    Battery pack change plans

    Interesting, might put them into a VIN decoder or post them here to see what exact build they are…

    New to the iMiev with a 2012 model

    Not to discourage you but most owners who started changing individual cells realised soon that this was only a quick fix as due to severe degradation more and more cells keep going bad.. It is unfortunate that in most EVs the entire pack’s performance is determined by the worst cell..

    New to the iMiev with a 2012 model

    Hello and welcome to the forum It may well be possible that the 25.9Ah capacity can be improved by running a battery calibration in HobDrive given the car wasn’t used regularly the past year. It looks like you a have at least one weak cell in your battery if you experience the tortoise and...

    Imiev battery type

    IIRC, there was a similar case, turned out that one cell dropped briefly below 3V during charge process when on a low SoC, didn’t do that once the pack was above a certain level..

    Battery pack change plans

    Hello I’d say both are 1st Gen cars and therefore you should be able to do a straight battery pack swap. To be sure compare the VIN numbers of both cars. OBDZero is a great app for diagnostic, but it cannot read or reset DTCs, use CarScanner/Hobdrive for that purpose. No need for a dealer...

    P0C73 Coolant Pump Error

    Well done on the repair and sharing your experience. Not sure if adding a ‘Booster’ is going to make a significant difference , IIRC someone mentioned that the ‘cold’ transfer isn’t very effective to start with, pumping the coolant around faster will make little difference. That said, it...

    [Battery Warranty] A potential nightmare that turned out ok

    Mitsu techs are not allowed to open the battery pack therefore won’t troubleshoot anything inside it… As mentioned before @coulomb is correct the issue is most likely outside the pack, AC compressor is a primary suspect…

    [Battery Warranty] A potential nightmare that turned out ok

    You’re not the first who bought a cheap second hand EV, assuming service/repair and spare parts availability are the same as with an ICE car. This is unfortunate especially true for a 12 year old IMiev, given the low production numbers, finding a qualified tech to work on the HV system is...

    2011 IMiev with warranty replaced battery, non-runner, considering sale - UK, Devon

    I gather they meant an “Earth leakage fault”? While the detection circuit is inside the battery pack, the actual fault rarely (never) is. Most likely culprit is the AC compressor as mentioned in the discussion below: https://myimiev.com/threads/solved-p1a44-p1a45-isolation-ac-pump.4439/

    Miev with C-zero parts

    Maybe not, don’t think it has been tried before but might work with just 80 cells if you also swap the BMU (not sure if it’s VIN coded though). Another mad idea is to create 8 ‘virtual’ cells by reporting nonexistent CMU data to the BMS via CAN bus

    Problems with brakes

    Vacuum pump recall was worldwide, I got mine replaced foc about 2years ago..

    Miev with C-zero parts

    Maybe I misunderstood but a 2015 C-Zero has 80 LEV50N cells therefore you need to find 8 more to make up a complete I-MIEV pack… [edit] I found your earlier posts, you’re aware of what’s required battery wise so why not just swap it without bothering changing the rest? Keep your 2015 OBC & AC...

    Another ideea for upgrade battery

    Interesting video; yes you’re correct, he split 1S3P into 3S1P, however I gather he said that the seller cut the terminals for him, before he re-arranged them. Simple enough with just once block but a bit more effort required to make a 88S1P pack. Might also be a good idea to bench test a few...

    Go back to post #6 & #47 and run that sketch, if your setup is working it will display traffic on both sides

    Main Traction Battery Upgrade i-MiEV

    I wouldn’t bet on it, my initial setup with an Arduino UNO worked fine the way you described but not when connected to a CMU board for testing..

    Another ideea for upgrade battery

    Yes, you can, but where are you getting the required 20+kW to sustain that charge power from?

    Cheap CHAdeMO for Home

    I was actually trying to set up a V2H but cost for just the connector put a quick end to that dream, but the CHAdeMON port on an IMIEV is bidirectional although I hadn’t planned using the actual protocol
