10 kW
Any thoughts on this? I don't know the competence of the user.
" Maybe you can help me understand something. I have a 2 kW segment from a Chevy volt salvage that was a 2013 model that I bought two years ago. I recently started checking individual cells to hook up the battery balancer and I noticed that there are only 11 cells in the pack which is supposed to have 12 cells. One of the cells is shorted to the one next to it so two cells together read the voltage of one cell. Visually, everything looks good and I don't understand how this type of thing could happen. Any thoughts?
I can describe it. Using a voltmeter I clamp black to battery neg. using red probe I travel along battery and check voltages. I get 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44. 44 volts is battery positive. One of the cells reads no voltage measured across it. All of the rest are 4 volts. (I'm simplifying the numbers). I tried to charge the 0v cell but it doesn't hold any charge. It is exactly 0 volts, I think it is shorted. "
