I just replaced the aux bat on my late 2017.
When I was listening to the stereo with 'ignition' set to aux for around 10 minutes, I noticed a low 11.someting reading on PHEV watchdog.
Dropped in a yellow top Optima (mentioned in another thread).
And did a capacity measurement of the old bat...
I have seen partial or complete failures on led rear light assemblies quiet often. So first thing I would check is the voltage at the connector of the rear light brake signal.
Fuse probably not the cause
I am also about to replace the aux bat on mine. Already bought a Bosch FLA but yeah the thought of acid spraying around when getting rear ended is not so nice...
Is the Optima YT a drop in replacement?
I would be sooooo happy if the car had a working ACC... Because what Mitsubishi built does not deserve the word 'working'.
The distance settings are ridiculous and the way it works too.
Speeds towards head up traffic, then slams on the brake... And stays on the brake forever.
My BMW slows down...
that sounds promising - a few guys had problems with their Smart EQs - a failing aux battery taking the drive battery with it - although the real cause is still in the dark.
btw: just found an interesting post-2019 traction pack, few kms... The battery enclosure suffered some damage but seller...
I am afraid we are talking about different operation scenarios here.
It appears to me that you describe the normal operation mode with juice left in the drive battery and the ice just kicking in to assist in phases of high power demand.
I describe the scenario of running the car long distance...
Maybe I should have written more to my 'let the car decide' answer.
The car will not suffer damage if you just use it as an ordinary hybrid (without plugging it in or charging by charge button).
When cruising in normal mode at moderate highway speeds, at least my 2017 Outlander charges the...
Hello forum,
I am passively looking for a used 2019ff drive battery.
From another of our electric vehicles (the Smart EQ), I read that if the aux 12V bat is removed from the car, the traction pack will discharge completely (rendering it useless) within a few weeks. This may be a safety...
It's an old discussion, but nevertheless I want to add that:
I always get a full charge when picking up one of our Outlanders or any of our other electric vehicles (BMW i3s, Peugeot e-Traveller, Street Scooter Work, Smart EQ, Mazda MX-30) from service at an authorized garage
I rarely get a full...
My understanding of traction batteries is (but please correct me if I am wrong)
they get charged until the end of charge voltage is reached (the cells are full @ 4.1 Volt)
they get discharged until the end of discharge voltage is reached (the cells are empty @ 2.something Volt but the car only...
