  • @AdmSkyWalker
    @AdmSkyWalker 5 лет назад +17

    I don't think the amount of power in the battery pack is the problem. When I started my research for my first Tesla I had a apartment garage that had no power save for the light bulb. The only way to charge while in the garage would be to plug into the bulb socket using a plug adapter. Problem is, those adapters are only 2 prongs because light sockets do not have a grounding connection. While researching the mobile charger manual, I discovered that the charger will always give a red light if it does not detect a ground connection. That means if you are plugged into a three prong and the ground connection does connect to anything, it will always be red.
    Yes, the battery pack has the ground prong but it does not have an actual ground wire. The only way a battery pack like that could work would be if it allowed for a grounding wire to be connected to the pack and you connect said grounding wire to a grounding pole. A ground pole is basically a metal rod that is staked in the ground. Large generators come with copper rods to act as the grounding rod. A metal fence post might work as a grounding rod depending on how deep it goes.

    The problem might be that the power pack is a "modified sine wave" i.e square wave and AC power needed to charge the car is a sinusoidal wave, you would have to find out if your power pack is a pure sine wave or a modified sine wave.

    some possible solutions that others have mentioned in the comments:::

    3. small emergency/secondary battery with range of about 10-15miles, (like old motorcycle use to have a secondary tank/reserve for a few miles.)
    4. ultra capacitor 'battery'
    5. solar panels on the roof/hood/trunk.. (I am sure charge from panels that day could have gotten him 0.4 miles to the charge station.)

    Even if it did work, it would have taken an hour or more to bring in 4 miles of range from that thing. I wonder if a mobile super charger truck would work? Just something like a tow truck with several batteries on the back and fast charging ports. Just drive up, plug in the car for 10 mins or so, and then have enough range to get to the charging location.

  • @leondrews1
    @leondrews1 4 года назад +1

    If you look at the Package (also shown in this video) you can see that it can deliver up to 1.09 Amps at 110V AC
    So if the tesla pulls 10 Amps at 110V AC the batterypack just shuts off.
    Aditionally when such a batterypack is loaded with it's maximum load, half of the power gets lost through the internel resistance of the battery. So if you somehow manage to charge the Tesla at just 1 Amp you could aditionally cut the batteries capacity in half to figure out, how much the tesla will get.
    If you really want a solution I would recomment a traditional petrol powered generator.
    This thing can deliver enough energy and you would also solve the problem of always needing to make sure that the battery is fully charged in case of an emergancy. You just need to get gas at the nearest gas station.

  • @littlebit670
    @littlebit670 6 лет назад +2

    The Tesla UMC requires a ground connection. The Anker PowerHouse doesn't have a ground pin at all. It's just a plastic hole. That causes the charging error.
    Also, try using a gas powered portable generator. Those don't have a connection to ground, but because they have a proper ground pin, you can use a generator with a neutral bridged to ground, or use an adapter for charging Teslas with generators.

    I have a idea for Tesla but I doubt they will take it what if they made a giant battery kinda like a portable charger and then at your home you can charge it and leave it in your trunk and it gives maybe 50 miles. You can also plug it in your Tesla while the Tesla is charging at a station when the battery is dead aswell.

    How about buying a 2000W inverter, and keeping that in the car. In the event you need just one mile or so, you can hook the inverter to the 12V lead-acid battery, and charge the big lithium battery at 12A and 120V for about 10 minutes. That will give you about one mile of range.
    Incidentally, that 5 gallon gas can will give my car 280 miles of range.

You’d eject a portion of the batteries, roll them with you, suitcase sized or so, maybe connect them to a portable charger, and take a taxi over to somewhere with some electricity to go charge them and bring them back?

This in concert with any large capacity deep cycle battery or even a modest custom 18650 cell battery pack that could be custom made would provide the ample transient current necessary to make the Tesla Happy. The millisecond push of current must be adequate . I hope this is helpful. The Model X has ample storage area for such a "emergency range extender."

    The posts stating you have a ground fault because there is no connection between the earth ground and the neutral line may be correct. But, the main problem is the AC Output rating of the Anker Power House. You showed us the back of the box and the device is only rated for 110 VAC at 1.09 Amps. You need a power inverter with at least a 12 Amp output over a 1 hour period to get 3 or 4 miles of range for the car. I don't know what amperage will be drawn from a 12 VDC power source for that size of inverter.
