    How much should the battery be depleted before charging ?

    5 years now. The warranty is over. Never took care about not charging when it is almost full. I assume the car could charge to over then 4,2V a cell, but it doesn´t (only charge to 4,105V maximum) for its own protection. So, that thing of charging to 80% is almost useless. The car never let the...

    EVBatMon Readings

    Another number that we can't see in CaniOn, but shown on EvBatMon it´s SoC Real. CaniOn only shows SoC Display (or SoC Dash). Apparently, the car calculates to different SoCs, using different methods to calculate each one. I believe sometimes my car changes its SoC Dash to be more close to the...

    EVBatMon Readings

    I know that magic number. 70%. I am slightly over 70% at this moment (33,7/48=70,2%). So, with a Nissan Leaf, I would dye at the beach. I dream that in Mitsubishi Portugal they have 5 packs in storage for use in warranties, I dream that they will not be very scientific in giving me one, since...

    EVBatMon Readings

    Determining capacity by discharging it to 20% and then charging it to 100%, in my opinion, doesn´t work. Why? 1 - Because SoC can sometimes jump for another number in a millisecond. 2 - Because 20% of SoC can be 35% of real charge of the battery (specially in a new car, at this stage the car can...

    EVBatMon Readings

    I believe it does. So the number showed by EvBatMon is exactly the same as the MUT-3 at the Mitsubishi service. My data is in line with that idea. In the beginning of February MUT-3 showed 34 Ah in the Mitsubishi service. When I obtained for the first time the value with EvBatMon, in 13 of...

    Battery replacement survey

    They will only tell a price when they have a real car with a problem to fix. And someone in Mitsubishi will make a price, someone inside Mitsubishi that have the possibility to decide what price to make. And probably they will stay with the old battery, after they replaced it, under this...

    Battery replacement survey

    My battery now is at 33,7 Ah. I would like to remember all that one user from Las Vegas saw its range significantly reduced after two years, and received a new pack (that was not because a faulty cell, just battery degradation). That is described somewhere in this forum. I also would like to say...

    EvBatMon

    OBDlink LX or the MX are the best choices. They work with CaniOn and also with EvBatMon. I don´t know other that works with both.

    EvBatMon

    I have been using it since 13 of March. I had the luck of being one of the testers. At the beginning I had no access to the app. The STN1170 OBD that I use with CaniOn simply didn't work. I had to acquire a new OBD (D-Link). So only on 13 of March I saw the battery capacity remaining and it was...

    EvBatMon

    Finally, I will easy know the remaining capacity. I will buy and use this as soon as it is available. Last time I saw my number was in February, when I went to Mitsubishi with the not working charger. It were 34,0 Ah. As we are in winter, loss of capacity will be in a low rate by this months, so...

    my Miev will not charge

    Just on time.

    my Miev will not charge

    Yesterday my car was finally returned to me. The problem was the charger, with a new on-board charger now.

    Turtle riding (How far has the turtle brought you ?)

    One day your car will recalibrate its capacity. You will have to wait. Then, each bar will value less energy. Yes, I described that behavior earlier. With Canion you will be able to follow the cells voltage. It is safer at the moment then relaying on the reported SoC. Be patient and one day...

    my Miev will not charge

    Tried yesterday charging in Chademo. It charged without any problem. I could use the car if I had a chademo charger near my house. But i haven't. Drove it for 20 km and everything is fine. Stands now in Mitsubishi again, but now with 45% of SoC (it was with 13% when I left it in thuesday, so i...

    my Miev will not charge

    The nearest one stands at 90 km. No charge to do such a distance. Maybe I can go there on the top of a truck. The car is at 13% SoC now and I would be happier knowing that it is resting at an higher SoC.

    my Miev will not charge

    Today is the day I can't say no more that my car is free of problems. Don´t charge from the EVSE. Everything is fine, no trouble codes found, just refuses to charge with the EVSE. It stands at Mitsubushi now. I suppose it needs a new charger. They will take several days to figure it out. Under...

    Battery cell failing at just 2900 km (1800 miles)

    I wouldn´t expect no fails in the LEV50. But the question for me is if the fails are much more frequent in the 2012 i-MiEVs then in the others. For now, just an hypothesis.

    Battery cell failing at just 2900 km (1800 miles)

    Another from 2012 with a fail. At least, we know six of them from 2012 with battery failures. From 2011 there is no record of these failures, and there are many in Australia and Europe. Mine is one of them. This can be because a change of the cells, from LEV50 to LEV50N, that took place in 2012.

    Our Gas Free Miles Travelled

    Almost five years, almost 85.000 km, no sign of any problem. Great LEV50, just don´t like much the heat, but there is no problem, just give them the AC. Now loosing something about 2 to 3% capacity/year. Believe I will continue to drive it for many years.

    Battery Capacity Testing

    Is that last value from 1/12/2005 right?
