    Graphene Polymer Battery 497 Mile Range

    Understanding Lithium Ion batteries. Professor Jeff Dahn - WIN Seminar Series - YouTube Dr. Jeff Dahn talks about battery technology and the breakthroughs that they've made in testing batteries and accurately predicting their lifespans. It's one of Dr. Dahn's graduate students that heads up...

    Spotify

    Spotify bugs I have frequent problems with Spotify not working properly. There are lots of times when it doesn't log in and it can forget all my favourites at any time and then it will sometimes bring them back randomly. It can be playing my favourite songs and yet they don't appear in the...

    That's great Colin. Remember to order the CEE Red UMC adaptor from Tesla too. It's not part of the standard UMC kit.

    Charging with UMC at maximum capacity. Displayed in KW.

    It looks to me like it comes down to typical efficiencies. I have a 3 week old 85D, the most efficient Model S available. I'll see if I can get another shot with the display changed to show KW/hr.

    All the parts for the 3 phase adaptors for the UMC arrived and I made up the adaptor leads yesterday. I trialled them today with the UMC and this is the result. Very happy with the outcome as it's much faster than the 40A wall charger.

    That's good information for the next project. I'm wondering how hard it would be to build an EVSE with a Fast DC option included.

    Speed assist in Australia

    I have the 80 sign reading as a 30 quite a lot and also, every time I drive on the M5 and it sees a "5" sign, it sets the speed limit to 5 km/hr.

    Good idea using the 3 phase adaptor. I assume that you have to manually limit the current on the charging screen. In the proprietary end of the adaptor, you can see where the rubberised external compound meets the hard black plastic surround of the plugs. These are seperate components and...

    Thanks Dylanpete. I have read through that thread also. I finished off a modification to the 10A UMC dongle today. I disconnected the 198K resistor (that's moulded into the body of the dongle) and installed a 51K resistor between pin 1 & 6. After re-assembly and testing, it now allows the...

    AS/NZS 3112 to IEC62196 15Amp portable EVSE

    I'm just adding some new information regarding 15A outlets, to the Mobile Charging for Australia thread.

    Mobile charging for Australia

    I've been speaking with Mitchell (Tesla Charging Specialist), just to confirm a few things regarding the UMC and adapters. Apparently there is a review of the current system at the end of the year, so there may some news about future adapters then. Currently here is the situation and some...

    Thanks for that. It's good to have it all together for a reference.

    Mobile charging for Australia

    I wouldn't be using this mod at 15A in a 10A outlet. The idea was to use it with 15A outlets, which many free ChargePoints seem to have. A domestic 10A outlet will usually be connected via a 16A breaker or hopefully an RCD/MCB (combination of a breaker with earth leakage detection that saves...

    Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum and was hoping to find a way to extract more capability from the UMC. I purchased a 100K ohm potentiometer and configured a little test rig to see what the UMC would tell the Model S about the dongle limits. Here are the resistor values for the Australian UMC...
