Got rear ended a few weeks ago. Guy was going maybe 10. Got out and looked, a couple tiny dots where the bolts of his front license plate...
Never got an answer to this. I know that the BMS will rate the capacity of the pack at the lowest block. But if you have a known good module, and...
No offense, but those welds are atrocious. Are you even doing any surface prep? You should be going down to bare steel wherever you weld, and a...
You are doing way, way, way, way more than is needed, and wasting time as a result. This step does not even make sense, are we discharging at...
Alftoy, I tried to PM you, but it won't let me.
You...did discharge at under 650MAh right? You run a high chance of polarity reversal if you discharge above that.
BU-807: How to Restore Nickel-based Batteries - Battery University . Yes, the US army tests are for NiCd batteries, but NiMH batteries are of...
It's been interesting reading this, but I'm still waiting on some others to chime in as it seems the forum is split between discharging only to 6...
Been working on filling stress cracks I found today. Going to sand down the epoxy and put a little red paint on it. I also re-did the spare tire...
I'm curious as to why you only discharged to 5.9 volts. I was a bit paranoid and cautious at first, but found as long as you use a low current,...
Welp, back to the drawing board yet again. I accidentally reversed polarity on the discharger, and instead of blowing the fuse on it like it was...
Found a way to kind of speed things up, as long as I'm not busy and can babysit. I notice modules start to slightly swell above 8.75 volts when...
I had made that error initially but have stopped charging the modules together. But honestly I don't see how it makes much of a difference when...
Did your charger automatically end? I had the blower from the Prius itself blowing on the modules and they still slightly swelled. Since the...
The modules are bolted and clamped in the factory setup. When I mean swelling, you can visibly see gaps between the modules that increase in...
I'm really curious how in the heck he is charging at a 2A rate, because once the batteries hit about 8.6V, they start to slightly swell at any...
Well the 1st module I drained down to 3 volts is done. On the first discharge cycle down to 6 volts it came back at 2580MAh, now after two more...
Freaking wonderful, I'm going to have to repeat some tests. I noticed a few modules were completing discharges awfully early. When one I fully...
I know batteries discharge naturally over time, I'm just not sure at what rate. But I was also reading about form charging which overcharges the...
So this is why swelling occurs when going over about half an amp?
