Separate names with a comma.
I understand this stuff and sometimes I still feel like I'm speaking in tongues. :LOL: If you look at the sticky thread "12V Battery is...
Nope. I live in Saskatchewan and I was at their store less than a week ago for some UPS batteries. They don't have any 140R batteries and...
When you search at CanadianTire.ca or PartSource.ca (which is owned by Canadian Tire), they both say they don't have a 12V battery for a PP. When...
The downside of LiFePO4 is that it's energy density is about 25% lower than regular Lithium-ion batteries. That would translate into lower range...
Yes, a relatively new battery in a mild climate is a best case situation. The other point to keep in mind is that we hear about the relatively...
Congratulations. Based on my experience and the messages I've seen on this forum, your accomplishment is extremely unusual. I hope you bought...
Somewhere in another thread, the parasitic drain was listed as about 85 ma. Do the math with a 45 AH battery and you get about 22 days to drain...
I've always assumed (yeah, I know) that safety was the main reason that the traction battery isn't used for startup. Basically, the computers...
Just a note regarding the app that goes with the BM2. For some reason, there are two free versions on the Playstore. One (JMP Battmon II) has...
I've found that the PP is very sensitive to wind conditions. I've seen highway mileage (i.e. minimal EV use) vary from 50 to 70 mpg depending on...
I've started my 2020 PP multiple times at -30C with no problems. No battery blanket, no block heater, 0W16 oil, no garage. We've had -40C...
I discussed this with someone here, I think. Best guess is that instead of "insulate", they meant "isolate" as in disconnect. Ed
I used the weatherstripping shown in the attached photo. It's widely available on ebay or amazon. The 0.39 inch side pinches the top of the...
I agree that a jump box is a requirement for the PP. The combination of covid and my cold winters almost guarantees that it will be needed. But...
If you accept the value of 20 HP as the requirement for cruising on the highway (it might actually be lower than that), the Tesla has 25 times...
Trollbait, I wasn't thinking about a loss of efficiency, but rather the idea of designing, building, and paying for a system rated for 500 HP and...
When the battery is cold - whatever the car decides is 'cold' - the ICE will start if you call for lots of power from the battery. So with low...
There's a video on Youtube where they do a teardown and analysis on the Tesla Model S drivetrain. At one point you can see the label on the...
It's up to the car to protect the battery from idiot users. The PP already prevents overcharge, charging when the battery is too hot / cold,...
I live a long way from a significant amount of water so humidity isn't a big issue for me. However, I still have a few rules to help keep...
