First of all your 51% SoH could be too low if the battery calibration procedure wasn’t done on a regular basis. You could run a CAP2 procedure with a dongle and OBDZero app to verify the ‘true’ SoH. I haven't done CAP2 procedure. I'm tempted to do it, but part of the instructions are a little bit not clear for me: Please turn the car off and then plug in the charger. Let the app run but do not turn the car on. I thought I can use the ODB only when the car is on? Maybe I'll need to read more about this. I'll def try it! Secondly, new, affordable LEV50N cells are almost impossible to source ..read more

Found this from a link on the diy car site, the LEV50 used in our cars is close to the BEV-2 sized cells Here is a link to translate the article, https://e--cars-hu.translate.goog/2019/ ... r_pto=wapp Hello, Kenny, Thanks for that link, sounds like an optimistic information. The end of the article says: If you take a closer look at the table, the BEV2 size is almost exactly the size of the LEV50, but the minimum capacity is 60-66Ah. So I think that anyone who wants to change the cells in the trio is better off waiting a little while until the BEV2 size cells designed and manufactured for ..read more

Sounds like the coulomb counter needs calibrated. Has the pack been run down to 2 bars since replacing cells? Statistics: Posted by PV1 — Mon Dec 18, 2023 6:03 pm ..read more

Brin said "Cells are perfectly balanced from about 3,7 V and above. Differences are miniscule." What was the max and min cell voltages? How much are you calling miniscule? We would need some real voltage data for each cell out to 3 decimal place to determine what is acceptably small, e.g. 3.9 vs 3.905 Statistics: Posted by kiev — Mon Dec 18, 2023 6:01 pm ..read more

does the BMS require system be in READY ? vaguely recalled one of Ben's video stating the BMS showed SOC bar correctly, but can't find the link now and can't remember if iMiev was in READY. Also not sure if he had looped back the CAN comm line Statistics: Posted by pbui19 — Mon Dec 18, 2023 5:30 pm ..read more

Chemistry is practically the same, but I agree, there is probably some safety lockout of BMS. We will see. Statistics: Posted by brin — Mon Dec 18, 2023 3:26 pm ..read more

Alex, if what you write here in AI bot form is true, then why didn't the BMS throw up (pun intended) any DT codes? What BMS upgrades are you talking about--we don't know nuthin about no stinkin upgrades. How many of these crucial first step firmware upgrades have you personally done, and what year is your miev? Is it not true that you know absolutely nothing about that which you post? Statistics: Posted by kiev — Mon Dec 18, 2023 3:14 pm ..read more
