Hello everyone, I am new to posting this forum and interested in doing this cell swap.Over the winter of 2022-2023 I mated a 1984 TVR 280i body onto a 2012 i-Miev Chassis. The i-Miev at the time only had about a 60km displayed range, about 52km actual for me.In the summer of 2023 I dropped the battery pack and replaced the 12 weakest cells with used pulled LEV cells from a seller on eBay and am now able to drive about 72km actual with 80km showing when fully charged. Since I have to drive 40km of highway round trip just to get to the edge of Saskatoon I would like to do this swap to hopefully get back to around 100km range.Hello piev, I was wondering if you installed the cells as charged from the supplier or did you have to manipulate the voltage of each cell prior to assembling them into the pack? After reinstalling the pack and placing the car on the charger for the first time were you able to change all the cells up to 4.1V or did it require any special process?I don't have access to a mut-3 so I was planning on just letting the BMS adjust over time like I did with the cell swap which only took a few trips. I would definitely like to purchase one if anyone can suggest an aftermarket mut-3 system that is known to work and be compatible. I have found various systems out there but because of the cost versus the questionable compatibility and vendors I have been hesitant to purchase one.
