Each time i launch the app, i have togo into "vehicle details" and specify imiev li-ion .. app does not save this setting. New problem .. "voltage smoothing" function just triggers a "timeout" message almost immediately. Anyone get this to work?

You have to spec also the type of battery or the bmu data does not come up in the menu.

Never mind i figured it out. My vehicle profile needed more detail, imiev is not enough. It was at one time, not any more though.

Pulling my hair out trying to get cell voltages. Have good comms with OBD link"LX". Am only getting accy batty voltage, this fluctuates between 14.4 and 12.6 depending whether ignition is on or not. I have been able to get bmu data before with this hardware and hobdrive. Maybe i am not accessing...

I did try to drive the car to zero bars a couple of times. I could get about 8kms. The second and third time it improved a bit. After each trip I recharge but it only gave me 3 bars then it shuts down. I don't recall the cell voltages when the car was at zero bars, but I think (from memory)...

I have been down that path with Mitsubishi USA .. car is on an island and the cost of getting it to dealer is prohibitive.

Thanks for your perspective Kiev, I am going to yank both of the cells and see if that fixes things. I will precharge them to match the rest of the pack before I swap them out. Once you go to the trouble of dropping the battery, may as well replace any suspect cells. Hope to finally get this...

Rather hard to balance at the bottom since you can't get all the good cells to the lower limit in the car, you can however get them to the upper limit quite easily. Then worry about the two bad cells. The problem surfaced after the car stood for a very long time (I was going through cancer...

OK interesting .. the BMU in the car does try to balance the cells but only at the top? (And this balancing function is rather limited requiring LOTS of cycles to achieve a balance). To clarify my situation .. I have two cells (both in the same 4 pack) that lag behind the remaining cells when...

Well that is the plan, to just switch out the cells. unless there is some way (not requiring sophisticated diagnostic equipment) to confirm that the 4 cell replacement pack is a plug and play for the bad pack that's causing the problem. Last thing I want to do is to pull the battery twice. Since...

What is the consequence of guessing wrong when switching out the 4 cell module?

The replacement pack is at 16v. The rest of the traction battery is fully charged. So they are all circa 4V. The balancing function will level it all out, I hope. The bad pack I have one cell that is about 3.6V and another about 4v when the rest of them are at full 4.1V. The BMU shows only 4...

About to drop the battery to replace a bad cell. It is one of the cells in a 4 cell pack so i plan to replace the entire module. Could not buy just one cell. Question: is the replacement 4 pack plug and play or am i going to get into an eprom nightmare?

Can someone remind me how to get to the traction battery diagnostics? Ie which screens to navigate? Call me dumb but i hsve done this in the past, cannot remember exactly how, i cant find those screens now even though the rest of it seems to work.

Been a while since i used hobdrive. Have been able to access cell-specific data in the past. I cannot pull them up now. All i get is accy battery voltage. When i hit "screens" and then "diagnostics" i get "initializing" for 5 minutes or more. Maybe my license has expired? When i check it it...

Would a deep cycle battery not be more appropriate for these cars than the std lead acid? No cranking. But sometimes, if you let the car sit, it does drain the accessory battery.

Pack seem to be OK, never went below 3.3V per cell, all cells coming up and equalized even though I am gang charging. Going to swap this pack out soon. Meanwhile the car has stopped taking a charge at all .. lights on charger cord don't come on at all neither do fans. I am assuming voltage of...

I am going to remove my batty pack to replace one of the 4 cell packs. I have read that the small bolts securing the undertray shear off. Can someone tell me the size so I can have some spares handy? (Car is in a remote place where you can't go down to fastenal). Anything else I should take with me?

Hooked up NOCO in "repair mode" and it's bring up the 4 pack slowly. Took all morning to get from 4.06V to 4.15V. It's delivering 1.5A. So I think that's the ticket. I'll bring it up to 16V, check the balance, and then ship it over to the island. I'll bring the existing pack to 4V per cell and...

Great! Thanks. I can put it on a boat or there is an air charter service that says it's AOK to bring on board with me. Will charge that sucker up to 4V per cell, and when I get to Bahamas, will charge the rest of it up (or discharge) to match (have hobdrive). Anyone who wants a free vacation...
