AC charging power (AC volts and AC amps) are only present through the diagnostic request. I had my display setup to request these messages when I was parked and I pressed "C". You don't want to be constantly requesting these signals while you're driving, as there really isn't a need. I had AC...

I just read the maximum difference between the cells. So the math I did was I read the min cell voltage diagnostic parameter, and then added the maximum cell difference diagnostic parameter to get the max cell voltage. This was across the whole pack, not individually per cell. I don't remember...

Guys, Per cell voltages (min and max actually) don’t exist on the EV CAN bus natively, only through diagnostic queries. What I did was capture what IDS was sending to get the min and max cell voltages, and then just make a for loop to constantly query that every 100 ms or so. That, as well as...

I went with Red, AWD, sport wheels, black interior, EAP, and FSD.

Just like the quick charger project on my car, this one is coming to a close too. Unfortunately, I was unable to modify the chargers to exceed 360VDC, so I won't be able to use them with my Model 3 or really any other car for that matter. I'll be starting the decommissioning process and trying...

Well guys, it has been a fun 3 years with the mod installed. I'm trading in my FFE on Friday and picking up my Tesla Model 3, so I'll be pulling out all my mods. I really haven't had any issues with quick charging or anything over the time I've had it installed. I learned a lot, spent more than...

Congratulations man! I'll be there soon too, just waiting for my AWD Model 3 delivery.

Breeves, Did you have the recall work performed on the lower battery, getting the connector checked out for cracking and the snow shield installed?

A final update to this project: Has it been a year? I guess so. I have been using my quick charger pretty often on cold days. It's really nice to be able to put in 10% charge in about 3 minutes :lol: . I finally put all five modules into a case. Everything is mounted now and operating...

I think I had to follow the "Cmax" instructions instead of the "Focus" instructions that came with it.

The BECM does do some failure mode checking to ensure excessively highly voltage doesn't occur, but the system is more tailored to regen control than quick charging control. My Arduino ensures cell voltage doesn't exceed 4.15V. However, when you have the car's onboard charger engaged, the car...

I only used one pair of contactors for Chademo. The Brusa is wired on the always hot side of the contactors. Nothing out of the ordinary has really happened. I used the Chademo fairly often in the winter. When it was cold out, I would routinely come home from work, use my home Chademo, and be...

The only thing the warranty covers is if the battery isn't working. Capacity loss is not covered. It says it in the warranty manual: Note: Lithium-Ion Battery Gradual Capacity Loss The Lithium-ion battery (EV battery) will experience gradual capacity loss with time and use (similar to all...

Yeah, the exact same measurements.

I went with Michelin Primacy MXM4. Minimal energy efficiency loss, much better grip.

The connectors weren't the problem so much as the metal plate they are affixed to. This would deform under corrosion and cause the plastic connectors to crack.

As part of the FSA, Ford covers the rental/loaner for the period the battery has to be shipped back (if required).

Piston is the subcontractor who makes the pack for the FFE.

Yeah, a poor design choice permitted salty road spray by the rear driver side tire to coat the area where the lower battery pack connectors are located. They implemented a retrofit spray shield as part of the FSA 16B02 to protect these, however, if the plate that the connectors are bolted to is...

They most likely will not replace the battery for anything but cell failure. I had the same issue. Mine took 6 weeks and 4 days total time out of service. However, this was when the battery shield retrofit just came out, and some time was waiting for that. Hopefully your dealer orders the...
