But the words "Keyless keychain protection" implies blocking of signals, surely?

(y) Yes, I didn't make it up :LOL: - has been an issue for at least a couple of home energy storage battery systems on a solar forum I'm active on.

What is it? What does "Silicone car key remote fob keyless keychain protection" do? Sounds like a Faraday shield for your fob - but that wouldn't be useful 🤷‍♀️

I like how they carefully found and picked up on the 'best' unique selling point of the XPower to promote it... "Stay warm and comfortable on chilly days with heated seats, designed to provide gentle, evenly distributed warmth for both driver and passengers. The intuitive controls allow you...

Agree - passive balancing works OK. And is probably safer in a (relatively) hostile environment like an EV. Active balancers can, and do, fail. When that failure happens due to poor connections and under-reading of a cell's voltage they can pump too much energy into a cell and cause...

I can understand the confusion. The high voltage cells are not being discharged. They are just being charged at a slower rate than the others to minimise the voltage delta (as T1 explained above) - see my diagram below for a (hopefully) clearer explanation. almost... but not quite ;)...

Sadly, "suspecting" something after 4 weeks doesn't sound that hopeful to me. Fingers crossed for you, but as you said on 3rd March... "they seem to be incapable of sorting this" :(

Good question - that sounds ideal - but, sorry I don't know 🤷‍♀️

(y) but they do exactly that on Octopus Agile.... paying nearly 17p in the next 30 mins from now.. and you'd get 19.44p / kWh for export between 18:30 and 19:00 today :) https://www.octopriceuk.app/agileOutgoing

(y) I hope I made that clear too :unsure:

Hmm... so, you are saying that LiFePO4 cells don't have calendar ageing and improve with cycling within correct voltage range. That means they will last forever and get better as they mature - TBH I find that hard to believe 🤷‍♀️

Were/are you on the flexible rate, or fixed for 12months

(y) agree - as I commented earlier in the thread, IMHO calendar ageing will be as big a factor in degradation as cyclic usage.

We'll look forward to your update somewhen in 2028 then (y)

My 'unlikely' was referring to originally getting over 300 miles range on a non-ER.
