ptjones Posted September 20, 2018 at 03:30 PM Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 at 03:30 PM I have pics of Hybrid next to Energi cell to show the difference in size. I got these pics from GreenTecAuto.com who refurbish HVB for CMAX and Fusion Hybrid and Energi's. Also I'm wondering if you could take a 2013 CMAX/Fusion Energi and exchange the HVB with a new 2019 Fusion Energi HVB with extended capacity to get 25+ miles on a charge. Did Ford improve cooling on newer CMAX's? Paul jj2me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsamp Posted September 24, 2018 at 07:00 PM Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 at 07:00 PM AFAIK, they only changed the cells themselves (same size cells, but slightly higher capacity). Basically a "drop in" replacement of cells in the existing design. I don't have any insider info, just what I've read on various EV sites. So in theory it will work in an older model, thought there might be some programming changes needed for the computer to recognize the extra capacity.

ptjones Posted September 24, 2018 at 09:18 PM Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 at 09:18 PM That is what I was thinking, was wondering if BCM was measuring the voltage of each cell to determine the Amp/Hr and add them up to get the range. With more capacity you could still have the same voltage, but more Amp/Hr. :headscratch: Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
