Thanks for the teardown, would be nice if you showed a little bit more how the cooling works, so to understand which cells are better cooled, which worse.
Hi Greg. Do you know where is the CMU 2 in the battery pack? It has imbalance in this module and it stop charging after couple of minutes up to 1 hour. I want to replace this module. I will really appreciate if you help me . Regards Darek
Thanks for the Video, Its a subject that I will have to look into in the years to come. Are these battery packs in good condition, or do they contain Dud cells? would they be fine to install in a vehicle? It was really nice to her an Australian accent on this subject.
Hi and thanks for watching. I have not found an issue with any of the battery packs I have sourced. Which is probably due to me choosing the packs carefully, making sure they are from vehicles with low mileage and have not been damaged i.e. in accidents etc. The LEV40 and LEV50 are amazing lithium ion cells, and can be used for all kinds of projects.
@@gregoinc4987 So is it possible to measure voltage right there on the salvage yard on the power terminals before opening the pack, so you don't buy a flood damaged or shorted battery?
@@TomichNaumich Hi again. We refer to the blue batteries as the LEV40 or LEV50 lithium ion cells. Where are you located, as I may know someone that could supply the individual cells.
Grego Inc hi could you please call me perhaps regarding Imiev lev50 cells and or battery pack components (perhaps surplus) I'm building a Imiev based racer 🤘🤘 cheers 🍻 p.s I'm in Adelaide Australia my number 0418899907 👍
I don't have pictures yet. It was just yesterday my car died, then I saw wierd values with canIon. Cells 61 thru 68 were at high voltages (maybe 325V) and temperature censors 46 thru 51 showing 205°C. There aren't any repair shops nearby so its a DIYer. Any help is welcome and much apriciated
Hey there, not sure I follow your question? The case surrounding the 8 x LEV50 cells is plastic, are you wanting to know the measurements of the case around the 8 cells?
Hello greg Excellent video and thanks for the information, I ask you, I am fixing my MIEV but it seems that the OMRON brand contactor reference G9EA-2-CA-M1 is failing, I would appreciate it if you tell me if you sell them or where I can get it and If I need a photo, where can I send it to you?
@@gregoinc4987 Hello Greg, We are located in Bogota, Colombia but we think that if you have the functional piece we will buy it for you and pay shipping costs, I would appreciate it if you are interested in giving me a quote.
And I'm also bothering you, I damaged 4 4v 50 ah lithium ion batteries, they're from the miev, if you have them functional, could you sell them to me, since I can't find them anywhere in Latin America.

Nice beginnings 😎👍
This is really usefull, thanks for showing us!

I wonder if they can get more kw in the same size battery pack as energy density has gone up so much
sorry but what can you say about miev 10 kWht battery pack with lythium titonate cells ... are they really much less degradable than 16 kWht ones ?

Good job! Who can provide this kind of service in Europe please? HELP!!!!!
My iMiev has this fault code P1A44 bmu leak detected , causing it to run in safety mode , is the bmu located inside the battery pack it selfe ?

What is the OEM voltage output of the battery pack?
How are they configured in series and parallel what is the voltage of each module?
Thanks for the video! Do you know, is it possible to buy Lev 50 elements?
Hi there, and thank you for watching. When you say LEV50 elements, are you meaning parts?
Grego Inc yes. I mean little blue batteries of what this big batterie consist of, or maybe you know where could I buy whole batterie aftermarket)

Thanks for the information!
I need to repair my battery, I think it might be a faulty CMU. Do you sell them or know where to find replacement parts?
Hi Mario, glad you enjoyed it. If you can send me a photo of the part you are seeking I will see what I can do to help.
I don't have pictures yet. It was just yesterday my car died, then I saw wierd values with canIon. Cells 61 thru 68 were at high voltages (maybe 325V) and temperature censors 46 thru 51 showing 205°C.

What year/model is the EV please?
C-zero from 2011
Roller time is 8.43, what is the size of the installation site of the LEV50-8 battery, plastic case, air force case?
Hey there, not sure I follow your question? The case surrounding the 8 x LEV50 cells is plastic, are you wanting to know the measurements of the case around the 8 cells?
@@gregoinc4987 yes, as well as from cell assembly to the top battery cover
What did you do with removed batteries? If it was for a solar project, can you share what you did.
The cells that were removed ended up in a number of projects, for example a remote telemetry unit that was solar powered.
Is it possible to replace the batterie packs by lifepo pack?
Extremely unlikely. The design of the packs is proprietary and utilises Mitsubishi components.
Yes
Thank YOU.

I heard Buzz bars
Constantly , maybe is antipodean thing? Changed to bus bars occasionally later.
You still have those contactors (~ min 7:57)
Yes, we have multiple of those units.
@@gregoinc4987 I would be intereseted in buying one...
@@adrizi13 let me come back to you. It might just be easier for me to put it on ebay. Did you have a price you would be happy with?
@@gregoinc4987 Shipping will also be a topic, because you'll be sending them to Europe.. ;-) i would say around 100 AUSD?
@@adrizi13 No probs... That's cool. Let me put something on eBay and we can go from there :-)
