Do you have a source to start the discussion?

What are the expected temperatures for the time period it will be sitting?

TL;DR you are missing out on actual data that is already summarized as much as I can while presenting the facts about the cells in your truck. I'm not going to summarize it further for you :cautious: So, I recently retired from the Institute (and received my final paycheck with my 8 weeks of...

It is still W = I x V, but once the current stops, the BMS will use the nominal current for the calculation instead of the current before the the charging stops.

Once charging stops, the cell starts a polarization and the voltage will relax. Once again, W = I * V but the BMS will use I normalized instead of actual.

W = I x V. As you hit Vmax, the current will drop, thus the drop in W. BTW, the effects of charging to 100% graphs MAY be dropping tomorrow :wink:

Everyone ask what my plan is...I'm going to sit at my bar, drink beer, and watch sports on the 4 TVs I have mounted. 22 years in the military along with the nearly 20 years at the Institute make retirement at 62 years old possible!

I've read through everything and it's only about trade secrets! Two normalized graphs should not be a problem, but I'm going to wait until my last paycheck where the pay me for 1 week and my 320 hours of vacation just to be safe :wink: Expect to see a thread titled 'It's All About the Delta'...

I will officially retire from the Institute this Friday (Nov15th). I will need to carefully review all the documents I have to sign, but it really seems to be based on trade secrets. I don't think normalized graphs would be covered, so you may get to see the graphs on the deltas in the next...

Torn. I love the truck and have so much fun driving it, but after testing the SKE805A cells in my lab, I question the quality of these cells. Fortunately, I know the weaknesses of the cells and how to still make them last forever (and have posted hints about this in the past). With that said...

FYI, responses like this is why I no longer answer questions or post new information I uncover as we continue to test the SKOne E80.5 cell (used in all of our Lightnings). It seems that those who can see some data from the CAN, with no knowledge of how the data is generated, know SO MUCH more...

I might be inclined to join when there is one in the SATX area...would even consider going to ATX.

Before you do anything, do you know which pins power the BMS , and what voltage is needed to power it? How about the CAN high and low pins? Typically, we use CANalyzer to perform this type of work when we are charging/discharging a full pack outside of the vehicle.

I think I've had 3. Sync was the 2nd in a week, but I don't remember what the 1st one was

xS increased voltage xP increases capacity. A smaller module, as long as it has the same P configuration is not a problem, as it is increasing the voltage.

When I checked through SYNC around 11 CDT, I saw download incomplete. When I got home around 4 CDT and turned the truck off, I saw it had installed. Just a flood of updates lately :p

An extended range module is a 5P configuration...and no, you cannot pull a single cell out without destroying the module.

You can manually lock the J1772...notice the little hole on the top of the handle? You can slip a little padlock through there so that it cannot be removed.

Do you all remember the Internal Research project a couple years ago where my friends in another division had a M-it-M attack on Level 2 charging? Well, they are back at it on DCFC :p Please note that I was not involved with this project, so I can't say how successful they were, but the 1st...

? I can't really go into our cell level testing that is entering its' 9 week (out of 20) but I do have a couple of comments. First, I'm not selling. I'm approaching retirement, I bought the 8 year factory warranty, and I really love the truck...but doubt has crept in. I know my particular...
