  1. I didn't see this in person but they were posted on a local FB group here in NZ, Kona 64kWh battery. 62312259_2332565493468656_4539023211957846016_o.jpg 62420644_2332565426801996_927951396815241216_o.jpg 62511981_2332565436801995_2321739469155205120_o.jpg 62579708_2332565490135323_3820212481662386176_o.jpg

    That's really interesting. Thanks for posting! I wonder how serviceable the battery pack is? If one cell goes bad, can it be removed and replaced?

    Thanks for sharing. So it looks as if the actual battery is 64kWh rather than 67kWh I read in some forum.

  6. You can pick any number you like. One EV site says it's 67 but when I queried them by email it turns out they simply guessed at 5% over. Geez...
    In the pic above it say 360 V, so at 180 Ah (Hyundai's number) that's 64.8
    In the emergency response info it's quoted at 352.8 V so that's 63.5
    In Hyundai's VIN info it says 356 V so that's 64.1
    The bottom line is that it's entirely dependent on what voltage you pick as the average over the allowed operating range. Normally that's somewhere between 3.6 to 3.7 V per cell for Li-ion (there are 98 sets of three cells in parallel) so that's 352.8 to 362.6 V and 63.5 to 65.3 kWh.
    It's unclear if 0-100% is actually 64 kWh and if the battery adapts to maintain range as health drops.

    Battery diagram from the service manual shows CMU and BMU inside - CMU looks like monitoring and balancing modules

  10. Good to see you Mike, welcome to the forum. I liked your review of the Zencar EVSE and have noticed some of your content on the U.K. forum (Speak EV)
    I am interested to view the schematic of the VESS system (I assume you have access to the U.K. version of the service manual), also numbered diagram of the pin outs at the switch block if at all possible thanks
    Edit: just read the VESS thread, thanks!
