I can understand that an Uber driver would go for LFP over NMC cells and be interested in the SOH of the battery ..... but you need to understand that the figure the MG computer is proving is ..... a bit like the Windows progress bar when it has a bigger job to do ..... it's "give or take half a...

I'm sure to be corrected here, but from memory, capacitors can only move as much as they can hold in the time they have to charge and discharge. An induction coil can be saturation charged much faster, doesn't deteriorate as fast as a capacitor and can dissipate the stored current very quickly...

I have a laugh to myself every time I see "bypass resistor," face it, that resistor is a controlled short across the cell, nothing more. That energy is converted to heat, a loss system simply creating heat in an area that is heat sensitive .... cheap but nasty Why haven't dynamic balancers been...

o_O When the 3G was shut down a few weeks back, a lot of the security gates that required your number to be registered with the gate control so you could ring it to open, they just stopped working ..... those a bit full of themselves with their own security gates to their property, were either...

Started raining here early hrs this morning, now we have the humidity to go with it, but at least it has cooled a bit. T1 Terry

Under load, a weak cell will show up instantly, a high resistance cell will show up when charging, a strange delta v figure can be traced to the problem area. All these things affect the battery operation, fast charging stops early if a cell shows signs of high resistance, the same for the...

I just asked a similar question on another thread, from what you are saying, the OBD only reports highest and lowest and the delta. It only takes a slight resistance in a connector to throw the delta way out, this is often seen when side by side cells show the highest and lowest readings, add...

Is this for each cell, or just the lowest and highest cell and identify which cell it is? Will it record a graph of that for later analysis? The Junsi cell log 8 were great for doing this, but no longer available for the last 3 yrs or more .... I'll have to do some research to find a cell...

I want to hear about the range of the 51 on Australian roads ...... anyone? T1 Terry

It is officially 40°C in the shade here at the moment, feels like and wind temp 44°C, UV 11 unhealthy to be in the sun at all. The 5kW rooftop rattler inverter air conditioner in the motorhome is not coping with the heat, might need to plug the MG4 in and sit in there for a while, we still have...

:D I really feel for them, it was 43°C here today, it will be hotter tomorrow, no idea how anyone could drive a vehicle without a steering wheel heater :rolleyes: T1 Terry

Ya gotta love the visuals from the opening line As Jaguar attempts to roll out its rebranding with all the finesse of a cat stuck in a bathtub :ROFLMAO: That is pure gold ....... T1 Terry

I was thinking more along these lines Speed Hump Middle Section 500x410x70mm across the footpath over the cable to protect against trip hazards and cable damage. I'm guessing it would require some sort of anchoring to the footpath to stop it becoming someone else's when you weren't looking, but...

The SOH at least lets you watch for the "degradation" to level out, at that stage you get a better picture of the true battery capacity. How many manufacturers told porkies about the hp of the old gas guzzlers, or MPG figures that required a tail wind down a greased mine shaft to achieve. The...

94% of 51kWh is around 48kWh isn't it ....... allowing a bit for a safety margin, not all mass produced cells are equal, that sounds closer to the mark, if you use the fully charged with some surface charge voltage of 3.6V per cell x 104 cells = 375V. 48kWh / 375VDC = 128Ah per cell, fairly...

Possible, but I doubt it, I believe they would use all the capacity they could fit in the same battery box, then increase the claimed full battery range ..... isn't that one of those things that also only seem to exist in theory, does anyone actually drive a number of these vehicles a number of...

It comes down to a charging speed issue really. You can't charge an LFP or LYP cell to 3.4V using a 3.4V charge limit, in easy to understand speak, you have to force the last bit in. These cells can be charged to 4V but you have to watch them like a hawk if/when you do this, once the cell is...

This sounds more like the insurance industry looking for any escape clause they can find to not pay out on a claim. Do the little plastic vents fitted each side to the front scope also have to be declared, that is a modification, as are floor mats, a dash mat, door sill scuff plates ..... the...

Surely the council could have provided him with those cable cover ramps to use when he was charging his car, pathetic on the council's behalf and hopefully an embarrassment for them because it goes against the govt push for EVs to replace ICE powered vehicles T1 Terry

:eek:o_O:mad: about as close as I could come to an embarrassed emoji .... you are of course correct, my bad ..... T1 Terry
