dbspl Posted December 17, 2013 at 12:15 AM Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 at 12:15 AM Does anyone know the current capacity of the Lithium high voltage battery? I understand the nominal voltage of the battery is around 300 volts. If that's true, that would suggest a current capacity of around 25 Ah. I'm also curious if anyone knows the cell make-up of the battery. In other words, how many cells in series, and whether there is more than one string in parallel?

murphy Posted December 17, 2013 at 01:18 AM Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 at 01:18 AM Does anyone know the current capacity of the Lithium high voltage battery? I understand the nominal voltage of the battery is around 300 volts. If that's true, that would suggest a current capacity of around 25 Ah. According to the wiring diagram the HVB has a 225 amp fuse in series with the positive terminal and the HVB service disconnect. There is no indication where that fuse is located. It doesn't appear in any of the fuse panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbspl Posted December 17, 2013 at 01:57 PM Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 at 01:57 PM Thanks for the link. It helped a lot. So if I understand this correctly, the nominal HVB voltage would be approximately 302.4 volts (3.6V x 84). Maximum charge voltage would be approximately 344.4 volts (4.1 X 84). If I assume a 25 Ah current rating, the capacity of the battery would be around 7,560 Wh. That starts to make sense. A fuse value of 225 amps would limit the power to the electric motor (plus everything else) to 68,000 watts (302.4V X 225). Given the electric motor is rated for 88kW, I guess I can believe that.
