    12v Battery - All You Ever Wanted To Know

    We discovered the "quirk" early on, that the 12v gets drained if locked by the fob. Since then, I have into the habit of locking by pushing the lock button on the door on the way out, making sure key is in hand. Replaced the 12v with a sealed 12v from Harbor Freight a year ago, seems to be...

    using a Lev50 pack for solar

    I've smoked a cheap solar charger upon replacing the PV panel with a battery. I am guessing that as the PV load current is pulled, the PV output voltage is also lowered and thus limits the amp drawn. I missed my chance of obtaining some used Enphase M215 micro-inverter on ebay to try out, it...

    Better charging controls

    has any one attempted to external control start/stop charging with a timer by triggering the J17xx charge plug button switch ?

    using a Lev50 pack for solar

    I've been thinking about this as well, so far: Charging: Use level 2 at 3kw AC via the regular AC & vehicle charger setup; once the PV inverter is turning on, either via the grid or an islanded-subgrid. This way, the pack is maintained by the vehicle build-in BMS. Dis-charge: the meager...

    The Troubleshooting and Repair for On-board Charger (OBC) Thread

    "The 20A fuse in the OBC has never been found to blow even though it is in the same current path as the MCU fuse? " How/where is the OBC 20A fuse mounted ? you had hypothesized previously that the MCU 20A may suffered from mechanical vibration. I don't know where the OBC 20A fuse is.

    Fuel gauge vs tortoise

    I recall a post by ikiev, may be in the OBC trouble-shooting thread, with a reference to a user-manual page, saying that it's not recommended to disconnect the aux for over a month. If so, the computer has to be re-learn, something about the pack status.

    Life with Chevy Bolt EV

    We have 2x 2017-Boltev and have been quite happy with them...knock-on-wood. In fact, it's the 2016 Volt that is giving us grief, the center screen display has gone dark and at >60kmiles, it's out of warranty. Stealer wants ~$1500 to "try" replacing the HMI (Human Machine Interface). I failed...

    Care and Feeding of the OBC/dc-dc

    you could modify/hack your timer and your J1772 trigger, so that your timer control the trigger, and thus turning the charger on/off gracefully as intended.

    my 2013 Peugeot iOn will not charge :(

    This may have been brought up somewhere, but would it be prudent to preemptively replace the MCU fuse before failure ? though I have a 2014 iMiev, supposedly with different OBC.

    Wallbox Quasar or other bi-directional chademo

    wonder how the BMS activation work ? charging is just the standard Chamedo protocol, but pulling from the pack is normally handled through the motor drive circuitry. If BMS info is being passed through the Chamedo, then I guess the BMS can be external to the iMiev. I've been thinking about...

    The last new i-MiEV in the USA?

    dc chamedo charge port ? a must for me, especially with such tiny pack. Wish our 2016 Volt has fast charge

    hobdrive - and i-MIEV ion zero, show electronic control units, reset errors

    am using version 1.5.48 So how can the 2nd Ah value (35.3Ah entry) be higher than 1st Ah value (39.5Ah entry)

    hobdrive - and i-MIEV ion zero, show electronic control units, reset errors

    2014 iMiEV, haven't figured out how to upload a photo; but the below links to one of your screen shot which shows 39.5Ah and 35.3Ah values at 91.5% SOC. In my case, it was 37.3Ah, 39.0Ah at 100% SOC. Is the 2nd value to the right how much Ah was putting into the pack ? my guess is that the...

    Need a longer range ev

    bought our 2nd Bolt, another 2017, but pre-owned for $22K and a premium instead of an LT. Still looking for a Tesla, preferably a dual motor for AWD. Any one know of a good deal on Tesla, like Joes' friend, please pm me. :D

    hobdrive - and i-MIEV ion zero, show electronic control units, reset errors

    Hobdrive BMU screen has 2 displays for Ah. The first one is the same value as Canion display, which I've always interpret as pack max estimated capacity. Canion's Ah history shows the default built-in Ah decline over time. The 2nd Ah value seems to be current pack capacity, as it varies...

    On-Board Charger (OBC) Warranty Extended!

    Hopefully that is the case; but doubtful as Mitsu seemed totally surprised. Wasn't there a poll to tally with year info ? I believe kiev started. I've been charging DCQC almost exclusive for a year now. But during the recent multi days power shutdown in California due to wind&fire; I used the...

    On-Board Charger (OBC) Warranty Extended!

    wonder if my 2014 iMiev is covered, haven't received the letter yet.
