Is it possible to add a trigger for the battery calibration routine? My car reports 29Ah capacity but is only accepting 26Ah charge. I know it will _eventually_ adjust downwards (1Ah per 1000km) but knowing it's already way out means I would prefer to have it reset to what it is now This can...

WD40 is even worse than that. It's good for "water displacing" (That's what WD stands for) and rust penetration (loosening frozen threads) but should NEVER EVER be used as a lubricant or on electrical contacts That "oily residue" goes tacky and then gummy. By all accounts it's mostly fish oil...

The best treatment is washing with baking soda mix first (this will remove most of the corrosion very quickly) before pickling with vinegar (or better: citric acid) and then another baking soda rinse to neutralise and water to rinse off, followed by 95%isopropyl alcohol to dry the whole thing...

There is a complete set of 2011 ECUs for sale nearby to me (london UK) for about $120 The owner is a EV hobbyist who was forced to scrap his imiev after the motor controller failed in a non-repairable fashion. We discussed the idea of BMU reprogramming to handle NMC cells (different discharge...

As far as I've been able to determine, it's a mitsubishi System on Chip (SoC) comprising a 32 bit CPU and 1024kB rom. I ran into programming manuals for these SoCs a few months ago, promptly lost the link and have been unable to find it again The point to making it easier to deal with is that...

Thread resurrection for anyone wanting to retrofit this stuff if you have a clockspring with only one pin in the connector at the back and none in the front (horn only) then you'll need to change it The part number on the 1 wire clock spring part is 8619A016 The part you need is 8619A017 -...

I'm interested from the POV of replacing the (ancient) 12V FLA in my 2012 imiev with a LiFePO4. I'm in southern UK so severe deep freezing isn't an issue but putting inside the cabin will allow a diesel heater under the snout - as the traction batteries seem to be down to around 60% I can't...

Thread necromancy (again) Apparently recommendations are 5 years/50k miles (80k km) for the reduction gear box and 20 years for the coolant and heater fluids The coolant seems highly optimistic even with the low stress operation of these items Can anyone confirm?

It's extremely harmful to store LiIon in deep discharged state (they occasionally ballon or even catch fire) or keep them float charged - they seem to prefer being stored at about 75-80% NiMH don't like being continually floated or left discharged, but what kills 'em in short order is being...

Thread necromancy..... Is there a writeup on how you ran the cabling back to that position by any chance? The current (2021) crop of LiFePO4 batteries all seem to have internal BMSes in them so that's one less thng to worry about and I have a webasto I've had for a long time and want to mount...

the problem with the remote as supplied was that it was very basic - no repeating timers, etc As a result most people who had it only used it a few times. If someone in North America has a key and the module from a breakers imiev , then perhaps the canbus commands could be decoded to...

The adaptor cables and adaptors are a pin-for-pin change with no electronics so as long as it can be made to physically fit, I can't see that it would be a problem The big question is "can it be made to physically fit?" - you may wish to obtain a rear quarter panel from a breaker in order to...

(thread resurrection, yes, I know) A standard 433MHz right blade 2-button mitsubishi remote transponder key should work fine. These are £5 on Aliexpress. I've just ordered a couple as my Ion only came with one key https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002739920113.html

I'm just going through the same issue with my machine (peugoet ion) as it's not running as cold as it should (fast charge cuts out at 50% when cold or very quickly after road running for a while) It's a 2 way thing on these beasties: You need to check the refrigerant AND the hot water side On...
