For Sale: Enginer 4KW system

welcome to p/c!

 

Which batteries does your kit use? MottoCell or RealForce??

 

Has this sold yet? The RFE HV battery packs what are the spec? Is this Enginer V6

 

If no one is interested in the kit. I would be interested int he Converter and the Charger.

 

In order for me personally to be in a mindset to BUY.. I need to know what you have.! Enginer is no longer being sold on EBAY or via there old,dated, defunct website. If you have images of the kit would be helpful. My avatar is a enginer BMS for a 4kw side view

 

I will double down on this too however would prefer images or better yet just list on ebay with images

 

Any chance you can post some images like in photo bucket or sometin otherwise have no clue what you are really offerin anyway.Are you overlookin the past posts

 

what kinda price are you wanting for it then?

 

So the one you are SELLING has a battery box

 

So it is a version 5 kit. Being a year and a half old well before the version 6 came out. The hot weather in a Texas summer will probably cause thermal shutdowns of the version 5 converter whereas the version 6 has improved cooling efficiency and will probably not shutdown.

It may be a better idea to buy a Version 6 DC Converter from Sushp.

 

Hi lopezjm2001,

I am in the UK across the pond, and we dont see the temperaures that you do over there (mores the pity though).
I too have the ver 5 kit, with the realforce batteries. Is there a major difference between the converters in relation to the cooloing? I would rather mod mine if i thought cooling issues would cause failures, maybe i could mod the inverter top cover and attach a few more 48v cooling fans, what do you think i could do to improve it so to try to eliminate any future cooling problems.

Thanks

 

You are located in a cold climate. I think that in summer the temperature does not get much higher than 25deg.C. At 25deg.C you should not see any thermal shutdowns of a version 5 converter unless airflow of your converter is blocked. But in your case you should not need to add cooling devices. Most of your year is winter.

Depending on how your kit was installed it may be possible to do something to improve airflow. The version 6 Enginer kit does not use a metal box and hence uses an open architecture so airflow is less of an issue.

 

Thanks for the reply lopez,
where the enginer case fans exhaust air exits the case, i have left off the prius boot side plastic covers to allow the air to vent away easier in the hope that cooling is better, I do hear the converter fans come on and i have placed my hand on the converter when they fans are running to see how hot it is, but thus far doesnt get hot to touch, but i am still thinking of doing something to it as a preventative measure though.

Thanks, Anthony
