    no AC charging and sudden stop while driving

    Hi Kiev, The 12v battery is brand new and it's ok, it's the first thing I checked and changed for precaution (even if the old one seemed still quite ok). Problem is that the dealer unplugged it in July when the car was sitting idle in his garage, so basically all circuitry were left without...

    no AC charging and sudden stop while driving

    Thank you for your help MickeyS70. Error codes are: U1100 and U1101 Today I checked the MCU fuse, it is ok. Switching on the car I can hear the battery fan blowing continuously, but no battery bars appear on the dashboard. I tried the dealer's citroen diagnostic tool. It recognises the new OBC...

    no AC charging and sudden stop while driving

    Hi guys, a little help here? :shock: I have troubles fixing my aging, but until recently, almost perfect "Zerina", a 2012 C-Zero, 16 kwh battery pack replaced under warranty in 2017 (last time I checked SOC was at 93%, I could still easily drive for 120 / 130 kms). Zerina has started having...

    Has anyone successfully had a warranty replacement for degradation?

    in 2017 I was able to have a battery replacement under warranty, car was almost 5 years old (warranty limit here in Italy), it was parked without being used for some months, when I started using it again it could charge only to 12 bars. It wasn't easy though, I had to push hard to convince the...

    Battery cell failing at just 2900 km (1800 miles)

    I received my car back last week. So, how does my new battery-pack look like? https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2nh4ZMDv45eLTI3STVzWEJJaDQ https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2nh4ZMDv45eR1JZM2NKSEZaMG8 It is better than I thought: 2 days ago I drove 78 kms using 50% of charge (driving easily...

    Battery cell failing at just 2900 km (1800 miles)

    Kiev, 3 readings with canion with 3 different soc, 1 with evbatmon. I took these readings before taking the car for the "cure". Oddly enough those readings seems quite good to me. How is it possible that I started with 80 kms RR with just 12 bars and I end up 4 months later with 16 bars, 120...

    Battery cell failing at just 2900 km (1800 miles)

    Hi Jumpjack, Well, I still have the old pack. It seems Citroen had issues in receiving the new pack from Japan. Now it seems it has finally arrived in Italy last week, so they should call me in the next days... maybe... Meanwhile my battery pack is always better, now it shows 120 kms on the RR...

    Battery cell failing at just 2900 km (1800 miles)

    Surprise surprise! after discharging the car completely (to a complete stop), I fully recharged. To my surprise I now have all the bars on the "tank" gauge, this is the first time it ever happens :shock: . When I first had my car in December it showed just 12 bars when fully charged. CanIon now...

    Battery cell failing at just 2900 km (1800 miles)

    thank you Joes, I am enjoying it, and even having fun experimenting with it, knowing in some days I will have a new pack. Cells won't rejuvenate, even the technician at Citroen told me that. He told me cycling the battery with deep discharges / full recharges will probably give me some range...

    Battery cell failing at just 2900 km (1800 miles)

    I made a new experiment. I ran the car with full charge (91.5% SOC in my case) till it stopped completely (0% SOC). Thanks to CanIon I managed to calculate when I needed to approach home (driving very slowly). SOC history...

    Battery cell failing at just 2900 km (1800 miles)

    JoeS, that was quite a special car, they displayed it in some cities, and just for 1 year. In Milan I know they used a ChaDemo charger (somebody told me at Citroen), in the other cities they had a Mennekes to Yazaki cable (I received that too with the car). then it has been left alone between 2...

    Battery cell failing at just 2900 km (1800 miles)

    My slowest charge is with my stock evse at 10 amps, 220v (standard here). this is the battery status after a full charge this morning: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2nh4ZMDv45eOHNFcWJSRWlDQnc/view?usp=sharing clearly the 2 faulty cells have a lower voltage and SOC tops out at 91.5% then I...

    Battery cell failing at just 2900 km (1800 miles)

    The OBDlink has arrived! CanIon is wonderful! here it is the first data (at 58% SOC) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2nh4ZMDv45eT3Z4VzlUU3JuZjA/view?usp=sharing it is clear that cells 10 and 15 behave differently than the others..

    This is the one I bought: http://www.ebay.it/itm/171651829835?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT 100% positive reviews and claims he is an authorized dealer.. I really hope this isn't a scamtool! Barbagris what a pity I didn't read your post before, anyway tracking says...

    Battery cell failing at just 2900 km (1800 miles)

    Oddly enough, after two weeks of intense use I now have 2 bars more on the battery gauge when fully charged and the car has more range. at first I had 12 bars when fully charged, now I have 14. the RR is gone from 82 km left to 95 (I know this is only indicative, but I also have more true range...

    Turtle riding (How far has the turtle brought you ?)

    In Hungary a car magazine has tried a low speed, public roads range test. In this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqSLNX3WlHY you can clearly see the turtle showing up at 201.9 km and the battery drying out completely at 219.3 or 17.4 km at 30 km/h. They managed to drive 220 km (137 mi) on...

    Battery cell failing at just 2900 km (1800 miles)

    Hi guys, I finally received some news from the dealer. They confirmed the battery pack is damaged and has to be replaced. I went on chatting a bit with the chief mechanic, he told me 2 cells fail to charge: number 6 and 12. He is unsure if there is a pack in stock at PSA in France, if that is...

    Battery cell failing at just 2900 km (1800 miles)

    I just bought a Citroen C-Zero (a rebranded imiev) here in Italy. It was used as a demonstrative vehicle in 2012/2013 (exp. date of its last insurance was October 2013) and then it was left alone for 2 years. When I tried it at the dealer it looked absolutely new, even the tyres. It was...
