There's also openEVSE that can do solar limited charging, though that is not as well documented What battery setup do you have? That will affect what will talk with what - I'm assuming the idea here is to prevent the house battery discharging into the car battery? some also give the option of contro...

I currently have a 5kw grid tied solar setup, Im located in NSW. I think my understanding of how these battery charger inverters work maybe wrong, but I thought that these units would not allow power from your batteries to be exported back to the grid if you change your inverter, the grid operator ...

That looks cool. Might be worth testing with second hand cells? More benefit on cells that have more variation to start with. Though I do worry that if it's always balancing on voltage, higher resistance but higher capacity cells get charged at the expense of lower resistance lower capacity cells. I...

The newest official firmware takes it to 115kmh. That's 5500rpm on a Max 6000rpm motor. That version is mc1021 or newer (released I 2010 from memory) There are hacked versions that can go to 125kmh, but I bricked an mc when I tried to install it. Then in the process of swapping out the mc I blew up ...

There was a trike project in south Australia where they used an industrial vfd to drive the original Vectrix motor. Not practical if keeping the motor on a Vectrix though. Reliability has improved somewhat. Going to solid copper sleeves instead of mild steel studs gave the biggest improvement. This ...

I just realised I didn't actually answer your question - the 48v inverters have traditionally worked with lead acid natively, getting them to work with lithium has been the real trick.

The default is usually a 3-stage lead acid charge profile (voltage and current limits configurable)

Where are you based? you would likely get more bang for your buck taking some loads off grid using a large 96v UPS and adding more (offgrid) solar to support using second hand gumtree hardware, assuming you have space for more solar. That solution is several $100. Do you have an export limit? What i...

they wrote it off for hail damage? yikes

at a steep enough discount it wouldn't matter if you couldn't insure or fast charge

what would the 60Ah cells be worth? as in to put into a different imiev?

https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/redcliffe/miscellaneous-goods/250w-solar-panels-for-sell-156-solar-panels-only-/1244900823 Does say whether it includes railing, though likely not most likely panels are no longer fire rated for on building use and they're upgrading with all new $3500 for 39kw of pane...

That's a tricky one - you're not supposed to disconnect the grid neutral from the MEN, but you definitely want the inverter neutral connected to the MEN

how are automatic change over switches normally wired?

I think Leon Ford has a wrecked iMiev, unless he's already sold it.
Otherwise, try suziauto

headway's are pretty dated technology wise. If you go with a new chemistry you can have both more power and more range

intermittent faults are the worst given accessibility of the wiring, it probably couldn't hurt to have the vac pump run when either the brake lights are on, or the pressure sensor says so. you won't know if it's fixed unless it stops working again :( I also wonder if the vac pump has a high temp cut...

Not mine, but saw on facebook in Melbourne

are you trying to drive on the pre-charge resistor only?

Yep, can confirm can install a type 2 plug can also confirm I have a type 2 plug with 2 or 3 metres lead on it in my shed

Yeah should be possible. I may even have a type 2 plug floating around here somewhere

maybe the brakes are dragging, and subsequently experiencing fade due to overheating?

https://cleantechnica.com/2020/03/12/ossiaco-has-built-the-one-home-solar-inverter-to-rule-them-all/ 15kw grid hybrid inverter with built in chademo I wonder if I could tell western power it's only a 5kw inverter, and tell CEC that its 15kw so I can put up 20kw of solar :D a gen1 leaf or imiev would...

I just found an Alibaba supplier of these cells:

wow that's cheap. shame our exchange rate sucks atm

Is distance travelled (relating approximately to number of charging cycles) more relevant or the vehicle's age? Neither, remaining battery capacity is most relevant you will generally see less capacity on cars that have high mileage, been in high temperatures, or are old. or a combination thereof. ...

Welcome Hugh Where abouts are you based? As far as battery goes, you are best off getting hold of a OBD2 to Bluetooth adapater (high speed version) and using one of the mobile apps to see battery SOH and cell voltages when at low SOC. The rest of the car basically lasts forever (at least compared to...

220 wide x 320 tall x 110 deep Another good thing - you can set it to single phase by turning off phases 2 and 3. You would need a way to do this at no load though, as some setups (Zoe in particular) can get damaged if you lose a phase whilst charging. IMAG1427.jpg Note: drilled hole can be silicone...

I'm selling our circontrol eBasic charge station It's the type where you have to plug in your own type 2 cord (so not tethered) It's wired to a 32A 3-phase plug (with a couple of m of 6mm2 cable), so for install, just get a 32A 3phase (with neutral) socket installed. The good bits: It's on a plug, s...
