Bear in mind that calculating mileage improvement as (mpg2-mpg1)/mpg1 is kind of misleading. For example in the case of 65.1mpg vs. 78mpg, you...
Balancing all 16 would certainly be preferable, but 8 is probably still pretty good. You can generally think of each battery as part of a random...
You're right on here I believe. The filtering elements like capacitors keep the changes slow enough that the regulators can keep up, and keep the...
BTW, what your c code basically describes is the feedback loop of a regulator. In hardware this is most often done in an analog fashion with an...
This is completely a guess, but I would imagine that the converter functions more like a current limited voltage source. A lot of regulated...
That sounds about right. To say it another way, a coulomb counter computes the integral of current, with respect to time or the area under the...
Voltmeters are designed with very high internal resistances, usually on the order of 1Mohm. As long as the impedance of the circuit under test is...
I would highly encourage anyone considering PHEV or BEV to look at adding solar. For example, here is the situation here in AZ: Mile per Year:...
Add me to the list of people that decided on a Prius after researching BEV conversion options. Some people call PHEVs a temporary solution, or...
If I could add my 2c, I think the BMS+ design is much more mature than the enginer kit. Norm has been involved in the cal-cars PHEV stuff since...
I'm sorry I haven't had time to keep up with this thread, its great to see so much happening on this front. It sounds like the kit may have some...
FYI This thread is about a year old. Even when it was current a number of people had issues getting anyone to respond, and those that did weren't...
Thanks very much for the write up! Nice results, and a great job putting the whole thing together!
Based on info here, it looks like scan gauge can monitor SOC, HV Volts, and HV Amps. http://www.scangauge.com/support/pdfs/XGAUGE.pdf
One of the frequent criticisms by PHEV/EV naysayers, is that MPG on a PHEV is meaningless. They claim that all you are doing is trading one...
Thats awesome Force! Congrats and thanks for sharing! In light of some of the negative press lately on PHEVs, its critical that there are people...
I haven't seen the install pdf yet, anyone have a link? The link at EAA PHEV didn't seem to be working for me earlier.... I do believe that some...
A few more thoughts after finding the ebay ad: - it does appear that they have some sort of BMS as they claim battery balancing. That should be...
As I recall the DTC problem occurs if you _do_ put the supplemental pack current through the hall effect sensor. This was tried initially, as it...
