My classic (silver) JuiceBox 40 Pro has given up the ghost (6 short
beeps, possibly indicating a pilot fault to ground error, although when
I test continuity of the pilot line from the J1772 plug to the circuit
board and/or to ground I don't find any issues...)
I have a replacement "dumb" EVSE to charge with, but I do miss the
ability to set a "maximum charge amount" (either via percentage or KWh)
on the phone app whenever I plugged in to keep my Leaf charged up to
(but not over) 80%.
As far as I can tell, the cords/box are all good, and it's just a
problem with the circuit board.
I was wondering if anybody had experiance with something like OpenEVSE
(or similar) where you could buy a kit of the interior parts and re-use
the box/power/j1772 plug wires.
The only real feature I'm looking for is 30-40 amp capacity (original
was 40 amp with a NEMA 14-50 plug, but I only need 27.5 for the Leaf)
and the ability to limit the charge amount (time/kwh) on a per charge
basis (ideally with a phone app, but I'd also consider a touch pad GUI
type solution).
Comments or suggestions?
I could also buy a new JuiceBox 40 Pro for about $500 [They offered me a
$100 discount coupon based of of my old one failing well outside of
warranty] so I'm looking for a $250 or lower price point for replacement
parts...+ my effort installing.
Thanks,
Jay
