The dealer's best guess was that the BMU needs to be replaced before they can continue the tests. They are not sure what the problem is but their diagnostics stop at that component. The BMU price is from CAD$800 to CAD$1200 depending on models: for mine, it is CAD$1200. I was not ready to spend...

(From first post) With Canion, I was able to connect and read the voltages of the battery cells (only 2 out of 16 bars left, high=3.765V, low 3.735V, avg 3.750V, 330V, SoC% 22.0, the main battery is approximately 70000km, the car is 172000km). I will try to drive to the Chademo charger and see...

The dealer has tried to start the car with a charger connected to the J1772 port. He said that the car does not start. This would suggest that the wiring from the J1772 port is correct since it does detect a connected charger. Because of the weak battery, he also connected a booster battery to...

12V Battery voltage with ignition key at: Off: 12.1 volts Acc: 11.8 volts Ready: 14.5 volts I have yet to confirm if the car starts with a charger connected to the J1772 connector.

I had a spare cable with a pre-assembled J1772 connector at one end and some pre-assembled connectors at the other end (one of which connects to the on-board charger’s input). I used it to bypass the car’s j1772 connector and the cable that feeds the on-board charger. This cable was from another...

It will be done Monday.

Coming back from an event-free ride, when I plugged in my 2012 Miev in a 220vac charger nothing happened. The dashboard light confirming that it is plugged in did not come on and the car did not charge. I also tried with two 120vac chargers with the same results. (My other Miev charges OK with...

Cell dimensions: With the LEV50 beeing 111 x 171 x 44 (in mm) how much available space do we have to fit a higher/larger/thicker cell? The thickness (44mm) is limited by the spacing between the sensor holes on the CMU board. Does anyone have the spacing measurement? Height (111mm) will be...

I found this article which brings some information about the current sensor in the Miev: Battery Management System Hardware Concepts: An Overview by Markus Lelie, Thomas Braun, Marcus Knips, Hannes Nordmann, Florian Ringbeck, Hendrik Zappen and Dirk Uwe Sauer Appl. Sci. 2018, 8, 534...

Ocober 2019: replacement battery for i-Miev from dealer in Canada is CAD$29000 plus 15% sales taxes.

part number 9499D442 Manufactured 2013.03.05 I have a 2013 on-board charger that has been tried for a month. It is ready to install with all the 2012 connectors and a modified coolant hose. Pick-up is possible in the Montreal area but I can check shipping costs to your address. After...

(Kiev, thank you for the picture of the battery management system.) If your replacement cell has more capacity than the old ones, all the other cells will charge faster that the new one. Correct? If the charging rate difference is higher than what the battery management system can compensate...

Thank you very much. I thought the 111mm height measurement was exclusive of the bolt. Your picture show it is inclusive... Does the pack come with a battery management system? Would you have some pictures? I am wondering if current is measured on the BMS or elsewhere... Have you read the...

Kiev, about the cell sizes, would you have the cell height from: -bottom to top of case -bottom to top of connector plate -bottom to top fo M8 bolt How confident are you with your measurements? +- 1mm, better? Some manufacturers can make the cases with custom dimensions but I need to have them...

Too bad there is a limit. But maybe there is a way to benefit from higher capacity cells... When the battery is old or when it is very cold, I suppose it will reach the cut-off voltage (and the turtle) before it has delivered the 42.2Ah. With 100Ah cells, the battery will probably be able to...

If you have not sold the car, check with your dealer for the extended warranty on the OBC...

Under the extended OBC warranty, the dealer has just replaced the charger I had installed myself with a new one, He gave me back my old charger and the hose that I had to custom make. They charged me for the coolant ;-( In my case, the OBC had already been replaced in 2015. I had new charging...

Capacity increase considerations: From what I understand about batteries, the monitoring board will track voltage to determine if each cell is charged enough or not. Since the cells are connected in series, the same current flows through each of them. The only way to charge one cell slower than...

Does anyone have the dimensions of the LEV50 cell? I have the dimensions of the exterior casing (171mm x 44mm x 115mm) but I could not find the distance between the terminals (center to center). The terminals are M8 but does anyone know the thread pitch? (That is the distance between two...

Following instructions on this forum, I have just installed a 2013 OBC in my 2012 Miev to reduce the chances of having the same failure again. Has been working fine for 3 weeks (2000km). Behaves exactly as it should. As you mention, I don’t know if the dealer would have replaced my obc because...
