bro, I know this was so long ago, but wondering if you can tell me if you had to do anything with timing or programing or anything in this spectrum? I have a 1994 Rodeo that I am going to tackle next weekend with same issue, and everything is the same as this. Ill keep looking to see if that is a needed step though, I just hit you up first.

Perfect video, thank you 100%

Cleaning and dressing the rubber seal around the sunroof panel itself will keep most of the water from ever getting into the drain lines. My '06 H3 sits out in the weather year round, and no matter how hard or how long it rains, barely enough water gets in the drain gutter to wet my finger tips. In under a half hour you can remove the sunroof panel, clean and dress the seal - and the mating surface and reinstall the panel. Much easier than spending half a day removing all the trim to clean out the drain lines...

CAn you put in a location and then look over the route before you set out?

etty good

What size is that tubing? I did passenger side drilled put the grommet a d its been fine. The driver side the tube just came lose and for the life of me I cant find where it goes i know its behind the steering wheel but forget it. Im going with this solution. So tired of water in my vehicle I took the a line down and drive with the tube hanging out when its raining. 😂

Great video. Good solution. Thanks 4 sharing, be blessed.

Thank you so much for this video! 5 cells in my Spark's battery are out of balance, your work has me confident that if GM won't fix it I still have a shot. If you have 5 cells you'd be willing to sell me I'd be quite interested.

Hello dear I’m from Egypt, and my Chevy Spark 2015 EV failed and 2 modules need to be replaced, Pls advise

Its not a BMS, in a car its called a BECM because it doesn't do anything with out a vehicle computer module . At 3.0VDC that cell might be below the published cutoff voltage specification, a charger will not charge a cell below cutoff voltage and the the cell is generally consider damaged and its chemistry is no longer viable.

My spark had a fatal error gm canada didnt want to touch 2 weeks ago. Your videos are so good! Very informative , very accurate! It gave me the confidence to drop that badboy out the car open it up and recharge lower voltage cell. I rebalance everything and my car is back to life!!! Lets hope for a long time! If you have some of those cell you won't use, im interested as i think it could help strech the lifespan of this wonderful car. Good work !

What size tires are you running and did u use spacers in the stock wheels? Looks great!

Great build. Where did you get the battery? I like free. Thanks for sharing

When u start the car how can u make the map the default view ? Thanks

I bought a santa fe 2023 from another country and the ex driver set his navigation to his country how can i change it ?

Couldn't watch more than 2 minutes. The constant camera moves made me want to barf... Too bad.

"Only 8 volts!". However, you didn't take into consideration the CURRENT the cell can provide at that 8 volts. Just saying.

Lovely build but oh heck no, never mix up connectors. Especially not a common one like the IEC one you used for DC charging because some day someone is going to plug that into an AC line voltage cable by accident which could be spectacular. (I also have my doubts about its suitability for DC and that sort of current because the datasheets I've seen only show AC ratings and do not give any DC specs). Appreciate it's not as nice n neat but use something that's rated for DC and isn't a common, easily mixed up type, one of the big, high current Anderson power poles perhaps.

I assume you posted the link in the FB thread about the ecoflow thread. That’s a pretty impressive build, but what is the cost of the battery for someone in BC? Possibly I missed it but have you included a master shut off? Something that completely isolates the battery from anything connected? I assume the Bluetooth BMS has a shut inside to give an accurate measurement of battery capacity. You mentioned the inverter has battery capacity but is t that just voltage? Possibly you could do an update video on the features? The BMS has an app? Does it has temperature shut off high, low? I was going to ask if about solar but I guess it has so much capacity that it’s not required? Only real suggestion I can say is maybe some 30a Anderson connections. I converted my portable fridges 12v cig lighter to Anderson

My 2016 Spark EV still gets 110 km per full charge around Vancouver (summer range, don’t ask about winter), but even though my charges are mostly 8A at 220V for longevity, I worry about the day that 1 module shuts down the whole car and GM says their overpriced battery units are no longer available. If you ever find more modules please let me know!!!

how to set again if the liftgate doesnt close

can you give me som information the hummer h3 part 2008 iam in africa

I'm working on my own rendition of your bed platform. I'll let you know how it goes. 😅💪🏻

Thanks i juste getting my new elantra luxury today and now I know why my smart trunk won't work because i let my second smart key in the car

Thx for the vid Sir! 1. How long was the job? 2. Where did u source the reman cardone? I have to do both axles...this vid will help a lot💪

Can you just blow it out with compressed air somehow

Which sliders were those from Rocky-road outfitters? They have like 4 different options without any descriptions on how they’re different

Any chance someone has a tools needed list for this job?

I guess its too late to say this (unless you haven't dissected the other modules) but tearing the cell tabs off what they are welded on (I guess you'd call it a bus bar of sorts, the U shaped pieces of copper) but those are likely welded on by an ultrasonic welder...so not something the hobbyist can redo....and trying to do resistance spot welding is going to be extremely difficult depending on the material of the tabs (often aluminum and nickel plated copper) There are some videos here on RUclips of people working on similar packs and fabricating compression style bus bars of their own but the question of resistance definitely exists....at the end of the day it will never be as good as the original ultrasonic weld to the copper pieces. Definitely restricts high discharge capabilities of any future battery you DIY. The best route for reusing these EV modules is to keep them together until you know what you plan on using them for and then do some brainstorming on the best way you can configure the modules to get your desired series connections by doing the fewest number of DIY series connections if you cannot replicate the original method of welding the cells together.

H ello! I have a 2016 Chevy Spark EV and noticed a lower battery range performance. Dealership performed the Electrical Systems Diagnosis ($175). They determined that the battery is functioning at 22.6 Ah, compared to the minimum 31.5 Ah. Headquarters is reluctant to act on it. They want me to "wait and see" and do another diagnostic in August. Do they think they made a misdiagnosis? Should I push for a repair order to start? The warranty expires in August, two months from now. Any advice?

I need a professional opinion: my 2016 Spark EV battery range was diminishing, so I took it to the Chevy dealership to run an electrical systems diagnosis test. The battery degradation was assessed at functioning at 22.6Ah, compared to an expected minimum of 31.5 Ah. The battery is still under warranty for another two months and the dealership headquarters are reluctant to act on it just yet. They want to run another diagnostic in August before they do anything. The first cost me over $150. Do they think they misdiagnosed a problem? Any advice?

Are the battery a123 battery or Samsung battery?

Excellent man.

Hey Ed, Ian here, great video! I did the math for you, that was $3560 in components you saved, plus the fluid heater and its controller, whose prices you didn't mention. So glad some great use came out of this thing and it didn't end up in a landfill! Looking forward to the rest of the series here to see how implementation goes! Wondering though, why won't you need to run coolant during use? Is it just a matter of discharge speed? I can see for the house backup not needing it, but in a higher current situation (like the scooter I see in another video) wouldn't you want to run coolant just for life extension? Maybe that's answered there, but thought I'd ask. Speaking of discharge speed, I did a little more math. The average home here uses 900 kWh per month, which comes to about 1 kW. From observation, this is equivalent to driving a Spark EV at around 2km/h (just above idle speed)! It also means the battery backup of 6 kW would last about 12 hours of normal use (assuming that average consumption of ~30 kWh is done in the waking 16 hours of the day). It might not run your oven long, but it'd be a full-power substitute in the case of short term blackouts, and could keep ten 9W LED bulbs (60W equivalent) powered for just under 3 days!

Thanks for the video. Do you have a link for the lights? I have a flag pole set up I can use it on.

Would be nice to know how to avoid toll roads

Awesome job, Ed! I could see many uses for that thing! It'd also be nice to attract all the bugs up really high and away from a person while camping. I am surprised at how bright those lights are!

How do you charge the battery?

Is there any way to disable car location on Kona 2024? I believe we can via bluelink but I was wondering if I can do it from infotainment?

Will 2 inch pucks work ok for the h3?

Nice, we ride different for sure. I strap on so much stuff its silly. Great second life to the battery!

Hoes that holding up🤔

What happened to the clip on the inside joint? Did you have to replace that

Thanks so much for sharing this! Ok guys anybody have a better battery cell number for an upgrade in 2024 ?

I stopped at “I’m going to drill a hole…”

Crap led lights though. Got mine 2021..both sides have burnt out lights now. So here I am swapping them out. Going with smoked factory style housings and using led bulbs. Pretty sure you don't have to tape them. They insert into the housing and you turn them to lock the socket in place.

BAD ASS BRO!!! I would luv to share some ideas I have about some mods I wanna do to my H3 to captivate my 4 1/2 yr Son so that way when he gets in it looks like he would be the copilot in show AirWolf with actually interactive LED switches and buttons small monitors... Kinda like the ole arcade game SPY HUNTER... I have some what of an idea that goes on top similar to the bx Fram you fashioned for your dash.. is it expensive for you to make those items?? And do you maybe take ideas fine tune them for Hummer folks lol I'm in South TX Corpus Christi trying to get to Mississippi where the Seraget mother had him after 2 reports of a No-go sorry it didn't take.. So here I GO!!! Papa Bear Driving in with Eagle One OR DJ's Battle Wagon ?? To Fight for what I want to be Accountable for a Son of my own. So I wnat to Retrofit the hummer to the amazement of a 4-5 yr old with a key of his own that turns on the rear controls and gives his new vehicle a personality of its own. I'm a firm believer in taking extra steps to making things happen.. TMI-TMI-TMI LOL

What a great informative vid! Ive been dreading this but im gonna tackle it tomorrow. Thank for the vid!

I just bought a used 2021 Hyundai Kona and I can’t connect my gps navigation to the car. Do I need blue link. When I first started the car there was a map and now it’s gone.

Nice! Battery hacker's heaven. Seems there are 15 series cells. If this block was to be used for a 48V application, it would require 13S (typical 54V) or 14S (Telecom going to 58V) for float. Once the weak cell is identified, it could be discharged manually to 0V, then shorted to leave the remaining good cells in the string functional and intact in their nice case. Could this be viable? Or would the 0V cell expand and create pressure on the adjacent cells?
