Hello from Ireland!

Long Time Fan and Lurker of this forum, First Time Owner of a C-Zero and couldn't be happier. Help! lol
Lovely little car to drive on Irish roads, but the Rapid Charging does call the quits at 60%, Canion assumes there's 27-28Ah of useable capacity from 100%, Delta voltage is <0.1V, 70km range in freezing cold but hypermiling (it's fun)
1st task is to find a 10Amp Type 1 charger
2nd task, top and bottom balance the cells as much as possible
3rd task, keep this puppy on the road for as long as possible until an accessible battery refurbishment comes
4th Lower my insurance any way poossible
5th task, maybe some competitive driving in Avoca?

0th task, find new tyres, diluted water for 12v, hook up solar trickle charger, any DIY maintenance where possible. Aero improvement is much to be desired.

Hello and welcome to the forum

Lovely little car to drive on Irish roads, but the Rapid Charging does call the quits at 60%, Delta voltage is <0.1V

First cell to reach 4.1V will stop charging process, a well balanced pack is within a couple of mV, 100mV is not great, but probably the result of rapid charging

Canion assumes there's 27-28Ah of useable capacity from 100%,, 70km range in freezing cold but hypermiling (it's fun)

There may be more to it after a few battery calibration charges

1st task is to find a 10Amp Type 1 charger

A Leaf uses the same cable

2nd task, top and bottom balance the cells as much as possible

Balancing only starts @ 100% SoC, no bottom balance possible

3rd task, keep this puppy on the road for as long as possible until an accessible battery refurbishment comes

What’s on the clock?

4th Lower my insurance any way poossible

Add a named driver

0th task, find new tyres, diluted water for 12v,

Don’t bother, best to buy a new 12V aux and charge it overnight
