Re: [EVDL] Leaf battery pack connector

[Cruisin via EV]

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.

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

[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 conductors large enough to handle a 50A circuit with 40A
max continuous current?

I want to use the L6-30 for the connectors for the various plug
adapters for a portable EVSE I want to build but don't want to use a
different plug because I already have the adaptors from another EVSE.

Thanks,

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

[David Nelson via EV]

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 just send your portable EVSE to evseupgrade.exe and have
them modify it.

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

[John Lussmyer via EV]

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.

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

[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 Modesto we 
still have the old 220vac 20 amp circuit and we have to charge there.  We don't 
have the 3,3 kw Leaf anymore. I was skeptical that the EVSE can do this and I 
seem to be proved right even though my new Leaf's have both the 6.6 and 3.3 
charge cycles on the dash. Has anyone ever tried to plug their EVSE into a 20 
amp circuit with a 6.6kw EV?  .   Lawrence Rhodes

Re: [EVDL] Leaf BMS

[Cor van de Water via EV]

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.

Is there any place where this is discussed/shown ?

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

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.

Re: [EVDL] Leaf battery pack connector

[John Lussmyer via EV]

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.

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 240Ah and
nominal 22.2 V (6 x 3.7V), so about 5.3 kWh.
