Re: E Golf Battery pack

Thanks - your videos are actually some of the first I came across on YouTube when I started looking into my project! So, I'm estimating about 550 to 600 mm for the short (green) length, and 1420 to 1470 mm for the long (blue) length. The latter dimension is going to make it too long for all but the ...

Re: E Golf Battery pack

I hope this is a good thread to post this request rather than start a new one. I am planning to remove a pack from an e-Golf (which I don't have yet) like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVJpy6n05ss I'm trying to figure out what size table top on a scissor table I would need to do thi...

Re: MIG Welder power 230V 16A

My basic inverter used for arc welding does stick itself to the workpiece from time to time, but then I don't weld regularly enough to get highly skilled with it. One of the benefits is that it is very compact and easy to store / lug around, though I've also seen compact, flux-core MIG machines whic...

Re: e-Golf battery upgrade: How does an EV know the size of battery it has installed?

Thanks - yes, I definitely see VCDS in my future! Can VCDS extract the XML dataset you refer to, or is there another tool for that? ODIS perhaps? I will look to get access to both e-Golf models once I know how to extract datasets, or perhaps someone here will already have them and can share. Have a ...

Re: MIG Welder power 230V 16A

Not MIG, but I've run an Arc/TIG inverter off a standard UK socket for short periods successfully. That was a max 130A unit with an input max of 18.3A, and good up to about a 3mm rod. I've mainly had the output cranked up to about a max of 80-90A for stick welding 25mm box sections without issues, t...

e-Golf battery upgrade: How does an EV know the size of battery it has installed?

Hello - I'm new to this forum - hoping to learn and give back findings from my work. For me, the VW Golf 7 is the perfect small car. The e-Golf improves on that, save for the relatively short range by modern standards. I've developed a new obsession with the concept of upgrading the capacity of the ...
