I agree with this guess. But they are doing many of these replacements. As one pack comes in they just strip out some cells and add in a few of the better cells that came from the previous bad pack. It would not be surprising that occasionally mistakes were made. We seem to have an actual...

These are two different packs measured on different days. The first one does not have a high voltage deviation and the modules are similar temps. It is the second one, the one that he is currently driving, that has the high voltage deviation. Re-manufactured packs are made by a 3rd party not...

SOH stands for State of Health - it shows the degradation of the battery over the years. SOC stands for State of Charge - it goes down as you drive the car, and then back up as you charge each day. The car shows us SOC as a number between 0% and 100% Without an app you cannot see SOH directly...

This has been seen in the past data. If there is one degraded cell then the module containing that cell will heat up much faster than the others. The heat is caused by higher internal resistance in the degraded cell. But in this case 5 of the 8 modules are much hotter than the other 3. Look at...

Regen braking will fail if it goes above the power limit the battery can accept. This happens much more often with a heavily degraded battery; especially when one cell is much worse than the others. There is no relationship between this failure and SOC, nor to the speed you are going. But in my...

Kimdavi - thanks for adding the cell images above. Some questions : 1. What do you mean by 'original battery pack'. ( The original pack for a 27kWh Soul is not subject to this recall because it does not contain E400 cells. ) 2. How and when did you measure error code P1AD1. 3.Why do you state...

Elbilmek the Norwegian company seen fixing a Nissan Leaf above have stated : There is also a company in Hungary that is offering 44kWh replacement batteries. Link to Facebook in Hungarian : e-Service I know nothing about this company so until someone who has had this replacement done reviews...

Here's a repost from March 2017 on this thread. :- Charging Fault error. Hope all of you with OBC problems get a repair done quickly. The original error screen associated with this problem is 'Charger Error' (Originally written here as "Charging Fault error") The error screen 'External Charger...

Ed - Hope your car gets fixed. I am really surprised that this is the first time your OBC has failed. From this thread you can see how common this fault was. I have also just seen that a recall took place for the cars built in 2015. SERVICE ACTION: OBC REPLACEMENT (SA307) Maybe they didn't tell...

Yes. No Limp Mode. Everything normal. 🤞

The link for Kia Soul EV HVAC error codes has changed. I can't edit the previous post so ignore the link there. Kia Soul EV: Controller / Heater & A/C Control Unit (FATC) Repair procedures

For the original 27kWh pack we have the AVTA site laboratory data. - ( this site was taken down by the Trump administration a few weeks after taking power. in early 2017 ) Total Energy Capacity in kWh = Nominal Voltage * Total Capacity Ah = 360 * 85 = 30.6 kWh Usable Energy Capacity in kWh =...

kimdavi : that's a really large cell deviation for a battery that is only 4 months old. (0.28 volts at 80% charge) My car's battery was changed 4 1/4 years ago and the variance between the maximum and minimum cell voltage was 0.10 volts. From your range data I'm guessing that your usable...

Really. I didn't know they had changed this for the 2018. So what happens if you have two timers set. One at 7pm and one at 11pm. You plug in at 7.30pm. My car will start charging at 11pm. If I plug in after 11pm it would wait until 7pm the next day, This has happened a few times and is quite...

You have the same replacement pack as mine. 37510-E4200 Pack Assy-Battery. It is recalled. If you have the invoice then just phone Kia and let them know. Presumably the reason you haven't had a recall notice is that they don't know about your replacement. ( They should know because they paid...

Here's my possible explanation as to why KIa may be offering buybacks to US owners who have gone into limp mode after this recall. If the trigger for getting a replacement battery due to fire-safety risk is a Voltage Deviation above 0.14V. then a lot of re-manufactured batteries are going to...

There's a really good video of a battery replacement by carwow. Everything here is done by the book. All safety procedures adhered to. It's very unlike the Ukraine battery replacement videos we see. At the start of the video we see the wooden crate containing the replacement battery. It looks...

A correction to my post earlier. I misheard the tech guy. I just checked with him. Supposedly a new battery will be authorized if the Voltage Deviation is above 0.14V. Whereas the previous value I gave 1.4V was impossible to trigger, this value seems really easy. Let's wait and see what actually...

One. The bike path around the coast is 240km. You can't drive a car on some of it. From November 2015 - What's your Real world actual range?

No. I have not seen this happen. The BMS does not allow the battery to go below the point where the curve drops steeply.
