Re: [EVDL] Leaf battery pack connector

Hi John, Indeed, the round connector on the front of the Leaf battery pack has a different mechanical layout and different size pins and spacing, but the same pin numbers are wired and the assignment is identical. What I was talking about the internal wiring is the 98 sense wires from the 96 modul

Re: [EVDL] Leaf BMS

John, The BMS will autonomously balance cells with just 12V connected, provided that all 96 cell inputs are powered. There are essentially two tricks to use a shorter battery and still have the BMS do its balancing trick with only minimal extra circuitry and work, there is a third way but that ess

Bruce, The Nabble post about the head-on collision of Tesla Model S with Soviet-era crane truck has an error in the link (and extra 'l' at the end of the link, which causes Electrek website to be upset and show a different article. Here is the corrected link: https://electrek.co/2016/12/19/tesla-

Re: [EVDL] Sequence of Events contactors

The heater is on high voltage, so it has its own (small) contactor. To avoid the software glitch that accidentally continues to power the heater, which causes the pre-charge resistor to blow, there are two ways to avoid this fatal flaw: - add a small circuit in the pre-heater contactor coil loop, s

During commute times, almost every 5th car that you see on the road in Silicon Valley is a Leaf so I'd say that for intended purpose, this is a very successful OEM car. Cor van de Water Chief Scientist Proxim Wireless office +1 408 383 7626Skype: cor_van_de_water XoIP

Re: [EVDL] EV Start Up

Robert, (1+2) All factory EVs and conversions that I have seen have an ACC key position. This position typically does the same as in an ICE: it does not power up the drivetrain, it only enables some 12V loads such as radio, lights and cig lighter to name a few, but the aux battery is not charged an

or have a shutdown temperature setting. Since the auxiliary battery is still operational, a fault light could illuminate. Does an EV have two lights and does it prioritize malfunctions? ________ From: EV on behalf of Cor van de Water via EV Sent: Thursday, December

Re: [EVDL] EV Start Up

Peri, I have checked my (2011) Leaf with LeafSpy when in Acc mode and it does not charge the aux battery, I saw the aux battery voltage declining (and a current out of the battery). As soon as the car is started *or* the car is charging, then the aux battery is being maintained by the DC/DC convert

Re: [EVDL] Fwd: EV diy Charge Controller - with Display!

Do you also get a building permit when you buy a new toaster oven? There is no such thing as a building permit or even a required UL certificate for an appliance. So, if you simply plug the EVSE into an outlet (not hardwire it) then you are fine building it yourself and using it, if you don't agree

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

Lawrence, Did you actually verify the duty cycle on the pilot before concluding that it is the Leaf's fault? It is possible that the pilot is not correct and allows the Leaf to draw too much current, so the EVSE might be at fault, not the Leaf? If this were a problem, every single person who modi

Re: [EVDL] Schneeveis battery load (was: Testing Leaf Modules)

The simple way to make a clamp and not needing to machine anything is to use a copper strip (cut from a sheet of copper or a thin bus bar) that you can wrap around the pipe and only one bolt is needed to make this into a clamp that always fits. Cor van de Water Chief Scientist Proxim Wireless

Re: [EVDL] Leaf BMS

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 PM,

David, I have not much experience with L6-30 connectors and whether its contacts are same or different than a 50 Amp version (which you really need to sustain 40A continuous). The NEMA 14-30 and 14-50 (the flat blade clothes dryer and RV plugs) are often identical, you can get a plug that has two d
