Re: Info on BMW hybrid battery packs?

Thank you for the reply sprocketman - I knew the published pack voltage, but not the upper and lower limits. Yes - have already tried Tom's modified SimpBMS on a Teensy: need to look at that in more detail on how to use it with the Tesla Mk2 charger, but at least it showed the pack I'd bought off e...

Re: Info on BMW hybrid battery packs?

I am not sure if I am collecting all the can messages as there are a few errors. I might try the other can bus and see if there are different messages on that one.
I am using an arduino to collect this info. I couldn't get savvy cam to work
Do you have any tips.

Re: Info on BMW hybrid battery packs?

Hi sprocketman, I'd not suggest connecting 8 modules to the voltage measurement connector of the S-Box (three thin orange wires), that will probably exceed its capabilities significantly! No problem with the current sensor on its own up to the capabilities of the module I expect. There are lots of ...

Re: Info on BMW hybrid battery packs?

Hi, Has anyone worked out a schematic for the sbox pcb? I have made a little progress, if you send frame 0x300 with the first byte set to 0x9f (rest of bytes to 0xFF) it will turn "ON" the small blue relay on the PCB. It makes a very quiet, but nice noise.... (sending 0x5F turns it back &...

Re: Info on BMW hybrid battery packs?

pilt, thanks, I will certainly look at the additional 12V line. I think we will need CRCs understood to get it to respond to inputs like Tom reverse engineered for the modules. I'm not assuming that is possible unless we have logs on this can line in a working vehicle, which will be a challenge I g...

Re: Info on BMW hybrid battery packs?

Hi, yes, it is absolutely possible to use the S-Box in its original form to output current and voltage. I've spent quite some time reverse engineering the CAN messages up to about 300V and about 50A so far. I will dig out where I've got to and share. I'd really appreciate some sharing of real in-ve...

Hi Tom,

Is it possible to read more than 6 modules? I connected 11 (I need to make new cable for 12). It reads 11 modules but only displays voltages for 6?

Thanks again

Re: Info on BMW hybrid battery packs?

I have used that set up with 10 units in series for a short period without any problems. However it is over the voltage rating of the components so probably not good for a permanent installation.
