    OPENEVSE charging on TT-30

    I think I asked this before but I can't fine my post. I built an OpenEVSE Kit - Level1 & Level2 50A. What do I need to do to charge on a TT-30 at 20A? I recall GlennD posted something on this subject but for the life of me, I can't find it. thanks

    Pre-Climate: Cinfigure it to work

    So I tried a couple times to set Pre-Climate to start at 6:30AM. I'm new at this so I may have missed something. I made sure the temp was set for the heat and the defroster on before powering off. Not sure if that matters. Nothing ever happened. The battery charge was full on bot times I tried...

    I got myself a Juicebox 60a

    UPDATE: I upgraded my Jucebox 60A j1772 cable to a 50A and had emotowerks do a "Kit Tuneup" and now it charges faster than 15A @240Vac....

    Good luck! Let us all know what they say. Looking forward to a dual charger. :P

    I have a spare j1772 cable 30A

    I had my Juicebox upgraded with a 60A j1772 24Ft cable so I have my old one rated at 30A ~16-18ft. Is it pretty easy to make this into a j1772 extension? Or is there a place I can send it to for the conversion for cheap? :D Thanks

    Volt & Amp meter to replace charging "blinking lights"

    Can you post pics on where you tapped the power and put the current loop and more importantly how to get to them? I'd like to try it myself but I don't want to go in totally blind....lol I like pics so the more on the steps you took the better. Thanks

    Anyone hear about this company??

    http://www.enginer.us/products/conversion_kit.php Seems like something one could use to augment a battery pack with for a small bump in range. The voltage should be close to our pack at some point of SOC below 80%?.......maybe? Anyway, I'm more interested in their DC DC converter for my purposes.

    maximum charge amperage on 120vac?

    What's the maximum 120vac charge amperage of our Rav4's? I've read threads about charging om TT-30 but wasn't sure what amperage rate the Rav would suckup. Thanks

    I got myself a Juicebox 60a

    @GlennD, Aw crap, sorry to hear bro! Ummm.........where did you get your license plate frame? :D

    I got myself a Juicebox 60a

    I finally got the time to install the amp meter. It looks like the juicbox is only charging at 15A at 240vac. So I followed the instructions in the docs and the emails emotorwerks sent me but no change no matter where the R10 pot was positioned. Damn thing!! It has to be the juicebox either...

    60kWh software limited battery swap?

    Tony, do you have some good high res photo's of the RAV4 pack opened up? :D

    I got myself a Juicebox 60a

    Therin lies my second problem......lol I confirmed with Emotorwerks via email and pics and verified the J1772 and it's cable is rated at only 30A. They also indicated and verified that the R10 variable pot is where I need to adjust the charge current rate. So Now maybe GlennD has a 24+ foot...

    I got myself a Juicebox 60a

    I am pretty sure it is set to a reduced level of 240vac @ 13-16A but have not checked it yet. I appreciate the offer of the analyzer but I am up north in Elk Grove just south of Sacramento. I had the Electricians install a 14-60r in my garage with a new breaker of 60A. I should be good even...

    I got myself a Juicebox 60a

    From the PCB inside, it looks like R10 is my goto variable resistor for the adjustment. I haven't tweked it yet. Hopefully I'll have time today. Does anyone have experience on this model EVSE? If I were to guess, it's one of the first they came out with at the 60A rate about 2-3 years ago? Thanks

    OK thanks. I found this documentation and it states theres a trim pot to adjust...

    I got myself a Juicebox 60a

    This Juicebox, like the others doesn't have any monitoring indicators. I'm going to rig one on it tomorrow and take my pack down by 16 bars and monitor it's charge rate. I was expecting at least 6.6KW charge rate. :?

    I got myself a Juicebox 60a

    I just had an electrician wire me a 14-60r socket in my garage to my service panel and measured 240vac. I plugged in the Juicebox 60A I bought from someone who had it for his Nissan Leaf. Not sure why he bought such a high power EVSE but since he sold his Leaf, I bought it from him. I plugged...

    Using a leaf charger

    I think I read somewhere here that a portable leaf evse wont work on our rav4. Is this true? If so, is there a mod to make it work? Iv'e been seeing some popup on ebay for about $180 and thought if I bought one I could have it upgraded........as long as it works that is. Thanks
