No, I can't recall any problems with a control board, though I faintly remember attempting to trace a few parts of one once. The ...

LCD error code 08 The user manual says that this fault code is "bus voltage too high". Yes, the service manual says to update the firmware, but I don't think this will fix it. I suspect that they don't expect this error to come up, but if it ever does come up consistently, perhaps they can fix it w...

Ditto, to both the thread and the interest.

I wonder if the repairable writeoff / original owner doesn't want the hassle combination is a viable, low cost but moderate effort path to a used EV? Quite probably, there aren't enough EVs in Australia to make that combination likely.

Is there anyway for the user to reset QQ from 12 to 11?

As far as I know, there is no command to set the inverter charge status directly.

but also the device does not work and no sense of work in it what do you think the problem I don't know the 2 kW models at all. You might be able to get a service manual for the lower power models from the Power Forum downloads area: Axpert Service Manuals . I'd suspect the various power supplies i...

On a system with 5 PIP4048 in parallel, for the last week it doesn't change from grid to solar. I have setup from Watchpower the charging only from grid 2A, (i think it's 10A for the whole 5 pcs) because from solar I don't have such low value and I've lost 2 groups of Winston 16s 40Ah by charging w...

Hello coulomb and weber, Hi and welcome, Alain, and all the other newbies that I've neglected to welcome. I'm a long time lurker here, eager to thank you very much for your great efforts setting up patched firmwares for 4048 and for sharing them with everybody. Thanks for the kind words. Now, as I ...

I have looked at Firmware 73.C but noticed at the noted the maximum voltage is 48VDC bus (58 max charge) if this is intended for Lithium Ion batteries some require higher voltages, would it be possible to have the voltage options increased to be able to charge up to 61 VDC, this will be possible wi...

The first day I tried to charge the battery the dreaded "preamature float" bug raised its head so I downloaded and installed the 73.00b patched firmware... Yes, it seems inconceivable that the charge bugs still exist, until you see one in action. With the patched firmware I am not sure why the PIP ...

In order to charge faster than 4 minutes I think I need a cell with heavier terminals. But that just means that these cells, whatever they are, are not designed for 15C operation. There was a claim that the devices inside were capable of charging and discharging in 30 seconds, i.e. 120C. In fact, t...

This circuit, present on only some models (before the fuse protection "feature") merely disconnects the battery negative strap from the rest of the inverter if the processor doesn't cause the opto-coupler (OP2) to be lit, which will turn on the four paralleled MOSFETs (only 1 shown). The circuit mak...

Thanks, any idea where to get a relay with contacts rated for 60VDC?

The usual electronics stores: Jaycar, RS Components, element14, mouser, etc.

Would a SSR be ok to use?

I'd guess so, but higher current models might have too much leakage (i.e. they might not turn off "hard enough").

This web site for an American installer has some details: https://lusciousgarage.com/blog/picc_certified_prius_plug_in_installer/ Highlights: 168 30 Ah Gold Peak NiMh cells (total 6.05 kWh) replace the standard prius 168 6.5 Ah Panasonic NiMh cells (total 1.31 kWh).

"Coulomb's partial schematic trace of the main power supply circuit" is available from the index. The AC start switch carries battery voltage, so you need to be careful with fault currents. A ~1 A 60+VDC fuse would be wise, on the pin 1 side. The switching current is quite low, however. Hence, many ...

Could you reply with a link to the carsales ad, please? I can't find it.
Just paste the link as text.
Thanks.

@Supercaps, the discharge test shows the voltage plummeting at the end, and the charge test shows the voltage springing up at the start.

These are both textbook demonstrations of a battery cell. How can you maintain that they are capacitors?

Thanks, Supercaps. That's a wonderful, clear demonstration of a battery.

Can someone who knows about capacitors please show us what the current vs time curve should look like if this is a 3000 F capacitor. The ESR has to be 30 milliohms or more...

Attention firmware updaters! Weber and I have updated the patched firmware, both LC and LF versions, from 73.00a to 73.00b. This fixes a problem whereby on older hardware, the inverter would end up with an error (fault code) 90, after 60 days of running time. There has already been one machine stop...

Hello,
Coulomb Firmware 73, it is a December 2017 model.

Thats the factory installed firmware.

Ah. So the early absorb termination could well be the long standing factory firmware bug, described here.

[ Edit: described the wrong charging bug; added link. ]

I'm also having problems with charging my batteries fully. I've set the absorb time to 120min. It doesn't stay for 2 hours in absorb. I note that even with timed absorb, absorb mode will be exited if the charge current falls to a particular value. That value is the number of active paralleled machi...

I don't know exactly why, but there's an exception to this case, when in bypass mode and charging with AC. In this state, the battery charging current doesn't include self consumption (or maybe more logically the self consumption is much less than the average 50W in solar charging mode with inverte...
