So BatteryKing are you saying you have a separate module in addition to the HPS battery itself which plugs directly into the DB9 data port?BatteryKing said:I have been in contact with LiFeBatt they have been very informative. My understanding now is the pack should be on the charger for 40 minutes after the light on the charger goes green where the charger will be in CV (constant voltage) mode slowly balancing the cells with low currents. They also told me that the pack has a micro-controller on board that actively tries to balance the cells and my particular pack has an LVC (low voltage cut-off) circuit to prevent severe under-voltage events from occurring. This combined knowledge greatly increases my confidence in being able to properly manage this pack in the future.
Lifebatt should of provided you with a diagram showing all the pinouts of the DB9 data connectors and what they do.BatteryKing said:As another note does anybody understand how the DB9 connector on this HPS pack work and what electrical specifications it coheres to?
BatteryKing said:When it comes to the LVC switch, LiFeBatt claims its newer packs have this technology integrated and in general the VMS system has been updated multiple times since they started selling their packs. What is your knowledge on these more recent claims from LiFeBatt and the management electronics in their packs?
Also what kind of agreements do you have with the factory as opposed to LiFeBatt if you don't mind me asking?
miro13car said:Maybe it is not known
my Soneil charger was authorized by Don Harmon to be used for HPS pack.
I knew nothing about BMI that I could buy from Armin.
After my second LB charger Don became unpatient said he would not offer chargers anymore, sent me to authorized contact at Soneil.
