I have a box of green CMUs (unknown numbers) here in Perth WA, the shop I used to set the number up may have a number 09 on hand if you want me to ask.

I did not realize the boards had ID numbers when I removed mine and they went back in an unknown order, I did a lot of reasearch and found that they can be renumbered. I towed my imiev complete to the shop with a special scan tool (ill find the name) and they plugged it in and reset the numbers...

you do not need to get a number 9 specifically btw, you can use any green CMU board and get a shop to renumber them accordingly

run the heater in the driveway until 3v a cell

the chainsaw was due to them using the car to collect firewood in case that bit was not obvious

too cool, I bought my parts car from an off-grid property, they used it for driving around the acres of land with an electric chainsaw running from the DCdc charge port with a manually switched contactor. I test drove it around the property and it was surprisingly fun in the gravel and slipper...

Hi all, I have been trying to find a reliable supplier of NMC93Ah cells with no luck, the contact I was planning to use in Australia can no longer source these cells either (not OZ DIY). Has anyone recently ordered or found a supplier with 176 of these cells (for 2 Imievs)?

On the precharge circuit topic, the imiev already has that covered. The boosters contactor opens after the main pack contactor is triggered in both "charging" and in "ready" modes

The idea with my booster is that i can lift it out and use it as storage when I dont need the range in the car, this prevents me lugging it around all the time. I also want to build a long range booster for use on my trailer with my other EV. So it serves a purpose for many applications. I would...

You dont want the booster pack higher than the 88 (or 80) cells can reach (88×4.1v), that can be limited by the booster BMS. The problem i find is that NCM has a much wider voltage range and as a lot of other sources of information have shown, roughly 60% of the NCM capacity of the booster is...

Im not sure this is 100% correct, I added newer better capacity imiev lev 50 cells (all tested) from another car and over several full discharges below 4km on Gom and subsequent full balance charges the car has now increased its range above 100kms. From the research into the upgraded CAN bridge...

I have successfully fitted a booster to my vectrix (electric scooter) which doubled the range and can easily be removed when not needed, or to charge at university at my desk. (I got a fine for charging the bike at a power point and this was my work around), I live 120 km round trip from my old uni

I have inspected the best place to tee in to the HV on my other silver Imiev and ill likely go straight into the inverter battery connection point rather than splicing the cables, the boosters will need their own bms and be able to handle the same current as the pack, the problem is the voltage...

yes that leaf pack in the images of that thread is my car now, I have the bms units (yes plural more on that later) to install in the booster to keep it safer and easier to monitor cell voltages. it would also allow me to close the cells in to make hv safe too :P

Today at 7:47 AM Mickey asked for all outlander topics to be discussed outside of the Imiev upgrade thread so I started this conversation. I acquired 80 used outlander cells for storage, I do not have an outlander. I do know Brendan McCarrol that did a booster pack successfully in his outlander...

I was asked to keep all outlander discussions separate so i started a new thread for outlander and my booster packs etc https://myimiev.com/threads/booster-battery-for-imiev-and-outlander.5602/

that bump is actually the terminal of the cathode/anode I dont know which, it is welded to that tab that has an m8 bolt for cell links and an m3 thread for bms the m8 bolt has a large hex head that is very thin held captive by the plastic shape gismo underneath the tab and the guide pins go...

I have 80 2015 LEV40 outlander cells that I recently acquired if you want/need dimensions of the cells before pulling your pack apart

Hi all, sorry to but in being a newb. I want to also perform this upgrade, I have built booster packs for my various evs with good success and results. I am not afraid of mechanically fastening CMU boards or wiring bms components. what I do struggle with is coding and arduino things, which leads...

The cages/battery enclosures are likely 2 different types. The red CMUs are usually in the cases that have screw nut inserts into the fiberglass base, while the green CMUs are usually in the more modern steel clamp frames that "pinch/squeeze" the top and bottom fiberglass sections together. that...
