How did you measure this "leak"?
Depends on the battery level, anywhere from 350-400V

Measured with a multimeter from any battery terminal to the chassis ground.

Tesla charger HV leak?

A few weeks ago I discovered that my first conversion had a high voltage leak (If I measure the terminal of a battery to chassis ground there's voltage). I started tearing it apart a bit and didn't find where the leak was coming from. I assumed it was in the pack I hadn't taken apart yet. I put the ...

Re: Tesla's NACS and the Future of Fast Charging in North America


Will share the pcap file when I get back to the lab, in around two weeks. It is an incomplete session, time out after 12 sec at pre-charge. The session is to find out if Tesla close DC contactor during simulated charging, but it does not.

Regarding your plan to build an adaptor, is it passive ...

Re: Tesla's NACS and the Future of Fast Charging in North America


From what I have captured during model Y charging session, Tesla does not support ISO 15118, so no suppory for plug and charge at the moment.


Did you capture the communication between the charger and the car? Any chance you have that somewhere I could look at? I was about to build an adapter to ...

Re: Gen 1 vs Gen 2 BMS help

Some extra info I forgot to add: at one point, these slaves were balancing correctly and had all the cells within .01v. One day though I discovered that the slaves appeared to be unbalancing the packs from each other (even though nothing in my code changed). Like the large battery cells read 4.0v ...

Re: Gen 1 vs Gen 2 BMS help


Did you check if there are any wiring differences for them?


As far as the traces on the pcbs? They appear identical, just different colors. As far as the slave wiring itself I don't really have a way to look. The red slave that came on the spare battery I bought was missing all the wiring so I ...

I'm not sure actually. Here's photos of the two boards. My test setup is just my VCU wired directly to 1 slave instead of the whole set of slaves so I can try 1 ...

1.6V is good, 2.1V might point towards a dodgy connection between sensor and board. The file is also correct. The LED flashed initially before attempting to upgrade?
