across contactor at 100A High power demand under acceleration could indicate current leaking to the motor hull and messing up the car chassis ground (?)  Brush dust issues have kept me troubled too many times with weird problems. -Jukka to 3. syysk. 2020 klo 13.01 Matt via EV (ev@lists.evdl.org

[EVDL] Zilla 1141 error - 15mV drop across contactor at 100A

2020-09-03 Thread Matt via EV
Hi Brains Trust, I have a Z1k LV. My hairball gives me errors 1141 and 1124 when I try to accelerate in any gear (worst in 5th, and least bad in 1st) The manual tells me 1141 is contactor high resistance. my DMM measuring the voltage across the battery and controller inputs to the hairball puts

Both the miniBMS and the cell logs draw current from every cell continuously It’s only a few mA, but, given enough time it will take the whole battery to 0v, if not charged Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Alan Arrison via EV Sent: Monday, 17 August 2020 7:57 AM To: ev@lists.evdl.org Cc: Al

[EVDL] Iota DLS-55 on a 96v battery

2020-06-22 Thread Matt via EV
Hi All, I have a conversion that used to run a 144v battery (45 x TS 160AH cells). I have replaced the battery with a 96v nominal battery (32 x CALB CA 130Ah cells) and the DC-DC (IOTA DLS-55) seems to be low on output voltage, due to the input voltage being below 130vdc. I can boost the outpu

er from an abandoned project: 5V @ 240ma, they have conformal coating so reducing them to 5 cells instead of 6 would be difficult. However, I could run a couple diodes in series... June 2, 2020 10:02 AM, "Matt via EV" wrote: > What about no charge control, a solar panel whose

What about no charge control, a solar panel whose Voc is 4.5v (so only 5 series cells) and a schotkey diode to prevent back flow That would have the effect of limiting max voltage to ~4.2v, but at 4v only around 20% of Imp would flow (ie charge rate slows right down past 3.6v) How much power ar

There’s plenty available with export limiting, just about every manufacturer offers it They all involve installation of a meter (after the utility meter) to provide feedback to the GT https://www.ginverter.com.au/Export-Limitation-Solution.html There are heaps of installations here in Australi

It depends upon whether you are using a BMS that’s designed for a bicycle or small loads, that uses mosfets to connect/disconnect the load and charger Or whether you are using a BMS designed for a larger system (ZEVA, Orion, EVPower, miniBMS, etc) that uses contactors for switching load and char
