Real SoC is over 100%. That doesn´t make any sense. Neither going there because after a few hours it will go lower. If that was the case, why not doing it all the time? This is what I think is the answer. The car estimates a number for its current battery capacity. My i-MiEV established that...

No one more saw SoC over 100%?

34 Ah is the current capacity. It assumes that, from information obtained with time. But it is only a guess, as I show.

They speak, speak, speak and just see they doing nothing. If you want to have a number that deserves attention, make it 109 miles.

Only two, that we know about, reached that number. In hundreds of users, only two reached over 170 km, and both stopped at 175 km (seems the odds are in my favor). I believe for these two guys the car offered the possibility of using all the energy from 4,105V to 2,750V lower cell voltage, when...

Still far from the 109 miles record, or the maximum number that the display can show you - 175 in km. Only that number will impress me. :)

My car show regularly a decrease of 0,1 Ah each 20 days. With the higher temperatures it did a recalibration last month. Hot weather this summer, maybe the hottest one ever. Portugal is now with a significant part of its forests on fire. So, only if I had a big fridge to stop it inside I could...

"Malm, you think this is the way that iMiev hides capacity in the first years? If you are right then the CellVoltage as a function of a fixed %SoC should be an indication of real iMiev battery capacity?" YES.

You don't fill it lost all that capacity because when new the car doesn't use all its capacity (car stops with 0, 0 % Soc but with high voltage in the cell, surelly over 3,6 V). Maybe it works in the first two years as if it only has 42 Ah instead of 48. That's why we don't fill loss of capacity...

When it happened to me, not charging, it was a problem with the internal charger. I have now a new one, given in the 5 year waranty. I believe it will charge via Chademo, if it have that option. When that happened to me, I cold charge via the Chademo port.

My i-MiEV is from March 2011. In Portugal the car is sold with 5 years warranty for what makes it an electric car, like motor, traction battery, internal charger,... That warranty is over, for me. I'm now doing the fifth annual check, and the person who always work in my car received an internal...

I had this information today. My battery warranty was extended to 10 years. Great, great news.

Mine also lost 0.4 Ah since from 33.8 since March. Now with 33,4 Ah. Maybe it makes an upward correction in the future and the number became softer. It happens sometimes in the Outlander.

It depends on the weather. When rains a lot, and wind is strong for many hours, then wind and hidro do the job. Solar is not an important source of power, in this winter like days. I-MiEV are not very common here and VE not very popular. This is not as simple as it seems. In fact, in the end we...

Model year & Mileage - 2011, 55,500 miles 5 Years Did the car serve your routine needs or not - yes, easily Did the car - come short or surpassed your expectations? - surpass Pleasant Surprise - Range loss, much less then it was expected in the first years Biggest Disappointment -...

Thank you for improving CaniOn. My best companion in my i-MiEV journeys.

I don´t see any problem in your car. In a full a charge cells can go to 4,105/4,1V, but can be arround 4,08/4,09V too, no problem with that. And can stop charging a little behind 100%, no problem with that too.

I believe cells 57 and 65 are located side by side, in an internal position.

Excellent, Martin. As I have been saying for the last 3 years, I-MiEV doesn't recalculate it's capacity frequently. So, each one of the 16 bars values approximately the same energy for 2 or 3 years. But the battery capacity is dropping, so there will be one day that the car will stop before...

EvBatMon and CaniOn side by side, after one 100% charge. The two apps show the same numbers. If we trust in CaniOn, we can also trust in EvBatMon.
