Very tidy work. That's how I wired mine. Flexible leads and heat shrink keeps all the parts safe. I think I ziptied my resistor in the shrink to the gnd wire to keep it from moving around.

Great work on the 20a plug. I guess it nevertheless won't be safe to run at 7kw for more than a few minutes given the limited grip on the pins in the socket and contact area. I always scratch my head at why the only enlarged pin on a 15A plug is the ground pin. It's why I decided to build mine...

Hi Terry. I had one of the energy meters leftover from another project so I thought I'd add it to the box. A quick question for you. I couldn't see it in your photos but did you change the 3 pin socket on your adaptor to a 32A one or did it come like that?

Hey Terry. Just finished upgrading my V2L adaptor to 7kW. For those looking to copy, I take no responsibility for your assembly skills etc. Here I included a 32A breaker as an isolator switch. All stranded cable is terminated with bootlace ferrules to address the risk of loose strands causing...

Using AAWireless two in my MG4 with pixel 6A. Works flawlessly and switches between phones with ease. Best investment I've made.

And it magically came good.....

Yep. I've been swiping down. Still the same.

Pretty sure it's showing server cached data but it just shouldn't

Hey Oz MG4 crew. Is anyone else having trouble with iSmart today? Mine is showing the wrong state of charge this afternoon. It's exactly 20% above the actual charge

Makers rule the world:-)

Sound like a solid plan. Well done

Hi David. I'm not sure that the oxidization on the bottom outer shell would cause the leakage in and of itself unless its penetrated the aluminium jackets. If it has penetrated the jackets then its game over anyway. It still remains more likely to be leakage due to oxidization between metal...

I agree with @Coulomb start with an easy module. Flush them with lots of contact cleaner fluid especially around the terminals at the top. Scrub with a plastic brush and try to get under the strapping with something. See how it goes. I'm not so concerned about the bottom of the module but best...

Part of the issue might be that you are using it on two phones for the same car. The car can only be used with ismart on one phone.

Given how otherwise clean the top of the modules look in the photos I guess the worst of the conductive salts are going to be under the welded on cell link straps. Hopefully you can find something that you can push in under there to help clean it out with the contact cleaner fluid. Might not be...

Hi David. Here's what I'd do next. Take one of the modules, say the worst one out of the pack. Take another reading from the shells/frame to the module terminals again just to confirm the reading. Then soak the top of the module in contact cleaner spray. Contact cleaner is a dielectric fluid...

Hi David. Yes looking at the photos I agree there's nothing obvious showing and the cells in the pack seem to be welded to the link straps so they cannot be disassembled further. Are the cells in plastic or metal jackets? I can see aluminium under the plastic top frame.

Yes, given the pack is already pretty low it's just a case of bringing all the cells to equal the best one. In answer to your question about mixing modules, I agree with @Coulomb . Not something you'd do unless absolutely necessary for example one of the modules has cells below 2v. You wouldn't...

All EV's carry out "top balancing" at the end of a full charge but it can only cope with a very limited range of differential. The MG's are no different. @coulombs advice on how to do it is on target. Allow yourself a week. Ray

Hi David. I understand it's all new to you but believe me when I say you have to be thorough. I recall you saying that the pack is at a very low state already. Water ingress can cause some discharge all of its own. Any imbalance between cells, not just modules will reduce range so it's...
