I am game! I have a 2012 I-MiEV that does about 30 miles. I bought some Samsung SDI cells that are 94Ah original batteries were 50Ah. They are just slightly taller than the Yuasa batteries used originally so I believe they will fit with no mods. I had one before that had the battery replaced by Mitsubishi and the mechanic had to use a programming tool before the battery would recognize the new capacity. So I’m going to try and hack the BMU myself for it to allow more capacity. I figure it will do 130 miles per charge when finished. Maybe I should start a thread on this!

The EVDL has been around for over 30 years now. Even as recently as 2008- 10, we were all about conversions. Posts flew by on motor brush advance, Lovejoy couplers, adapter plates, controllers, battery temps, charger efficiency and isolation, cooling, heating, BMSes, suspension tweaks, belly pans, power steering drives, brake vacuum, front wheel toe, tire inflation pressures, rolling resistance, disk brake drag ... on and on and on. Who can forget the debates over clutch vs clutchless, flooded vs AGM, AC vs DC? We were literally designing EVs here, one at a time. Now it's 2022. We've had 12 years of the Mitsubishi Imiev*, 11 years of the Nissan Leaf, and 10 of the Tesla S. What are we talking about now? Dealer service. Whodathunkit?! This is the world we all pined for back when we were trying to figure out how to cram in one more battery and make the automatic transmission shift at the right points for an ADC FB1-4001, back when Solectria's guys were piling up Geo Metro mufflers and radiators behind their shop in Wilmington. Still, I have to admit, I get a little nostalgic now and then. :-\ *The Imiev went out of production in 2019 (I think), but you can still find a few new copies of the Peugeot Ion and Citroen C-Zero variants in the EU. In 2021 they sold - drumroll - 18 of them. David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it.

And that's how brand marketing works, and also fascism, we're finding. -- Marc Maron = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = _______________________________________________ Address messages to ev@lists.evdl.org No other addresses in TO and CC fields UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/ LIST INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
