Welcome back, there’s a 240z featured on The Late Brake show with a Lexus conversion running 600v so someone has found a solution to the charging question. Car was converted by silent classics.
good to see you again. I remember from a evtv episode where they used an ac inverter to run a 110v heater. When the battery got to a preset voltage it shut off. Take the voltage from the lowest pack and bring the others down to that. A separate device could be used to monitor and shut off a load.
Figure out or try to run 700v through the Lexus inverter? I saw a 77.4 kwh EV6 battery for sale in Salt Lake City for like $3k, and was very very tempted to go get it, but unsure if I could re-wire it down to ~400v from the 800v setup. Looked doable in video's I've seen, but I'm not confident yet in my ability to do so.
the other challenge is how do we charge a 700 volt or 800 volt battery pack, neither the Chevy Volt nor the Mitsubishi Outlander charger are capable of such a task
Thanks for the explanation, do you know what the actual capacity is as they're used?! And is it pot luck when you buy them?!! Looks pretty clean, your new garage that is!
Hello. Since you've seen these two batteries side by side, any chance you can tell me if they are interchangeable? If I have a BMW 530e with an SP06 battery, is it possible to put an SP41 in this car, at least in terms of brackets and dimensions, the electronic control unit issues go to the back of my mind.
some guy retrofitted the sp41 into a freaking i8 and did 0 coding just custom wiring and worked. however he doesn't seem to be able to get the full range because of the lack of coding. It will work but still need to figure out the programming side

thank you I will go check it out 👍🏼

Welcome back…you have made my afternoon! 😊
There is also 24kWh pack from BMW X5 pack (G05, 2019 -> present) with 12 modules and SBOX with 350A fuse and bigger contactors. SP44
😳👍🏼
doing the lords work man
Greg! You have returned
with sum motivation from your latest truck videos
Newer 330e gen2 packs are six module 12kWh.
thank you so much, I did not know that, I think it's the BMW 3 Series (G20) then

Good to see you back, Do you the part number for the comms cable to the S-box, I got a s-box but no cables , Thanks
please check the first link in the description it may be somewhere towards the end of that thread
Great video. Any idea if the capacities can be increased without affecting the form factor?
its a different BMS so I doubt it
"I mean why not" :)

thanks and I think those specs are on that last page of the video

i can confirm this weekend, physically probably but its a different BMS and Safety Box so I'm sure the car will throw a million codes

Do you also use Lexus rx450h transmission with the electric motors inside?! I've seen people do that.
not the rx, you got any links
