Re: Toyota MGR Rear Traction Transaxle

I've come across a very cheap one of these and I was wondering how easy it might be to modify the body to remove the diff. Has anyone opened one of these up? Looking at the pics it's difficult to tell but I'd be interested to know if it's possible to separate the motor from the diff and make it muc...

Re: VW Mild Hybrid Starter Alternator

I have a project that I'd like to use this for but it seems that the availability of the motors has dried up. Anyone else experienced that?

I have a friend that has a car that I believe has this on. I will try to get it for a weekend and capture more can logs.

so one thing we notice is that when we crank this unit to the max on the amp dials (coarse and fine) it actually goes a bit above 5 amps
So the efficiency of your PSU is a little over 50%? 110v 5A in ~60V 5A out.

Re: VW eGolf hardware

I decided to unwrap the wiring harness last night and it's a good job that I did, two lessons: - it's impossible to tell which connector goes to which string looking at it visually. There is not much sense to it, connectors that are right next to each other are often from a string far away. You eith...

Re: VW eGolf hardware

Amount x 4S/2S module sets starting from the slave BMS 4S module. 3x444 2x442 1x422 1x4422 1x42222 This is great information, thank you! Are the BMS boards different? What I'm asking is whether I could have all the BMS modules be 444? so 12S8P? I do have another pack that I could scour the dumb mod...

Re: VW eGolf hardware

Will not work, if you change the cells connected to the Slaves it will not work. So for an E-Golf as long as you keep the modules "complete" you can wire them up in any way you want as they are isolated. However there are quite some unique quirks to the packs so watch out. I'm a bit confu...

Re: VW eGolf hardware

Ignore me, going to read the manual then wire up and report my results. So what I mean is this: SimpBMS 16S.png I would arrange the modules into 16S blocks (my charger goes to 64V and I can have 4.0V per module with 16S so that is fine me thinks). But happy to do 14S or 12S which would allow me to u...

This may be a stupid question but I'm wondering whether there is a chance I could still use SimpBMS if I would reconfigure the pack to be 16S 48V say 5P? I have 2 (almost) complete packs and a SimpBMS and a need for the capacity as ESS, but my house system is 48V. It's a pita to find a good alternat...

Re: Zero Grid Export and Reading energy meter with ESP

I would also be mindful that some meters count exported energy as energy used and it will be added to your bill instead of just lost.
