    Replacing Filament Running Lights With LED Bulbs

    So my problem with SRS fault light solved by dealer. They changed impact sensor I don't know which one - didn't help. So second time they changed main SRS system unit and light disappeared. So I believe problem was not related to LEDs, but I changed some LEDs back to lamps already.

    Upgrading Heating System - Independent Battery Source

    I did extra insulation for doors, floor, top. So I am kind of fine in car with my small home heater working from 60v battery. Only problem - I keep it in passenger compartment and it's look like it's better to get this heater working through regular ventilating system to be able to move air...

    Replacing Filament Running Lights With LED Bulbs

    Yes I will try. I will try to change back all easy ones (i don't want to remove front bumper to change back headlights). But I really I don't think that problem in leds, because I don't remember that SRS light came just after changing any light to led.

    Replacing Filament Running Lights With LED Bulbs

    Hi everybody. I changed all lamps except beams and 2 top brakes to leds. Sometimes later I got SRS fault light on. I thought it could be because I need to do last recall (something about SRS). Today I did recall, but SRS fault light didn't disappear. Dealer told me it could be because of leds...

    Passive cooling ?

    I measured resistance in different position of air dumper. If you look scheme (http://mmc-manuals.ru/manuals/i-miev/online/Service_Manual_2011_2012/img/90/HCT12E00EC00ENG.pdf) air dumper has motor and resistor which tells to AC controller in which position air dumper right now. My idea was to...

    Passive cooling ?

    I added 2 resistors to simulate that air dumper in "all to face" position and now remote Cool option blow air to floor too, so it will cool battery when car plugged to AC.

    EVBatMon Readings

    Nobody promises me exchange battery if degradation will more than 20% for 5 years. When I was thinking about buying I -miev I saw this statement very often and before buying car I didn't check if warranty documents has anything about it (my fault). But in same time I think if Mitsu doesn't...

    EVBatMon Readings

    EVBAtMon shows 37.4Ah for my 2012 i-miev (51k km) and car usually charges only up to 97.5%, so real available capacity is only 36.4Ah. And it's sad that Mitsu doesn't exchange batteries with this high degradation, because when I was looking for this car I thought If Mitsu tell that they expect...

    Switching electric car charger on and off frequently

    Why not? I don't see why it should be problem for charger. It starts slow so it will be less stress for electronics.

    Switching electric car charger on and off frequently

    I would worry about power cycling if it hapened once in 1-5 min, but I would not worry about it if it hapened once in 30min.

    New Owner - Ben got an iMiEV - Again!

    It is not true. As I can see you are used leds with canbus resistor, it means that led has resistor which is shorting power to increase consumption and to prevent canbus error apear, because system checking bulbs by consumption. If consumption is low it thinks that bulb died and shows error. So...

    12 Volt battery is failing, I'm looking for replacement

    Guys, dc-dc could provide about 80A current, so any big battery would be charged properly! I don't see why bigger battery would take much more energy. It will take depends of how battery was discharged before. For battery 35Ah and 50Ah and I-miev consumption - it will be not so big difference...

    PREPARATION FOR COLD SEASONS

    I modified regular 120v 1500Wt heater to work from 60v 20Ah e-scooter battery and I am using it when I am along in car. Not bad actually. It helps if temperature outside not so low. Battery from scooter is pretty small, so it's not a problem to take it home and charge every day. I did same thing...
