If I remember right his car made a positive capacity adjustment, not negative. The positive adjustment comes from discharging to lower voltage for the same SoC

My iMiev just passed 135 000 km last Monday, and still doing great. I tested with EvBatMon in September and got a reading of 67,92% batterycapacity left. However, I believe the rest capacity is higher - maybe up to 75%. I think the BMS was reset when I changed the 12V battery in January and...

Anyone with experience and guidance for buying a MUT III tool? I just had an experience with the yellow error light turning on - probably because of weak 12 V battery. I drove the car for 2-3 days and it locked up. Not possible to start, not possible to charge. The dealer wanted $50 to read the...

Malm, you think this is the way that iMiev hides capacity in the first years? If you are right then the CellVoltage as a function of a fixed %SoC should be an indication of real iMiev battery capacity? For example for 17% SoC (1 bar) the CellVoltage should drop from something like 3,7V when the...

Extended warranty for the traction battery is the important thing for me. My iMiev was registred February 2011 so I hope it is an world-wide warranty extension.

Fantastic! I hope this applies in Norway also. It makes it easier to own an more-than-5-years-old iMiev. Where did you get the information from? And what did the information tell you?

Model year & Mileage - 2011 / 106 000 km Did the car serve your routine needs or not - yes, definely. I have mostly parked my Toyota Landcruiser diesel. Did the car - come short or surpassed your expectations? - It met my expectations Pleasant Surprise - 1) Nice to drive (all automatic, no...

Joe, how do you know this? Is it your own hypothesis based on assumptions on how the iMiev drivetrain is build, is it facts that is written somewhere which you can share with us or is it tested by someone and documented? I am an electrical engineer myself and know all the physics around this...

I always use B when I need all the power in the batteries. It is just an impression, but I think B consumes less energy than D for a given trip. It is difficult to prove scientifically since a lot of parameters will vary between two different trips. But my - and other Norwegian iMiev drivers -...

Canion is a wonderful app that has given me very much insight into the lives of the batteries. I also have/had problems with BT. When driving it could sometime stop working and was hard to pair again. Almost always when the car was turned off and the Canion was still on, the BT connection...

Before the 12V was emptied, I always trusted the bars and had no problem to run down to 1 or 0 bars or maybe even turtle. I never run out of power. But then I had the situation described above with 2 bars and car stopped. I think it was something similar that Malm has described earlier in...

Do not trust the turtle! When the car was new I once in a while run down to the turtle. One claimed that you could drive 12 km with the turtle as he had done. I had a maximum of 3 km. Last fall I saw the turtle with still 2 bars left, but this time it was serious. The car run for only 50 m and...

Great - this is a functionality I have been looking for. Another thing - I once in a while get very big problems with Bluetooth connectivity om my Samsung Tablet. I had problems yesterday - first it would only connect for a few minutes, then the Tablet was not able to locate the OBD adapter -...

45.8 Ah is what the report says, yes. But it cannot be correct

I have som interesting results that I want to share on the forum. I have measured battery capacity at the dealer every year since I bought the iMiev i 2011: Date: Km: CPU: Battery current capacity: 27. 3.2012 19929 1917 42,3 Ah 19. 4.2013 41183 4026 40,8 Ah 17...

Now this happened to me also. When I was driving with one bar, suddenly the turtle showed and after 50-100 m the car stopped. After recharge it worked as normal. I think this happened to me because my 12V battery was drained a couple of weeks earlier, enad then maybe the SoC calibration got...

Any idea if this will fit an European 2011 model iMiev? I am looking for the hitch to carry my bicycle. I know that the dimensions on US and European iMiev are slightly different, but do not know if this also apply to where the hitch will be mounted

I am also very thankful for Martin's and Xavier's effort. Canion has helped me a great deal to better understand the car and its batteries. I installed the 126 and it works fine. I have been forced to reset the OBD adapter a couple times. One problem I see with 126 as compared to one of the...

Thanks for information. Is release 126 available on playstore now? Batt temp history is very interesting for us that drives in a cold country, even though spring is here now. How do you restart OBDLink LX. But taking it in and out? Or by pressing a button? In my opinion Canion was more stable...

I have problems with Release 125. It reconnects all the time - every 5-10 seconds during charging - and then resets all counters. It is also unstable and sometime I need to remove the ODB adapter to get it connected again. I think I used Release 123 earier with good (better) results. How can I...
