Re: 2024 Best battery: 100kg limit

22kwh for 132kg sounds pretty good. The BMW modules sound like a good bet - but I need a higher nominal voltage.

At any rate this all sounds promising so I’ll ping my shipper and see how adventurous they are feeling

Re: 2024 Best battery: 100kg limit

This is why I posted the question - one seems to need to compromise somewhere. Given the fact that I am going for a hybrid setup, I should probably just look for the best hybrid battery I can find since I won't be able to build anything better than a large OEM engineering team. @m.art.y how much doe...

Re: 2024 Best battery: 100kg limit

Voltage range 300v-400v.

Not counting housing.

I think if I can get 15kwh I'll be happy.

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out!

Re: BMW i3 drop in boards

Johu, I have looked, but am unable to find an answer. Could I somehow use this board to control an i3 generator motor to use it as a range extender? I see two possibilities - 1. This board is compatible with the generator inverter, so just use that Or 2. This board is only compatible with the tracti...

Leaf Precharge Circuit: Identifying parts

Hello, I have a leaf precharge circuit, and I'm trying to figure out how to wire it up, and how to control it. I have looked through the forum and through the wiki and can't find much, so I thought I'd ask here and make the answers into a wiki page. I don't have access to an actual Leaf to see how t...

What do you need an Outlander HV Junction box for?

Hello. I am very slowly sifting through the parts I bought from Zapatero's e-Mpreza build. One thing I found is this box. My googling tells me it's an Outlander HV junction box. When I open it up it looks like the HV cables go right through it via solid bars, and the orange cable has 3 wires coming ...

Could I ask what an OI board is? I’ve been trying to follow along - very interesting - but I can’t get a full understanding because I can’t figure out what an OI board is.

Hello. I have tried searching, but am not getting an answer so I thought I'd create a new topic. I have received a secondhand ZombieVerter from a builder on this forum. When I attach 12v and ground, I see the Zombie's (customised) SSID come up on my WiFi list. So I know _something_ is happening. But...

Re: Rear Drive Unit Continuous Rating?

FWIW it looks to me like the Outlander rear drive unit and Netgain Hyper9 are really close to each other in terms of power output - about 35Kw continuous, 85Kw peak. So if you’ve seen a vehicle with a Hyper9 installed, there’s a good chance the Outlander unit will be able to move it as well.

Re: [WIP] 1973 VW 1303S

To answer your question, an outlander rear drive unit at 300VDC be good for 185Nm from 0 to ~4000rpm. This is not my real world experience, it is from the wiki. To give you a bit of a comparison, a Golf 3 GTI peaks at 175Nm, at 2000rpm. You should expect strictly better performance from the outlande...

Re: VW T5 Hybrid

If you're wondering about appropriate diff ratios, the GoWesty hybrid used a Hyper9 mated directly to a T3 front differential. That's 233Nm, on a 5.43 ratio, and apparently it happily moves 1800kg at quite a pace. Eyeballing the T5 4motion drive train, I'm wondering if an Outlander rear unit is the ...
