Re: [WIP] Xtreme Green UTV

Some contactors have 72V coils weirdly enough.
I also think that your cells need compression before putting any load on them.

Best of luck!

Re: [WIP] Mazda Mx5 (MK2)

Hi, could I ask an easy question...hopefully. I've also got a Passat battery, what's the voltage of each module? I need 48V modules so don't want to break it open unless the modules are 48V. Do you know? Love the build and the real-life timescale! To explain, i bought the battery for use with a Lea...

Looking for single 24kWh Leaf battery module [Ireland]

edit: got sorted by someone in Co. Cork :D

Trying to replace the one I lost on the motorbike. Should be ZE0 (2011/2012) with at least 50% SOH to match the other ones.
Ideally Ireland or NI to keep shipping reasonable /or arrange pick up.

Is there any interest in having a DIY EV conversion / OpenInverter stand next year there? I'd certainly bring the bike (again).

Re: [WIP] Upgrade a converted Citroën DS Electric

When I set the REVLIM at 1000 RPM, I push the throttle and the motor turns about 3000 RPM. Then I have to slow down the motor below he 1000 RPM before the motor reacts again on the throttle. If I set the REVLIM at 6000 the motor works normal. The next problem is that, when I set the THRORAMPRPM at ...

Sorry for the absence, getting into this again primarily to drive the OEM gauges. Higher voltage TVS diode (1,5KE20A, overkill but available) is now fitted so I can run 4S (16.8V). I also have the stuff mounted on cardboard to move it around and bought a second connector (search for "56 pin fem...

Re: Outlander VCU - Rear inverter, Charger and BMS

It looks like Outlander inverter has a power limiter! Not amp limiter, but power limiter. When i had 84S battery inverter would let 230A go through which at 320V means 73kW. In the video i show steady acceleration and max current draw of 192A at 360V which makes about 70kW power from Outlander RWD ...

Re: [WIP] 2006 Holden Rodeo Ute - Gen 2 Nissan Leaf

Have you tried sourcing the Lexus components from Japan?
IIRC somebody was importing a newer Outlander rear (with inverter bolted on) and it was reasonable shipping to the US and very cheap to buy but our standards. Just as couplers seem to be tricky.
