Re: [EVDL] Leaf battery pack connector

John, all I know is what is on places like Car-Part.com. Volt packs (16kWh) seem to go for around $1500 - $1800 there, and are much more plentiful than Leaf packs. A few have offered Tesla modules for sale on endless sphere and diyelectriccar for around $1200 per module. A module being about

Great! Availability is up, and pricing is down in the past few years - which is wonderful news! As I said, I converted my truck almost 3 years ago, when other packs were harder to find, and more expensive. On Sat Dec 24 08:18:24 PST 2016 ev@lists.evdl.org said: >John, all I know is what is on

You might like to run heavy gauge wire to the bucket and the thinner resistance wire entirely in the water. The insulated wire may melt outside the water. John Lindsay > On 24 Dec 2016, at 5:20 pm, Lee Hart via EV wrote: > > With this type of load, remember that the rod or

John, Inside my head, like lots of other ideas ;) Since there are others interested in using the LEAF BMS for lower voltage, i consider laying out a poststamp circuit to add to the BMS PCB to add an opto-coupler and allow aliasing all BMS inputs to less cells. Cor > On Dec 24, 2016, at 5:00

Re: [EVDL] J1772 might not go to a low level but just trip breaker.

2016-12-24 Thread Lawrence Rhodes via EV
Is there any way I can tell the Leaf to only draw 20 amps? The EVSE is certainly not doing it.  Remember I am using an EVSE designed for the Ford Th!nk. Avcon standard which is supposed to be the same a J1772.   It has worked well with both the 3.3kw Leaf and the 6.6kw Leaf.  The problem is in

Those Volt modules you bought from a junkie are of old technology and lower AH than the newer Brand New Volt modules you can buy on Ebay at the same price. -- View this message in context:

Lawrence, I purchased an evseupgrade.com Leaf (Panasonic) portable EVSE that was modified to work on 240V. I can program it in 1A increments from 6A to 20A. My 2016 Soul EV+ has no problem following the EVSE current requests. I agree with John, your EVSE is the problem not the Leaf. You could

Ahh, you are using a EVSE that is built for a 40A circuit, on a 20A circuit. It's up to the EVSE to tell the car how much current it may draw. The EVSE assumes it can draw the full 32A it's rated for. You need a different EVSE, or a different circuit. On Sat Dec 24 21:57:55 PST 2016

[EVDL] Actual current carrying ability of NEMA L6-30

2016-12-24 Thread David Nelson via EV
Please note that I am not asking about electrical code here! I know what the code says. What is the actual sustained current carrying ability of the NEMA L6-30 plug/sockets? Just like a NEMA 5-15 can handle 20A (16A sustained) since the pins are physically the same as on a NEMA 5-20 are the L6-30
