TC Battery Chargers

28/12/2016

To charge the high voltage battery pack in MR02EV I use a TC Charger from Handzhou Tiecheng Information Technology. I have had two models from the 2KW HF/PCF Lithium Battery Charger range:

TCCH-H208-11 Max Voltage 208V and Max Current 11A
TCCH-H417-5A5 Max Voltage 417V and Max Current 5.5A

To run the Batrium BMS software, and display the pack status, MR02EV has a Windows 10 computer and a computer monitor in the dash. Initially this was an Mini-pc but at about 5 Watts it was quite power hungry and would quickly flatten the AUX 12 volt battery if the DC-DC converter was not running.

When MR02EV was first registered for road use as an EV by the certifying authority it was classed as having and automatic transmission. The reason for this? I removed the clutch so the motor and transmission are deemed to be permanently engaged. Not a big deal from a paperwork perspective, but it does raise a few issues when driving the car.
