Forum nonsense :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Well put!

CJ I am also trying to learn this and I'll put out my summary thoughts and have the experts correct me where I am wrong The car uses CANbus to communicate to its various components Car Area Network The software on the PHEV and MiEV is the same The software is coded to utilise the standard OEM...

Yes please mate! Any and all dimensions you can grab and photos of the pack and cells would be useful if you have the time. Are you planning an upgrade / swap out? Or already finished?

I am looking at 90Ah batteries of smaller physical dimensions on all 3 axis. I am on a PHEV but from what I read it's the same software on MiEV. So hopefully I can recode so it sees the extra mileage, but worse case scenario I move from current 20kms / 15miles up to stock 80kms / 50 miles range.

Thanks mate, I followed that link and they end up cross referencing this thread at the end ;) Yep no issues with the spacing of the new cells. I did a spreadsheet to calculate out what thickness thermal pads I would need. Game plan would be to buy a number of sizes so I can adjust if real...

Hmm thats problematic for me as thats out of my skill set. I can definitely use thermal pads or cork to help with insulation but if I need to MacGyver jumper cables I am out of luck. Was really hoping for a plug'n'play approach with the new cells

Thanks for the reply! 2) I am planing on using thermal pads as the spacers, from a tear down video on YouTube I noticed what looks like a t-pad installed from the factory. I plan to use differing thickness T-pads to get me into the mostly correct dimensions. It will be lengthwise that's...

Hi Piev I have an Outlander PHEV but looking to something similar in replacing the battery cells. 1) Understand the cork on the bottom to lift the cell up, but why cork on the top of the cell? 2) Aside from height did they the other 2 dimensions fit? My cells are smaller on all 3 dimensions vs...

I know this is an old thread but you should absolutely be able to open the trunk / boot without power. This is a safety feature in case anyone is ever locked in there and would otherwise be an open liability for any car manufacturer. For my 2014 Outlander PHEV, there is a little compartment on...
