    Battery Degradation Issues: I bet you wil suffer from them

    Sorry no, the range is down to only 28km.

    Battery Degradation Issues: I bet you wil suffer from them

    What diagnostic did they do? A Battery Judgment Report showing each individual cell with voltage?

    Battery Degradation Issues: I bet you wil suffer from them

    It's definitely not the weather or heat stress. I have multiple contacts from Norway, Ireland, Netherlands, Germany and other 'cooler' countries reporting the same issues. Mine had a BMU reset last year as it was down to 80% after just 3.5yrs. Within 10 months the capacity slipped under 80%...

    Drive battery degradation and the out of whack IMO BMU.

    That is very unlikely. The BMU uses coulomb count for keeping track of the SoH and SoC. Obviously not very successful...

    GS Yuasa drive battery in the PHEV. Lets discuss.

    Following this discussion for a while now with great interest. So what is the outcome so far, do we have LEV50 or special made LEV40 (without any datasheet so far)? As for the bigger question: do you believe there is a difference in cell chemistry between the two or can we assume they are the...

    Drive battery degradation and the out of whack IMO BMU.

    I cannot see this as a fault of the operator. Other EVs do not seem to have this problem, I'm sure someone would have noticed and made this public as #parkinggate or something. Furthermore, before the update the BMS has calculated the SoC correctly (in my eyes) and gave me more KM after a rest...

    Drive battery degradation and the out of whack IMO BMU.

    Well, before the software update during the recall last year, the algorithm never seemed to downgrade the EV range while parking. In Winter it kept the the same range or a small gain and in summer it bumped it up to 2-5km. Unfortunately I did not have the Dog at this time so could not really see...

    Drive battery degradation and the out of whack IMO BMU.

    The BMU reset did not change any cell voltage ranges though. I checked this several times. I cannot support your assumption the PHEV is using battery capacity from 100% down to 15 or even 10% SoC. If this is true I would have seen far lower voltages at the end of a journey and also at the end of...

    Drive battery degradation and the out of whack IMO BMU.

    10kWh after the procedure... That's what I was saying in a couple of my videos: the software loses track of the real capacity over time and goes down to protect it, makes rather conservative assumptions than going to high. What you're saying above is exactly correct and the real battery...

    Drive battery degradation and the out of whack IMO BMU.

    That's what I experience, the cell voltage rises over time while parking but the available Ah and EV km drop at the same time. Is this enough out of whack? Very interesting theory, elm70. This would explain the miscalculation the BMU makes and the dropping SoH as well. It would also explain why...

    Drive battery degradation and the out of whack IMO BMU.

    So you think the SoC was 35% but the BMS showed only 30% via the CAN BUS? If we assume we have at least another 5% missing at the top (100% SoC is in reality 95%), this would mean only 60% usable battery capacity = 7.2kWh. The charger pushed almost 10kWh into the car though and I don't believe...

    Drive battery degradation and the out of whack IMO BMU.

    Guys, I've posted mi findings already in another thread here and explained it also in some of my recent videos. After the procedure the total cycle count has not changed and the cars is not digging deeper into the lower 30% than before. Neither has the upper voltage changed and is still at 4.1V...

    Drive battery degradation . Houston, do we have a problem?

    Yeah, not quite sure why Mitsubishi dealers are calling it battery cell smoothing procedure when in fact it's a simple MBU reset (takes less than 10min with the MUT III apparently). As per my observation and measurements, the BMS does not dig deeper into the 30% bottom buffer though, nor does...

    Buy your own MUT 3?? Thoughts?

    I was thinking the same and asked around in the forum who might be interested in chipping in so we can share the price of the MUT and a laptop. Sending it around to everyone contributed is an easy thing and we could sort out a lot of issues with the car ourselves... I watched these videos here...

    Poor battery performance

    And then we have the battery cell smoothing procedure and the BMS reset procedure as separate services they can apply to the battery. I think they have done a full reset on my BMS as it went straight back to 100% SoH with 60.000km...

    Confused by the heater drawing battery

    10A will give you only 2.3kW at best. The heater can use more power depending on your ambient and set temperature, up to 4.5kW. The charger slows down at the end of the charging cycle when the battery gets full but still can pull 1.5kW which leaves not much left for the heater. So, yes it can...

    12V Aux Battery Charging

    Andy, the battery cooling operates a fan and aircon vaporizer for battery temperatures above 35°C (95F). You can see it operating in the Energy Monitor on the MMCS. It only operates when the car is turned on or been charged externally. We had 45°C (113F) last summer with the battery having...

    12V Aux Battery Charging

    I'm electrician with a specialisation in electronics and computing, so yeah... a clamp amp with logger is quite expensive though and I have hesitated to buy one just for this purpose yet. I will hook up my normal amp meter (20A) and see what is going on on the weekend. At the moment it looks...

    12V Aux Battery Charging

    This seems to be my problem at the moment. Could you see if the the aux battery is ever charged when the car is turned off and not plugged in? What happened once you discharged the aux battery, did the DC/DC converter kick in at some stage? That could be the missing piece in solving my loss of...

    Flat Aux battery

    Interesting discussion about the 12V aux battery. I'm in search-mode for a similar problem with loosing charge of the main battery while parking. Some have suggested it could be the aux battery which takes some energy from the drive battery while parking. My PHEV has no Wifi so there is no...
