Separate names with a comma.
That makes no sense based on the look of the hatch. Is the carbon-mat look just a sticker or something?
"While lead acid must always be kept at full charge during storage, nickel- and lithium-based chemistries should be stored at around a 40 percent...
What I said was correct. Lithium batteries don't like to be stored at full charge.
Drain the battery to something less than 100% (50% would be nice) and don't leave the car plugged in. That's it.
To be clear, when I said it works just fine, I haven't even downloaded Entune much less tried to connect it to my car. I'm using Bluetooth (to a...
It works fine, it's useful, it's easy to use (except entering a destination which is a totally messed up disaster as it's always been). There are...
It's because your efficiency is so low (2.5 miles per kWh). Mine is 4.9. You must be driving either very harshly or at very high speeds to have...
It isn't nearly that much. I'm measuring 3W right now.
Switching loss changes with voltage. Think (simplistically) of switching loss as shorting out the parasitic capacitances of the switching devices...
I was trying to figure out what point you were trying to make, when I realized we were talking past each other. You're talking efficiency, I'm...
That's a totally inaccurate description, in my opinion. Overhead implies losses associated with charging. It isn't that at all. It's...
I just looked at the cable. It's 105°C cable. Think the asphalt gets that hot?
No, that 2kwh or so is reserved to preserve battery longevity by not allowing it to discharge to 0% and not allowing it to charge to 100%.
Switching power supplies hae two primary sources of loss - conduction loss and switching loss. Conduction loss is proportional to current squared...
They're more likely to be constant per unit time only if current is constant. Lower current will have lower losses.
The reflective paint will likely not be flexible enough to stay stuck to the very flexible cable. The pipe insulation will make the thermal...
It's also variable based on the amount of hybrid-charge left in the battery when you shut off the car.
I only measured it once, but it was 6.6kWh (from L1) that one time.
No. They really meant that the engine has a peak thermal efficiency of 40%.
Don't forget, the thermal power plants that are largely powering the grid are also averaging somewhere in the 40% efficient range. Some are...
