Re: MG Coolant Heater
Is the size and characteristic (fast-blow? time delay?) of HV fuse known for this heater?
Max consumption I=P/Vmin=3.5kW/230VDC~15A. Mine came with the 4mm2 HV cable, which can do <25A continuously. The heater is an inductive load though.

In the US these heaters are found in the infamous Fisker Ocean. I can start a new topic if anybody is interested.
Connectors are the same. The wiring is mainly same. The car schematic I found doesn't show the CC/Ignition KL15 pin. I powered up this heater on my bench and it started sending ...

Re: MG Coolant Heater
If I understood correctly, currently we only know to send the below to 0x2A0 (per wiki) which turns the heater on to max?
Also. What is the purpose of the cc/ignition signal? Does the heater fall asleep after some time?
Code: Select all

Re: Nissan Leaf (and Tesla) coolant pumps
Tesla pump consumes max. 7A, Nissan Leaf pump consumes max. 3,5A? So Nissan Leaf pump can only produce ~ half the flow rate that of Tesla pump (max. 720L/h)?

Old radiator didn’t cut it when it got 30 degrees outside recently, so I’ve upgraded to a super widescreen version.
I’ll see how it copes with just my 2 fans, but there’s space to add another at each end if it needs more blow. Actually it’s suck so the air goes the same direction when moving ...

Re: 2008 Nissan Quest Van with Tesla SDU.
Can anybody help me with a config file for Tesla SDU with brake regen that is working. I have the pin15 connected to the brake light.
I keep modifying the parameters but nothing works. I was never able to see brake regen work so far.

Anyone planning to use the VW heater MUST install it upside down that is with the power sockets at the bottom as you get mini explosions due to inner airlocks inside the heater.
Should the coolant flow be reversed then too, to enter through the physically lower port and exit via the physically ...

I got my hands on the same heater model for cheap as well - cheap enough for the risk of not being able to successfully reverse engineer the communication. Worst case I will open the electronics and see what I can find in there. So far I am pretty confident that it is an Eberspächer Titronic CHHV ...

Re: Simp BMS
As I continue my fast charging tests, would you say it is expected for the most positive module to be the hottest?
All in series. 1 most negative, 14 most positive.
After charging from 53% to 73%, starting at 125A, but gradually reduced to 85A by the BMS.

Re: BMW i3 CCS/charge port controller
I fixed the issue with the time-to-charge by dividing Full_SOCt and Bulk_SOCt by 10 before sending to LIM. This is indicated by the dbc and the comments in the Zombie code, but doesn't look like is implemented in the code itself.
