Re: Where to obtain this Tesla SDU part?

Reviving old thread, I have the same problem. Anyone know if a replacement is available? I tried the Tesla EPC but it does not have these plastic plates with the hose outlet.

Hi - did you manage to get AC charging working as well as CCS with Orion and Foccci?

Telsa SDU and VW Beetle question

Hi, I am considering upgrading my Beetle from a Hyper 9 setup to direct drive using a Tesla SDU with a drop-in board.

My questions are, if anyone is running this setup:

What voltage range you are running it at, and

What battery physical configuration have you used (capacity, module choice ...

Re: Orion BMS and CCS

Thanks for the confirmation that both can co-exist. I was fairly sure they could, but I'm struggling to find out how the Orion should be configured to have them both enabled.

Do you know what the Max allowable DC ...

Re: Orion BMS and CCS


Charging - 12V into charge power from whatever detects the plug and decides that charging is going to happen. Orion configured for the Felten CCS is looking for the CAN message to determine if it is AC or DC charge

and

Way the Orion 2 interprets it is AC current limit is 0xFF means it is not ...

Re: Hyundai Ionic AE Charge Port Actuator wiring help needed [SOLVED]


I assume a switch and maybe one or two resistors. Just add an ohm-meter to the two non-motor pins and use your 12V to turn the motor to both ends.

Yep, you are correct. Once the lock is fully extended we see 1K appear across the feedback wires (red and yellow).
