any update on accessing the iMiev main pack for V2H ? My 2007 Fronius ig3000 grid-tie is on its last leg, so I have been browsing around looking for replacement, and ran into this hybrid grid-tie inverter series with 400vdc nominal battery input, Growatt MIN 3000-76000TL-X-US. That battery...

I was wondering about whether the high charging profile in these up&coming EVs is detrimental to the pack longevity. I recall DCharging my pokey ChevyBolt and relishing the high rate on the BMW, Hyndai, Kia, Porsch.... These rates even made my 101kw max on my Telsa 90D seemed pokey. My guess...

any one know if ozelectric also upgrade the BMS ? NCM and LFP has slightly different cut-off voltage

it has always been my experience that restarting Chamedo after the 80% shut-off, will continue charging until 100%

you can take a chance to kill it ? by keep pushing it and repeatedly at low SOC ? just be sure doing near home or have a way out in case of being stranded. May be when it gets warmer.

can you monitor the 12v in Ready ? i use one of these monitor in the cigarette plug, mine shows 14.1v in Ready confirming DC-DC op; and usually 12.7-13.5 in Acc, prior to going into "ignition" (sorta a health/SOCharge check)...

The MeanWell power supply in series remind me of the grid-charger I built for the Insight. Joes probably has one too. It was a decent way to "current limit". Is it conceivable to put one in series with the iMiev 360vdc as a current limiter ? looking forward to find out if you can AC-couple...

we learned in the early days with our 2014 to always lock with pushing the lock button or turning the mechanical key, the 12-v was drained several occasion locking with the fob. So it's a habit now, I thought it had something to do with arming the alarm system. I have one of those dash-board...

had to look up titanate battery. Please share model, price and where it was purchased. What's the goal to get higher than 14.1 charging voltage ? more capacity ?

got an idea to run by folks: how about fabricating an external pack of 15-16 in series of the iMiev cell (L50N ?) , connect to the iMiev pack in series via the Chamedo port, then the H6 can see the 400vdc effectively. Probably 16S is better given available BMS. Just have to be crazy careful...

glad to hear that you're careful and aware of the situation. Am not entirely sure how the MPP circuitry works, but it may pull max current while watching for Vpv to drop to determine that max-point. If only we put in a max current limiter in series. One problem with connecting the iMiev...

Ben - i don't think you can do that, connecting the battery to the PV input. PVs are inherent a current source and battery has infinite current, it's going to blow. But this is the first inverter i've seen with such a high battery voltage spec. What is the iMiev pack voltage again ? haven't...

bought an used 2016 90D April2021, have already logged ~12kmiles. I decided to drive instead of flying for work the last 2-month (July through Aug) between SF BayArea-Salina,KS-Houston,TX-Palmdale,CA. The SCharging & auto-steering+adaptive-cruise are just a paradigm shift. It's like being on...

We have 2 2017-Bolts, one approaching 90kmiles, the other over 80kmiles. Haven't been taking these warnings seriously, though may be I should. I think i've charged to 100% may be 3x in the last 4-yrs; usually daily charge and stay within 35-75%. Looking forward to a new pack :) We have been...

so sorry to hear about Aerowhatt, we had a lively exchange a few years back and my current household power outage backup system incorporated many of his suggestion. Another 2014 iMiev good feature is that it may have the more robust inverter/charger. I just drove through Albuquerque a few...

I am debating the same discussion, as there are now 5 EVs in my drive way. My 2014 iMiev has around 25kmiles. My plan is to get all the recalls done this week, then put it on non-op then eventually configure the pack as a house battery for outage back-up and base load shifting. I just cringe...

how do you plan to bring the new cell module to more less the same SOC as the rest in series ?

Thanks for the warning. I was concerned about over charging too, and the cheapy solar charger indeed does not have a controller, just a blocking diode. I've kept an eye on the voltage with a cigarette socket volt read-out, the read-out is never above 12.4 v in ACC, then promptly goes to 14.xx...

Since my iMiev is mostly sitting around these due to the shelter-in-place, I have a solar battery maintenance panel on the dash and connected to the 12v . It's been left in place 24/7, even while driving on occasion...

count me in as well, thanks
