Hi Kiev, actually I have seen exactly the same because a guy with "too big hands...and limited brain lat me say" removed the control board without too much attention. Then he bring the OBC to me. I took hours for resoldering the connector as the location is not easy even using the right stuff...

Hi Franco, It should work, I did the same with a 2018 gen 2 OBC on an old C zero of 2011. Please note that I sometimes got incompatibility with OBC from USA. Ciao Sandrosan

Hi Leena let me suggest you to buy a triplet not older than 2013-14 to be sure that the cells are the LEV50N. Then check the cells unbalance around 10km of remaining range with Canion. I fully agree to try buying an OBC as spare part. In any case good luck 👍 😉.

Yes having fun with these cars is great, I also can't wait to see your project for the exhaust system with fog! 😃

Glad to know you have fixed it replacing the CMU 09! Something similar happend to me 2 years ago but it was a different CMU number.

Hi Jakob, which cell have you installed in the traction battery pack? And ? Can I ask where did you buy them and how much? Thanks Sandrosan from Italy

Why don't you buy an EVSE with adjustable current? There are many of those on Aliexpress, pls remeber to select the one with Type 1 plug

Great i am happy for you

Without power, I would put some deoxidizing spray into the connector holes of the type 1 plug and car socket. And still without power, connect and disconnect the type 1 plug several times, hoping to clean the contacts. Pls try and let us know, in a couple of times, I solved the matter in this way.

That's so clean and nice 👌 thanks for sharing your Great project 👍 bravo

Hi Coulomb, I see, I will pay attention to the "13A" mark and if I have a chance I will check it and see if the current is fixed or can be changed.

Yes "ALL" sounds good. But I do not think it is linked to the AC voltage input range as all should accept 100-240V AC But I have noted that on the OBCs there are at least these marks: ALL, NAS, STD. NAS probably means North American Standard and, if I rememeber well, they do not work on EU cars...

Hi Lviv, In addition on the Kiev's comments, just please be sure that your car and the other OBC come both from the same continent. One time I got an OBC from the USA and it did not work on a EU car. I had to swop the upper control board too. Let us know, Sandrosan

Hi Frud, Congratulation! Your cells assembly design looks so clean and good looking. I am following your project with great interest. My regards and take care there. Sandrosan from Italy

Hi Kiev and Coulomb, I have decided to open the cover of the 2012 model (invaliding the warrantee... :( ). And I have discovered that: The 2 OBCs, the USA model 2012 and the EU model 2011 in my hands have the same connectors, same pins, same pin positions, same wires colors, fortunately let...
