Sure Eric. I used a 12V power inverter and some lightbulbs. I hooked the inverter up to a set of 4 cells in series to make a 12V battery. I then...
I finished load testing the cells last night. They all have reduced capacity and the highest cells are around 60% capacity. I sent this info to...
I got my parts the other night and decided to build my version of TheForce's arduino temp hack. I'm using a RBBB (really bare bones board) from...
Quick update here. I got some of the cells to take a charge. I've load tested half of them and none of them are showing very good capacity though.
I got a replay from enginer. He wanted me to try and charge a 12V set of batteries with a lead acid charger to make sure they're dead. I had to...
Hello everyone. I am bringing this thread back from the dead because I am working on the PHEV kit again. I am very confident if I would have gone...
Well thats good to know. I do have certain cells going above 4.0V for a fair amount of time. What is the balancer supposed to shut off at? As a...
Hi Dan. :)
I was going to modify the 8 cell balancers to make an automatic charger shutoff. There are ring terminal connectors that you screw on to the...
I got everything back together and took it for a spin today. ~4 miles, 0 gas, me -> :D Now, I just need to monitor the charging cycle to make...
I picked up a new cable last night. I was going to get a crimping cool and connectors, but they were out of the connectors. The tool was also...
Apparently when I had the kit out of the car, there was enough moisture to cause a corrosion problem.
I'm familiar with crossover and straight cables. Thanks for the info Dan.
A normal telephone cable only uses 4 pins, this is a 6 pin wire?
This past weekend I put the PHEV kit back in the car. I plugged it in to charge (it had been sitting for a while) and I left it. When I came...
Well, the same thing happened again to my wife yesterday. She drove the car home this time and its sitting in the driveway doing the same thing...
FYI still no updates on this. Too many other projects.
I took the car for a couple drives this weekend, some short some long, no problems at all. I will check the brake lights. Is the switch...
I agree. However, is the code stored so I could bring it into the dealer and have it read? Or, did disconnecting the 12v wipe the code out...
Believe it or not that actually worked. I had to mash the brake pedal quite a bit harder than normal, but it started consistently a few times....
