Video Summary
Here are the findings from the YouTube video review:- The electric car featured has a 1.4 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery.
- Some lithium-ion battery cells can be seen through the air inlet.
- There's a service plug grip, requiring high-voltage gloves for removal.
- The DC-to-DC converter is part of the battery assembly, and it is serviceable.
- A battery energy control module (BECM) exists and can be serviced separately.
- A high voltage battery junction block is present. It is not sure if that could be serviced separately.
- There are two stacks of battery cells, totaling 76, with 281.2 volts.
- The battery is air-cooled, with air pulled through it by a fan. Air is also pulled into the DC-to-DC converter for cooling.
- There is a battery vent on the other side of the battery.
- Six temperature sensors are built into the battery.
- A key action is to disable the high-voltage system before any work on it. The process includes turn off the key or the power button, disconnect the 12 volt battery, and disconnect the service plug grip.
- Every bit of current is sent to the inventor driving the HF35 transaxle and the DCA to DC converters has to go through the service plug.
- Individual battery cells heat up during charging or when providing current for the transaxle or DC-to-DC converter.
