Juanjo Madrid 's cell replacement thread

[Juanjo Madrid]

But one think is real, with the diagram of Kiev cells 88 is connected to 77, not is possible 77 to 84 and 85 to 88 are flipped

Does not the buss bar go from CMU11 Cell A -to- CMU12 Cell D? i can see it in your picture.

If the cell contact pad is damaged on one cell, then it can affect the voltage reading by the CAN buss of the neighbor also because the voltage reading is referenced with respect to the neighbors too.

I believe the 4 cell modules are on the wrong side in this schematic.

in the picture below you can see the battery disable plug it is orange. That plug is under the drivers seat. Front left on an American vehicle.
The schematic says that is CMU7, so CMU12 is next to Module 11 moving across the middle. CMU6 is then next to CMU1 across the middle from CMU5.

So in the picture below. Bottom left module is 1.
Front-->
5--6-------------Plug---7
4------------------------8
3------------------------9
2-----------------------10
1--12-------------------11

Looks like we won’t be able to convince @Juanjo Madrid that the schematics is correct? Unfortunately not much else to do than hope he has a change of heart and swaps the right cells…

¿La barra colectora no va desde la celda A de CMU11 hasta la celda D de CMU12? Puedo verlo en tu imagen.

Yes Kiev, CMU 11 is connected to CMU12, them cell #77 is connected to cell #88 and this is not possible, I think the #77 is #84 in real and the #88 is #85 in real, you can see in my pictures and in other pictures, I think are flipped all packages in the diagram.

Thank you for trying MickeyS70, maybe some thing Im loosing with my poor english, but the reality and the busbar, the ohmmeter, pictures, etc... are more strong than your words, LOL. 77 not is possible to be connected to 88, some is wrong in first Kiev 2022 diagram, confirmed by my eyes and tester, and other pictures in web sites and this forum, I think CMU 11 and CMU6/CMU12 numbers are placed where is in diagram, but not the cell numbers, are flipped and you can see in all the pictures simply following busbar white lines: I think 77 cell is 84 cell, 78/83, 79/82 80/81, 81/80, 82/79, 83/78 and finally 84 is 77, this on CMU11 (and all the others CMU are flipped them from CMU 1 to 10) and in CMU12: 88 is 85 (84 and 85 them are connected ok in my picture), 87/86 86/87 and finally 85 is 88 ( and them this final cell entry y connection black box in middle of package).

I have two CATL 93Ah cells too, 4 replaced and dismantling cells in total (2 Lev50N with 1 miliOhm and 2 CATL 93Ah with 0,5 miliohm) do you recommend to my change others loose voltage cells?
Thanks again,
Juanjo.

For every Cell Module (CM01 thru CM12) the most positive cell is called "A". This is the convention in the FSM and in the MUT used for diagnostics.

It is also the lowest numbered cell in the counting sequence for each Module when voltage is reported over the CAN buss. The cells are reported in order, from highest to lowest voltage,
A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H

As a result of this convention and reporting sequence, the bottom of the Pack, the most negative cell, is CM01 "H" cell #8. And the top of the Pack, the most positive cell, is CM12 "A" cell #85.

The series electrical connection of the cells does not follow a normal counting sequence.

Nothing wrong with your English, but you don’t seem to accept that cell numbering isn’t following the electrical connections (as @kiev mentioned multiple times)

I understand you need to see to believe therefore I suggest to do this now (or take the risk of having to re-do all the work later):

Swap one of your unbalanced CATL cell into the position you think 86 should be, leave the lid open, move the pack close enough to the car that you can make the data connections only (no need for HV cables), make sure airbag plug under the driver seat is closed, connect 12V aux and turn on, then check voltage diagram with OBDZero and see where it shows up…

It’s generally not recommended to mix cells chemistries, however beggars can’t be choosers and the CATL93 are within the LEV50 voltage range, therefore it’s OK to use them imho.

But from experience of others, swapping any ‘new’ cells into a degraded pack will only fix the problem temporary as more of the remaining cells will go ‘weak’ over time and the cycle starts again..
