Can you please explain this? The outlanders up to about 2019/20 (I Think) actually only draw 50A from the Fast Chargers when running at full and this is only for a short time as they have small battery packs the voltage rises fairly quickly and then the car starts reducing the charging current...

Why do you think it will show a faster degradation?

It makes sense when you know how it works. The reason for the different ranges on the same pack is because one is just replacing the pack with larger batteries but using the stock settings in the vehicle so the car won’t recognize the extra capacity and the extended version uses a CAN Bridge to...

Hi, No I replaced the cells with larger cells which has a lot of added benefits. Currently working on a service to provide people with degraded packs and upgrade to take the car back to original. Also by putting in a larger pack it won’t degrade as fast as it isn’t working as hard, takes fast...

Nice work! I have done the same with my 2015 and as you say it drives like new. I put a larger pack in mine and have found quite a few other benefits too. With regards to the AC, did they use the correct insulating oil? “The oil spec is MA68EV (i.e., non-conductive POE, rather than the usual...

Please explain the charge profile you are talking about and how it is not suitable for alternative batteries?

The car operates perfectly fine with no charge in the air conditioning system. Obviously if the battery gets to hot it will flag up an error but doesn't effect it as far as normal driving and charging bit standard and fast charging.

You are better to fully charge the car and then reset the BMU etc. if you do it at mid or low charge it takes the car a long time to sort itself out.

Hi, there is a big misconception about charging the outlanders past 80% because of damage etc. the fact is they aren’t actually really fast charging anyway on the Chademo chargers. I have a 2015 with a 40AH battery. The Standard charge rate for most batteries is 1C so in the case of a 40AH...

Hi, is there any 3rd party devices connect like maybe a Toll Road unit or something? It just doesn’t sound like a typical Mitzi beep for warnings etc.
