So I had to jinx it by saying how great everything was running. Driving home Monday evening there was vibration under acceleration. Closer to home that turned into a clunking noise on accelerating or regen. Upon inspection I found the motor torque rod had broken free, it was dark so I assumed my sho...

What's the cost of the laser cutting of the box out of curiosity? I think it was about £110. For the the box, plus 5 thicker base places for each layer of modules. I bundled it in with a larger order with work so I think that knocked the price down a bit. I looked at laser cutting the busbars but t...

Another year and Adrian Flux wanted £690 for the renewal (5,000 miles millage) for the MGF. Did some shopping around, phoned Performance Direct who had a look into it and decided they didn't want to insure conversions. Tried Keith Michaels via the usual number and was told they didn't cover EV conve...

With other jobs out of the way it's time to start on the winter projets. For the Leyland this means installing the new batteries. Old pack removed and new box thrown in to check dimensions. The good news is that it will fit and there is plenty of room to spare above, so I can get to work on some mou...

I've done quite a few thousands of miles with Zombieverter and from my experience being able to change gear with the throttle pressed isn't really an issue. In low speed maneuvering I will quite often change gear/direction while still slowly moving, the Nissan Leaf allows this behaviour as well. Hav...

Last time I had the top down this year in comfort. Taken while dropping off some spare parts to a broken down baler during the final bit of hay making we got to do this year. PXL_20240919_141535604.jpg MGF - Zombie. Outlander Rear Motor, inverter, charger. 12kWh BMW hybrid battery. Build thread: htt...

Update: Modules are in better SoH than I first thought. BMS setup error in the vehicle it came from was triggering low battery limits far too early.
Can sell modules for separately £50 each.

In the SW UK, can't really ship unfortunately.

hi there ive also just brought the same pack... as per the thread ive got it spiting out can codes and can work out soc, voltages,temps etc but would like to know (if it is in fact known) the balancing of pack whever its auto or a can instruction and can code to close /open the contactors? it will ...

Another MOT passed last week. A couple bits of work but nothing too major, a front wheel bearing and CV boot. It's covering allot of miles though so wear and tear is to be expected. It's been much more reliable than the backup ICE vehicle we have, which in the space of a few months and a few hundred...

Jacobsmess has been busy digging around the internet and has found a ton of information that will be useful here. Firstly attached is a DBC file, it's named for the charger but actually it contains the whole StreetScooter vehicle can data. The charger is quite basic to control as I suspected/hoped i...

I've been working on the current sensing and SoC messages this weekend. I'm planning to use it bare bones on my new tractor battery, just have it spitting out voltages, temperatures and ideally current so I can replace the Isa shunt since it seems a shame to not use this one. ID 0x125 SoC: byte 0, 0...

The issue will be less with the GS450H and more with the other HV components. While they will happy with the standard 96s-108s or so you will start getting issues with chargers and DC-DCs if you increase the voltage too much. So if you upped your voltage with a 3rd pack in series at a later date you...

This video should help.

I noticed you have additional data underneath your CAN data bits. Is this due to you having a dbc file that corresponds?. I've tried a few dbc for the single 3,6kw charger, but I don't get as much info.. I'm using one of the DBC files from here. Couldn't tell you which one from the top of my head t...

Finally got the battery box parts back from laser cutting and folded up last week. Today I found some time to weld it all together and it turned out pretty well. Made some design changes from my last post and brought the top layer in a little bit, this way the connectors shouldn't stick out the back...

Got the chassis back from paint over the weekend, then sprayed it full of Lanoguard and hung it up out of the way. This project will be taking a slight pause on the chassis build up front at least. Currently have a seperate battery swap project ongoing for someone else, then I'm planning to put in t...

idcmin and max are current limits. Ideally you would set them in line with the max current you want to draw from your battery and the maximum amount of current put back into it under regen. Hitting IDCmax will result in derats which is pretty noticeable at full throttle, but it's there for a reason ...

I've got a similar thing on another GS450H project. It's a pretty light car which I think makes it worse. Although for me it's only around the regenendrpm that it shakes and I don't need to cycle anything to stop it. To get around it I have an arduino that can maps regenendrpm so we never actually g...

I have 24 modules from a 30kWh leaf battery pack for sale in the UK. Last recorded charge gave 18.7kWh from the wall charger so they are a little bit degraded. Edit: Upon further research on the original vehicle these came from, it would seem there was a design flaw in the BMS setup artificially lim...

Have you tried any of Doms logs?

Done a bit more CAD work as well. Adaptor to go from GS450H box to the transfer box is mostly designed. Need to decide if I am going to keep the rubber donut or not. If I use it then I might not have enough space for the battery box with ID3/4 modules in the front. At least not without a redesign of...

Whatever the powder coating guy uses.Then lanoguard on the insides. I'll possibly also go over it with raptor coating, haven't decided yet.

Thanks, I've made those changes so I'll try and flash the new firmware tomorrow. However since I have coded the lock motor out of the charger I may need to remove it to code that back in. In which case it might take a bit longer for me to remove the charger for coding. I'll see what happens tomorrow...

Ben Figured I'd reply for the charge lock signals here, Look at the signals within ZV_01 and ZV_02 In addition, I think your cut down code is based off of a 'oops' file I uploaded where somehow I wrote the if statements using single = signs... or else a replace all got me. But the brain fart is mos...

For the larger chargers, I sent the central locking statuses to mimic the car being unlocked, that seemed to clear whatever was causing the lock to latch in the locked state, afterwards the system would unlock the cable whenever a charge was ended. Slightly off topic, but what is the message ID(s?)...
