    Charging while driving

    I finished building my first prototype for a portable charger. 3.3Kw, works with no problem. I only have one battery pack (7 cells), but I have enough to do 7 packs (49 cells total). Each one with its own BMS. Total cost: $3k

    Extra Battery, How to Integrate with 24kWh Traction Battery?

    I was thinking of getting the wire loose and putting the battery forward. I think I have enough reach, otherwise, I'll just drop the other battery and raise this one up for a few hours. Once I reconnect the original battery, the error code should disapear, right?

    Extra Battery, How to Integrate with 24kWh Traction Battery?

    Thanks. I am going to hookup right out of the battery. I don't know yet how I will address the 285 GIDs issue, but I will be happy to have that problem. Right now my car (a first gen 2011 US version with 27K miles) has 190 GIDs. Battery degradation is around 67%. The battery I bought should be...

    Extra Battery, How to Integrate with 24kWh Traction Battery?

    Got it. A mosfet or a triac circuit driving the load of the contactors drawing the power from the battery upon receiving the signal from the vmc comming from the control cables. Anybody has one already used in this application I can copy? Otherwise I can just do a generic one.

    Extra Battery, How to Integrate with 24kWh Traction Battery?

    So, if I understand this correctly, I can just splice from the main battery (I think pin 11, 14, 17 and ground or some close that I will verify), and connect the high power leads, and again in principle, it should work, right? I know, I still need to read the BMS for important errors and put a...

    Sorry, pick the wrong one. Saw the 300v type instead of rated voltage. Problems of growing old and not having the glasses nearby the phone. I'll try again...

    Extra Battery, How to Integrate with 24kWh Traction Battery?

    THANK YOU! It is greatly appreciated! I got a fully assembled Leaf 24KW battery comming, and I am planning to get this hooked up and running as soon as I get everything. Eventually I will get the Mux board and get the right GOM. Once again, Thnaks!

    OK Mux, I just bought a used Leaf battery (I decided that the best chimestry to use would be the same that I already have). I just need one of your boards. We are ready to burn electricity!!!!!!

    I was assuming that the Mux device would address the turtle mode. As far as the battery, what do you recommend?

    Extra Battery, How to Integrate with 24kWh Traction Battery?

    Got it, thanks. What batteries do you recommend? I could use the wiring diagram if you have it handy I’ll see if I get you the part number for the resettable fuse. If I recall, it was 250 amps

    Charging while driving

    Got it. Thanks. If it has to interact with the BMS and can’t multitask, the question is answered. Maybe adding another charger...

    Extra Battery, How to Integrate with 24kWh Traction Battery?

    Thanks for the answer. I want one. If I understand correctly, I just need: 1) Batteries to produce 384V nominal (for me, 8 sets of 48V nominal LifoPo4 with their own BMS, in series) 2) Connection to the power cables out of the battery to parallel the new pack (with a nice reseteable fuse in the...

    Anybody with experience with the software that controlls the charger?

    Charging while driving

    People, let's stay on topic. Can we charge while driving? Forget about the why or if it is right for you or not. Can we feed the 1772 port while the car is been driven?

    Charging while driving

    Well, If you want to use a generator, I got 4 different inverter gensets. The Honda would be too slow. The Brigs and Stanton 5kw 240v costs the same and can charge at 3.3kw. Same noise level, comparable fuel consumption per kw produced. I still believe batteries in the trunk with an inverted...

    Charging while driving

    I know, I know, but before you start with they "not again", hear me out. I can get 10kw or 20kw in the trunk and run a 240v inverter. I can run a cable with a granny charger to the front and splice the wires in the 1772 plug feeding the charger. This way, I don't mess with the batteries, and...

    Extra Battery, How to Integrate with 24kWh Traction Battery?

    Hi Mux. Any chance we can buy yet (US customers)? Just the boards and the instructions. I would be willing to sign you off any liability (If I didn't die when I had my V8 town car running for 2 years with my home made hydrogen cell, 400V are not going to kill me😁). Me personally, I am not...
