Good info.. ok so i’m Going to try it. I’ve successfully both soldered and spot welded to lithium cells in the past rebuilding cordless tool packs and such. I feel I could remove the Alta fused wire, burnish the tiny plated contact point on the PCB and solder it back with a piece of single...
Ok so can anyone actually prove that the soldered aluminum connections are actually fuseable links by design? I’ve got some similar gauge aluminum mig wire that i’m Going to test for it’s current threshold. Just looking to see if anyone has more specifics on this or have seen a link between the...
Yes, mine is capable (xantrex lab grade and current calibration 0-300v power supply) but I just did not know I had to be that close! I’ll have to go back at it!
Wow nice software! That’ll save some time.. I have been doing it the hard way and after reading some of those threads I would have brought the parallel groups much closer..
I’m going back into @Cody129 battery and going to meter and chart out all 4 modules to determine how many are driving his imbalance that is throwing the fault. When I “hand balanced the pack I had every cell within .1v and every parallel group within .2-.3v. I thought that would be sufficient...
Yes, i’m Thinking that I may have a creative way to replace a bonded cell. I also saw recently posted a few internal batt parts (with no cells) that I may try to get my hands on when I get some money free. I’m not going to be able to duplicate any “fuseable” links so likely any individual cells...
I’m working with Cody, a local guy who also has an Alta and may end up attempting some cell replacements on his batt soon (his bike is in my garage and has a pack fault which won’t allow above 50% charge).
If I make any headway i’ll Post about it. I’m not a software guy but have spotwelded...
Have been in these packs a few times and I can say it will take some engineering. The electronics on the chassis side are fully dependent on the electronics inside the battery.
The controller is looking at all kinds of data from the pack:
*Total HV
*12vdc output (handled by the step down...
Temp sensor bypassing or reprogramming the BCU to be less conservative is the answer in my opinion for those of you going limp mode during racing from pack temp.
I’ll look again at the pack (have one coming back apart next week likely) to see how the temp thermistors are set up (if nobody has...
