Re: Switched ADC BMS
Hey Johu, any recommendations on a suitable wire-to-board connector for the 17pincell tap connection? I've looked on JLCPCB and LCSC but neither seem to have something suitable to my inexperienced eyes. what is the max voltage rating required? do they need to be 400V rated or not? failing a wire-to-...

Re: [ WIP ]Bmw e39 + GS450h
Red to W, white to V black to U.
Do you have the controller wired correctly also?
1 blue
2 green
3 yellow
4 red
5 black
Then the big connector on the controller needs the black PWM wire to the zombie and 12V with the controller body being grounded.

Re: Parameters database down
I might be wrong here but I think the prams database is a local thing to you rather than on a server elsewhere. If it's not working, it will be something local to your setup.
I'm wrong.

Re: Nissan Leaf BMS
A question, will the BMS report voltage for just 1 cell for testing purposes? It would be nice to have it setup spitting out CAN and then connect cells one by one and see the voltages show up on leaf spy.

Re: Nissan Leaf BMS
The BMS cannot limit anything, it only measures voltage and current and it will balance the cells 24/7 as long as it receives +12V on pin 5 (BAT) of the round connector, which is wired to pin 12 of the LB11 connector. Also, all 96 pairs of cells need to be plugged in obviously. The BMS will only co...

Re: Nissan Leaf BMS
Ok, so anyone got a TLDR; for how to use the leaf BMS from a 40kWh pack? One arrived today, I suspect I'm going to have to do some digging. I've read a lot so far but nothing super conclusive for my tired brain. Can I just hook up 12V, Gnd, CanH and CanL and get data via a Bluetooth dongle and leafs...

Re: [WIP] Mercedes 310E (310D campervan) - GS450H/GS300H
Thanks, I think for the leaf BMS it needs to be broken at cell 48 for reasons I don't understand but also to avoid 'popping'. The single/double battery box (with a solid corridor above the prop) might be a good idea actually. It would protect all the cabling, keep the number of input and output conn...

Re: [WIP] Mercedes 310E (310D campervan) - GS450H/GS300H
You need to figure out which are the supply voltage pins, e.g. with a 50 mA current limited 5V supply. When a third pins spits out around 2.5V you've nailed it. Is this likely applicable to both sensors or just the LEM hall effect one? From the data sheet the LEM one is only suitable for 300V so no...

Re: [WIP] Mercedes 310E (310D campervan) - GS450H/GS300H
On another note, current sensors. Are they easy to reverse engineer? I've got my hands on 3, one from the Lexus UX300E pack and another 2 from a random contactor setup I bought for cheap one of which is a low voltage LEM one. I don't know the parameters for any of them but it'd be nice if I could re...

Re: [WIP] Mercedes 310E (310D campervan) - GS450H/GS300H
Oh and in addition, whilst perusing the lexus UX300E wiring diagram I noticed the safety service disconnect in the pack doesn't break the pack in two and instead just breaks the positive or negative (I can't remember which), which I found surprising. Anyway, if I can manage to mount the disconnect I...

Re: [WIP] Mercedes 310E (310D campervan) - GS450H/GS300H
So, whilst waiting on the 40kWh leaf BMS to turn up (that may not work due to split battery boxes and needing to extend cell tap lengths....) I've finally committed to a battery box design. I've got for a mirrored pair either side of the prop shaft. To do this I can keep all the battery modules as t...

good news that things are all running smoothly! Acouple of Qs, people always talk about EVs cant tow, which you're obviously proving wrong, how does it effect the range?

Re: [WIP] Mercedes 310E (310D campervan) - GS450H/GS300H
So having abandoned killed the Lexus BMS I'm looking at the leaf BMS. As I understand the 24kWh, 30kWh and 40kWh BMS use the same Comms but the 40kWh can be a little finicky with regards to its existing wiring.... So it's really good news that I picked up a 40kWh BMS and a bunch of associated cablin...

Re: [WIP] Mercedes 310E (310D campervan) - GS450H/GS300H
If the diodes fail, it means they are outside of their design operational window. Thus any other components on those sense lines will be hit hard by what ever voltage caused that failure. She if fubar, you never gotten it reverse engineered to a point where you understood what it was saying. So thi...
