Thanks for sharing this control info.
I implemented it in our LIN to CAN gateway and it works like a charm.
One finding from my end (relevant for EV Conversions): It self regulates when it reaches about 50 degrees.
So perfect and safe and sufficient for a battery heater (yet not suitable as an ...

Re: Simp BMS
why now?
I'm not 100% sure but my theory is:
They share the same 5V rail and due to slight voltage differences in the 5V USB voltage and the Teensy 5V regulator voltage, weird currents can occur. If the USB voltage is slightly lower the Teensy will try to 'charge' the laptop but that port is not ...

Re: Simp BMS
Myself I think this as “as per Teensy design”.
Hence the note on the Teensy card
Years ago I learned it the hard way with my Teensy 3.6.
Not sure what exactly is happening if you don’t cut the trace but high current from the laptop for sure.

Re: Simp BMS
That is a Teensy thing.
Sorry to hear that happened.
You either need to cut the Vin trace on a Teensy or use a modified USB cable.

Maybe a long shot but worth a try.
I'm looking for the outside and inside piece and bolts of the header on the Tesla Model 3 battery that accepts the HV cable for the motor.
Here is a screenshot of the outside part

That is a UP28 which is a supporting pump and not powerful enough to be used as a stand alone pump.

A boat is a different game compared to a car.
In a car at some point you will start reducing throttle because you go fast enough already and get scared.
In a boat you can (and even need to) apply (full) throttle to retain your speed. Thus there is a higher current for a longer period of time. This ...

Re: Nissan Leaf Stack not getting revs underload
Likely because the Zombiverter is better at trying to protect your cells.
In the Leaf demo you are seeing a serious undervoltage error of 2,7V.

Since the lowest voltage before load was around 3,6V this indicates the pack is really shitty. Allowing the cells to go down that low ...

Re: Nissan Leaf Stack not getting revs underload
Your truth, but... The Leaf system is running smoothly.
Smoothly?
A 400+ mV delta does sound like a weak pack or at least weak cell to me.
Delta 453 mV.png
But if you are seeing a voltage sag of 80V at 300V that is not good.
Then you are allowing the inverter to draw way to much current.
So ...
