Interesting. I could program the arduino to watch for situations such as these. Say, the alarm must beep 5 times before it cuts power to the...
Well, I may or may not complete this project if Jack comes out with the new balancer that controls the dc to dc and charger. In any case, there...
That is great news! IMO this should take care of the #1 problem with the kit (if it works well).
Well, I threw the car back on the charger this morning. I watched the killawatt for the first few minutes. The wattage the charger was pulling...
Good info Dan. Thanks for reporting.
nothing! :)
By the time I had it apart (the wife actually uses the Prius as a work vehicle and hauls stuff with it) the voltage had settled. You really can...
I agree the clamp meter would be easier to use for charging, but I was actually replying to MJFrog's question about monitoring it while driving....
Something like this would probably work just fine. digital ammeter and shunt
A 100A ammeter and shunt. Unfortunately I don't have one on hand. I'll ask the guys in the EV club if anyone has a spare laying around.
I ordered the VOX circuit this morning. The current plan is to just deal with charging. This seems to be the area where we are having most of...
Well, I used the pack more yesterday, more like 40 miles total (to and from work). Mileage was hard to tell since roads were snowy and people...
You are reading the actual experience of Enginer kit users. I'd take it as customary. If someone has a kit that is working flawlessly please...
Can someone verify the dc to dc converter output voltage for me?
True, that is a possible problem. You might have to hit a reset switch to get the pack to reconnect. Or, the sensitivity of course could be...
I've started talking to a robotics guy I know from the local EV club about how we can use the balancer's warning to trigger some sort of pack...
Oh yes, I should also mention I still have the charger cutoff voltage turned down. The peak voltage I saw tonight before the charger cut out was...
Ben also put the last video together. It briefly goes over the wiring up front. I see he didn't edit out my double take on the ecu wiring. Oh...
I am now home and the car is already off the charger. The killawatt shows that it only took .22 kWh to recharge the pack. Sounds like I'm not...
Great to hear. I've also heard great things about the energy saver tires. Come summer time I think I'm going to swap my summer tires out for the...
