You could build your own BMS though.

For those of us who don't live in Arizona or Dubai 70F = 21C is warm not cold. You seem to be saying that your car's GOM shows a higher range at 21C than when the temp is hotter. This is consistent with my car. Best values occur in the spring and fall when temps are around 21C. Lower values in...

I misread this as cleverly invented nonsense and assumed you were making a dig at how nowadays people rely on AI generated text. It superficially looks good but is actually stupid.

We have no way of simply reading the ROMID of the BMS. Obviously there is a PID for this because the KIA software does read it. If some hacker groups have found it they have never shared it openly. Kia has changed the BMS software progressively with each update. None of the DIY OBD tools used...

Have you read this thread :- Latest E400 BMS update appears to have reduced usable capacity. Did the glitch you are noticing begin after the 'fire-safety' recall?

Am not surprised that Malaysia was a scam. I recently posted about a similar scam site in Indonesia. It's really good to hear that an old 2018 pack will fit right into a 2015. Congrats.

Okay. there is something strange going on. The main battery is normally 'disconnected' while the car is off. Only the 12V system stays on. So my suggestions for recharging the 12V system or re-balancing cells are not normal. To recharge the 12V system the car needs to be on and have some load eg...

Here's a really great YouTube video in two parts of a repair from Ukraine. If someone who speaks Ukrainian could explain in depth it would be really useful. It seems to show a complete tear down of the battery pack, with everything then tested "in the lab". Replacement cells of a different size...

Yes. This is an important safety feature.

I have two 2015 Soul EVs. Both have now had replacement batteries under warranty. The first process was very easy. The second just easy. My experience is not the common one, but let's hope it will be yours too. My white car got a new battery 5 years ago. My reading of 69.5% SOH matched the...

You don't give us enough info to make a guess. Examples Do you live in Northern Canada or Alaska? My guess - battery heater. Do you live in Dubai? My guess - battery fan. At what SOC was the car when this happened? Do you live on top of a hill? Have you looked at the data for the 12V battery...

Ouch! Any idea how this happened? Just the part is $2,848.02 :- Gear Assembly - Kia (44500-18410) - 2015-2019 Kia Soul EV Here's one for 5000 Euros. :- New Transmission on 2016 Soul EV On your previous thread there's one from Canada for $4000Cad :- 2015 Soul EV Transmission Flush? There's...

How is the range on your 'new' car. Does the real range match the expected range on the GOM. Is it more or less than you expected?

Do be optimistic. You have a pack with new E400 cells. These have a better longevity than the older E375 cells in your original car. Your new pack 377510-E4203 Pack Assy-Battery. Current cost $25484.52 I got my new battery a few weeks ago on Oct 18, 2024. I too had weird issues with the old...

Thanks for the info. I agree it is not a good deal The 64kWh E-Niro is a better car and will still have 3 or 4 years warranty left on the battery.

I don't use ABRP. I haven't weighed my car either before or after the replacement. I assume the 96 E400 cells weigh slightly more than the 96 E375 cells. So yes there maybe a weight difference. (The assumption is based on weight of 2015 pack = 277kg vs weight of 2018 pack = 290kg) The bigger...

For those newcomers who want to have a simple understanding of this issue without having to read this thread or the many other 'car stuck at dealer for ten months' threads here is a video. If you've been on this site before don't bother because there is nothing new here.

Brilliant report of your repair. Thanks for posting. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Some previous info from this site includes this Ukrainian YouTube video For the previous thread see :- Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) firmware : (November 2023 - another...

No. This is false. SoH is a measure of usable capacity. It can never go above 100% The 'early years' buffer is a portion of the total capacity that is not available at the start. This is achieved by stopping charging at a lower voltage when the car is new. eg 4.10V At a later date the voltage...
