    One has to be VERY careful when replacing a lead-acid battery with any battery that has a BMS. A BMS will make a battery go open circuit when max charging voltage is met or exceeded. Many voltage regulators meant for lead-acid will not be able to control voltage when the load is removed.

    My Bolt's 12v battery (lead-acid) has never been a problem, so I wouldn't call it crappy, but I'll remember this video when I need a new one. Looking online just now, I can get a 12v lead-acid battery from Duracell at BatteriesPlus (which has a store nearby) for less than $100 and an LFP battery with a 10 year warranty at WalMart for less than $200, so $300 for a Na-Ion battery doesn't sound like a steal. By the time I need one in a few years, maybe it will be.

      Lead Acid batteries last in Texas for about 3 years, 6 months. It's the heat.
      They run about $160 these days. So this battery would need to last 7 years to break even.
      For now, I just mark the date on the battery and replace it when it's over 3 years old and winter is approaching.

      A 3S battery would the operate between 4.5V to 12.0V.

      As long as the battery voltage range is greater than the car, no battery damage if you drain it. Normal operation should be easier to maintain with greater energy capacity than century old lead battery tech. And it has a BMS! Better cold weather energy. Only a little more expensive than lead.

I've used LFP in ICE and now EV for better efficiency/lower charging system strain, better stereo, weight savings and not have to worry about it for 10+ years.

    Hey Sam, I wouldn't regard $500.00 AUS Dollars as cheap for a 12 volt battery replacement. Because an EV has no need for a high CCA performance you could fit a 12 volt motorcycle battery, and it would be fine. It could be a half or even a quarter the size of a conventional dinosaur car battery. About 2 years ago Tesla changed their model 3 and model y accessory battery to a very tiny 12 volt lithium Ion battery. I didn't make a note of it's specs, but I saw it in Teslal Time News. Even a Toyota Hybrid could use a tiny lithium Ion 12 volt because they don't have a starter either.

    Just had my Tesla 12V replaced today. The Tesla tech said they are constantly coming out to replace aftermarket batteries that are self-installed. After market batteries are based on different chemistries, as the Tesla internal car electronics are the wrong BMS and tend to cause these batteries to fail. Is this a true statement or just a way for Tesla to justify their service?
    On a related note, I have a 2021 MY still under warranty, so my cost was $0 for mobile service versus $300-400 + me doing the work for after-market. Makes zero financial sense to go after-market when under warranty.

    Uh for $300 I can buy three top brand lead acid batteries here in the US. So this is not a savings unless they last over 15 years..... as leads acid last on average 5 to 7 years.
    Also key here is can they be jumped from another car or jump device for some reason? The lead acid can be but Tesla's lithium battery cannot be. Tesla's battery can only be "jumped" for 10 seconds in an attempt to give it enough juice to allow the doors to unlock and the car to turn on....allowing the large drive battery to flow current to the small lithium one. Then it has to be replaced or looked at by Tesla service to discover what happened.
    All of these factors need to be taken into consideration when you are thinking about putting in a new battery type.

Normally different battery chemistries require different chargers. ALSO: what if you leave your lights on by accident and the Sodium Battery gets fully drained, will that damage the battery? For example in LIPO each cell should never go below 3v or the cell gets damaged. THANKS

They can store energy in the day from solar panels, and with a dusk to dawn feature slowly discharge that energy into the main battery for the same.

    The lead acid on my 2021 Model Y failed a few months ago. Tesla replaced it no problem. But when I asked about changing to a lithium 12-volt they said it's not possible, because the computer system is programmed specifically to work with the lead acid. Anyone else hear this, and does it sound correct? If so, it'd be the same problem with the sodium, right?

    • @SolAce-nw2hf
      @SolAce-nw2hf Месяц назад +3

      LFP has a pretty flat charge/discharge curve, meaning the voltage stays the same no matter if it's charged to 20% or 80%.
      Sodium-Ion works a lot more like lead-acid in this regard. You can pretty much calculate the state of charge based on the voltage.
      But a lead-acid battery is very cheap unless you buy it from a premium car brand. Just order one online and change it yourself. It can save you about 2/3 of the cost if you feel confident with this DIY job.

    As climate change disrupts food and water supplies, food companies are boosting their marketing campaigns for “ultraprocessed food” and sugary drinks, says Lindsey Smith Taillie, associate professor of nutrition at the University of North Carolina, in an article for the New York Times. She writes: “What’s clear is that the companies are taking advantage of worsening environmental conditions to increase their profits.” She continues by noting that when it becomes hard to find drinking water, many turn to soft drinks. Smith Taillie adds that as extreme weather batters food and water supplies, the junk food industry is likely to keep “bombarding vulnerable communities”, making it even more important for governments to boost their efforts to make sure everyone has access to healthy food and clean water to stave off a public health crisis. She concludes: “There’s no better time to rein the sales of these foods in - the hotter future will only make us further dependent on them.”

    sorry bro, i don't get your point. Here in Europe an averge car battery cost about 100 - 150 USD, your proposal is roughly 2 -3x higher, so we are not talking about price parity at all, not even close.

    Sodium definitely not ready for prime time. As at now charge rates are slow. Useabke capacity for longevity is about 40to80% as bad as lead acid and weight is higher than lfp.

    Good replacement in a BEV, PHEV, Hybrid.
    The warranty is very low for a battery the should last 10yrs, you can get a better warranty on a lead acid battery.
    New car battery warranty is usually 1-2yrs and Lexus is 4yrs which is 1yrs long than the whole car warranty, very strange.

      Sure, it can work but you wont get full capacity because of the voltage range (6V-17.2V). I hear sodium goes all the way to 0V and is shipped at that voltage. I thinking more along the lines of replacing caravan lead acid for inverter than a starter battery in ICE car where capacity is not an issue.

      Lithium and lead acid are Not compatible without circuit modifications
      Voltage is slightly higher on lithium and cause degradation of electric components designed to work on lead acid voltage. The addition of a buck converter (voltage reducer) solves this issue. Look into the RV channels lead acid to lithium upgrades
      Without knowing the exact change/discharge characteristics of sodium it's hard to say whether its a straight swap or not

      @@DanielBrownOre RV community are reporting reduced life of equipment due to lithium needs to be charged to a higher voltage to achieve a full charge
      Sensitive equipment have a voltage tolerance +/- 5-10% off of the lead acid charged battery which if broken can lead to premature sensitive electronic failure or poor/noisy running conditions
      The solution appears to be installing a voltage regulator on the load side of the battery to allow lithium to reach the voltage to achieve full charge while not allowing that voltage to cause excess conditions on equipment designed to run on lead acid full charge voltage
      From memory lithium needs just over 15v to achieve a full charge, at lead acid voltage it gets to about 40-60% charge

    I had Optima battery in my Chevy Blazer fo 35 years. It was US-made, and apparently it finally gave up after all of the liquid(acid) had completely gone from the medium. 35 years the same battery, couple of time drained completely empty by accident, and using the winch had also put strain on it. A lead acid battery. I replaced it with a Mexican made one, and put similar Optima to my Hummer H3. As you can see, I do not fancy "four wheeled Ladyshaves". Only real cars.
    So there are lead acid batteries that last. Not expecting 35 years from a Mexican made, though... If one uses EV for those few years, they are disposable things after all and a risk as used ones, the lead acid battery, if a good one, will last that Odysseus*s Voyage. After that, the next car may be ICE-one, so then it is time to get a battery that will last, say ten years. My Mexican Optimas are now few years old, so it is interesting to see if they last the rest of my life, I am over 60 now...
