    Replacing the single cells in the battery pack?

    okay - my bad eyesight. So it isn't a new set of cells. You are totally wrong though about the way OBD apps work. If you want to know more try looking for my codes for using Torque Pro. Or read through the original Soul Spy thread. ( Not the same as the SoulEVSpy app thread. ) I don't recommend...

    Replacing the single cells in the battery pack?

    The sticker on the EPCU is the correct one for your original car. 12.2E That you OBD now has a sticker 11.1E suggests that they put in a re-manufactured old box to replace the failed original one. Most people got a completely new box when their OBD failed. But this is an expensive option if all...

    Replacing the single cells in the battery pack?

    There are two other possible explanations. 1/ The app you are using doesn't support this version of the BMS. ( Probable ) 2/ They didn't connect the voltage sensors to 4 of the cells. Maybe they used the wrong wiring harness. ( Improbable )

    Replacing the single cells in the battery pack?

    I am not convinced by your math. The layout of a 96 cell pack has module heights of 7, 5, 5, 7 This pack has a stack of 8 at the back. The yellow sticker has date 2023/05/19 suggesting this is a brand new replacement pack. You have lucked out!

    Replacing the single cells in the battery pack?

    2. Talking about the Battery Assembly Pack codes. This is shown on the sticker on the outside of the battery box. E4000 is an original 27kWh battery pack without a heater. Contains 96 E375 cells. E4050 is an original 27kWh battery pack with a heater. Contains 96 75Ah cells. E4200 and E4250 are...

    Replacing the single cells in the battery pack?

    Well there's still a lot I don't know. All this data is confusing. 1. The OBC AFAIK there is no problem charging a 27kWh pack from a 2018 OBC, nor a 30kWh pack from a 2016 OBC. The only data the OBC gets from the BMS is stop, start and voltage required. In the Charging Fault Error thread we...

    Replacement battery log: 2016 EV+ @ 43k mi.

    Yes. It has been done. Here's one with a Bolt EV pack.

    Replacing the single cells in the battery pack?

    Correct. The external dimensions of the case and the external connections are identical. Read this thread for a case study on how to do this swap. If you are a programmer and have plenty of time to spare then the VMCU in the front of the car could be re-programmed to alter the driving dynamics...

    Got new E4000 battery and BMS for Soul 2015 under warranty

    As always my reality is probably the best case scenario. Replacement 1. I drove my white car to the main service center in an industrial park in the city an hour away. It took 3 hours to complete. I stayed and watched the whole thing. I drove home. Replacement 2. I drove my blue car to the...

    P0706 transmisson fault code

    I doubt the part itself is broken. More likely a loose wire or fuse. Any mechanic should be able to diagnose this fairly quickly.

    P0706 transmisson fault code

    No one on this forum has ever reported this error. From www.engine-codes.com From KIA Parts Superstore the cost of a new Automatic Transmission Gear Position Sensor is $130CAD

    The Infamous BMS Update: Virtual Reality or Miraculous Healing?

    There is a simpler explanation. The BMS update resets all the internal data to zero. The BMS will think the car is new for a few days until it relearns the real values over a few charge cycles.

    Replacing the single cells in the battery pack?

    Balancing and Calibration are two different things. See - Battery Calibration It is Calibration that needs a full charge cycle.

    Got new E4000 battery and BMS for Soul 2015 under warranty

    Makes me realise how lucky I am to have a local Kia Service. When I turn up without an appointment the mechanic will come over to say hello. He asks what's wrong and if it takes less than a minute he will do it instantly. He's friendly, capable, and is happy for me to photograph everything. This...

    Got new E4000 battery and BMS for Soul 2015 under warranty

    The official Kia manual for checking the battery SOH is here - Extracting BMS data for range concerns prior to performing updates It takes about 30 seconds to do this. It is important that they understand the word 'before'.

    Replacing the single cells in the battery pack?

    ksoul2084 I mostly disagree with your pessimism. This is the best DIY battery repair we have heard of. Replacing the old pack with a complete replacement means all the cells are the same age and have the same wear. This is a better approach than 'mixing and matching' taken by some DIY projects...

    Replacing the single cells in the battery pack?

    I moved this reply from the other thread. These are not the codes for the cells. E4050 is a 27kWh battery pack with a heater. Used E375 cells that are 37.5Ah E4300 is a 30kWh battery pack without a heater. Used E400 cells that are 40.0Ah Unless the older pack has been changed to use newer cells...
