I have a muxsan leaf, I believe the Cambridge mitm does a check to verify that the two packs are within a small enough delta to prevent arcing and current surge. The big danger IMO is welded contactors and then a potential runaway event from this. There are a few folk doing this successfully in the ...

Thanks for the links Jamie, I bought two of the DC and one of the ac for the mg5 charger from your superbuy links. Haven't yet managed to make myself a taobao account as my Chinese is weak and thus searching for the mg zs charger parts is pretty damn impossible.

Couldn't find any mg zs connectors on superbuy, bigpie do you have links to the mg5 ones you bought or do you have spares to sell?

Just phoned mouser thinking the £46 price tag was for 224 factory pack of flanges. Nope it was for one. Wow.

Might do the thingyverse thing. Might have a look at your Chinese website suggestion

Mg5 obc connector flange is OK. Just the zs one on one of. I have a full loom for the zs but I could do with a 2nd or replace for custom connector. Will need an mg5 loom too or the connectors

ECAD attempt from mouser failed next stop thingyverse unless folk here have a spare and matching plug.

Not done anything yet Jamie except buy the bits.

I have 2 mgzs obc 1ph

One have a broken ac port

Not paying £50 to replace it. I will either use the thingy verse part to put an m25 grommit ...

I've taken the plunge an bought 2 2020 (gen1) obcs from an online breaker. Due to some initial shenanigans I've lucked out and they are now sending me a third as connectors have damage on one.

My plan is to upgrade the 1ph charger on my e-nv200 to 3ph. I may use the bonus one to augment my 2011 ...

What you have is similar to James at realsolar cars. His system is 300w (limited i think by the transformers he could source, though i might have that wrong)
Anyway i believe his system only works whilst the car is running for safety reasons.

I have been musing this too for my env200 when camping ...

it might, its worth a shot i think. Its either that or retire it completely.

hey big pie. do you mind me bring my pack to you in the env200 and applying your fix to the muxsan pack? I dont like the idea of taking the cells apart like the bike guy on ESphere, his soldering of the cell link left alot to be desired. (ok on a bike that you can jump off of and run away from ...

This feels like a belated 40th birthday present. Amazing progress Johannes and yuhi and celeron. Very eager to see the esp32 variant of this for my env200. Gonna be working on an esp32 bridge to replicate the solar export matching of the ovms and homeassistant. If i could get that and ccs and the ...

Edit i should qualify they are not the same as the gen1 leaf ones. But any post 2013 leaf disconnect will work i.e. those with the white lifting hinge (not green like the gen1)

Hi guys kiwifiat and cole.
Still have my lebowski boards (managed to bugger up the 6pack ixys prototype power stage by a wrong config) i need to decouple the power stage and reset the errant setting where i inverter the hi/lo side fets stupidly.

Anyway mouse, i see you are using stuart pittaways v4 ...

Having bought a 40kwh pack which came without one to upgrade my 24kwh vans battery i am left with a less useful 24kwh pack which id like to use for grid storage via a fronius inverter.

They are not the same as the leaf pack ones.

If anyone knows of a seller or even the manufacturer and part number ...

amazing work Jamie, was hoping for something like this for CCS for when i supplement the env200's rapid charging capabilities. would be great to have the kind of logging that something like this is capable of. My pet hate is a failed charge when you're not sure whether its the charger or the car at ...

I'm thinking I might have a perished bush in the dog bone mount.


Same thing happened a few years back to my leaf 2011. It took three seperate garages to find the cause of the horrendous torque steer it creates. Even nissan dealer missed it.

Thankfully control arms arent a mega expensive ...

I need to get ovms it appears. Looks miles easier than what i was planning on using. Love my home assistant. This make ovms start to make financial sense.

This is an early version i believe based on beagle board black, later ones indra roled out a more integrated board i think to meet new regs maybe.

Love this build. We hired a previa to go camping from bumble campers in the uk. My boys 4 and 5 at the time loved it as the car looked like a bee.
I really like the photos of you charging next to the very pricey oem evs, makes me smile.

Hopefully this year i will have my env200 fully converted to a camper. I know its kind of cheating but i am going to make lots of mods to enhance it, promise. Anyway live near to @bobby_come_lately Tom so may bring him too if his bmw z3 is lacking the range.

That is rubbish news. Let me know when you find new digs with Landlords not playing the game of kicking out the tenants just to up the rent. I will help you shift your tools/ parts etc. imagine the env200 will cope well with that task.

on a DCDC side note, my completed stock outlander died at a rapid the other night. was maybe that the 12v was as old as the car 2014 year model (not confirmed). but ive replaced it now anyway with a bosch one of comparable spec. just needed to mod the gas relief adapter to the hose which was done ...

I direct you to the thread i started on speakev for my nissan leaf 2011.

cheapest thing is to install heated seats they are amazing for extra heat when moving or stationary and take the least power for the ...

Take some photos of the resolver. Lets see how broke it is. Other stuff sounds promising Tom.
Got a hot air gun if you fancy trying to rebuild it.
