I have two. I dont use mine.

What are they worth? Do they not make them anymore either? I have one for each of our cars. i am selling my husbands 2014 and the charger should go with it. (My husband passed away). I dont really use mine, So will consider it.

I would fuse the front at 20 amps for two reasons. The set up in the back is breaker is 15 amps. I'm not sure what your wire size is, looks like it's 12 or 10 gauge which is good. By going slightly higher with the feed fuse you avoid nuisance fuse blows which could come at a bad time. The idea...

I had the need for 12 Volt on all the time also, mine for a 300 watt sine wave inverter. I picked up the ground behind the panel that you show your set up mounted into. The always hot positive is available at the front side of the On Board Charger under the rear deck. I just removed one of the...

We have two 2014 North American iMievs, but as of yet have not been able to get the program to hook up and recognize the car. I'm using the scan tool OBDLink MX Revision 2.2/R4 Aerowhatt

Tesla packs are made of bricks of smaller cells. We can think of a brick of paralleled Tesla cells as a single cell when comparing to our iMiev battery packs. Indeed a single small cell failing does not render a Tesla pack unusable at all. However the capacity impact is much larger than you...

The stock socket only works with the key on, unless a 2017 is different. You need to be careful selecting an auxiliary battery to charge from a car. Best case is it has a port just for that. Solar panels "12V" actually put out more like 17V to 21V. Most of the AUX battery units are using...

The car does charge the 12v while charging. It uses the DC to DC converter which always puts out 14.4V. Which is a cycle charging voltage for a 12 volt battery. Float or trickle would be around 13.6 volts. 14.4V is exactly the same voltage charging when in READY mode too. Once the car stops...

Do you have information on how both cars were charged most of the time L1 or L2. Any significant charging habit difference between them. If it is this fuse causing a cascade failure (likely). It seems like higher amperage would stress it more, if it is heat stress that is the main culprit...

Mitsu tested things for the way that they suggest they be used. So as long as one is starting and stopping charging in the ways supplied and suggested in the manual, then things should be alright. There are externals like line surges and spikes, power outages, etc., that the system must absorb...

With the 2014 cars I do this all the time. A delayed charge so that charging finishes an hour or two before leaving. A half hour before my wife leaves I preheat her car (from bed ;) ) right before I get up. Hundreds of times and it has always worked just fine. Even if the car is still plugged...

I just thought I would update this old thread with some new information. I've been carrying around the 2013 Honda Fit spare tire for three years and unfortunately we finally needed to use it (The wheel is stamped 15x4T, tire size T135/80D15 . . . 60 psi) . My wife came home last Friday evening...

For canion screen shots I’m using a cheap android tablet. It has a touch screen so I just use a single tap on the list on the left side of the canion screen which fairly reliably records a screenshot. With the tablet between the two front seats on the console I can get one at any time without...

Yes, that is I-40 east bound, Speed limit is 65 mph, the whole way to NM-14. I have the option of using old route 66 (which you can do 40 to 45 mph on most of the way instead but after more that 15 attempts I couldn't ever do better than 1% better SOC on old Rt 66 than on I-40, to the north 14...

OK so the point is that this grade starts out at -13.5 % I actually pull out of the parking area in N to avoid using any power. You must put the car in a drive gear within 150 ft or you will be going to fast for the first switchback corner. On a grade like that if all I can get from regen is a...
