[EVDL] Curtis 1238-6501 State of Charge

2017-08-06 Thread Matthew Quitter via EV
Hi Guys, My 1238-6501 Curtis controller gives very different SOC % for similar voltages. For example I've recorded a pack voltage of 82.2 and had the Curtis show 22%, 31%, 43%. The pack is made up of 25 Thundersky 160Ah batteries. It's getting worse too. Now I'm getting the charger turning off

I agree. Voltage on LFP cells is useless for determining the SOC. The voltage is very constant except at near 100% SOC and at 0% SOC. You really need information about the middle, and voltage doesn't give any clue about that. You need to count the amp-hours, like with an E-meter or a Cycle-Anal

Thanks guys... but if the charger is turning off at a fixed voltage how do I get more power into the pack? > On 7 Aug 2017, at 05:02, Bill Dube via EV wrote: > > I agree. Voltage on LFP cells is useless for determining the SOC. > The voltage is very constant except at near 100% SOC and at 0% S
