Do you know where you heard that? I was having a discussion with Porsche a while back in viewtopic.php?p=28503 speculating about the max discharge power of a high voltage lithium pack using cylindrical cells as a reference, because I didn't actually have access to pouch cell discharge data. From...

The 2014 has a 3.17 final drive and the 2015-16 has a 3.87 final drive, so that's the main difference. I think they changed the drive ratios in order to compensate for 100 less lb-ft of torque. I Recall hearing the LG cells couldn't take the punishment. I DO enjoy the zippiness! With the...

Thanks for sharing. I DO wonder, though... If my A123 pack is replaced with the LG Chem pack, will they limit the torque output like they did on the 2015/2016 models? I hope not, as /tmp is an EXTREMELY fun little beast to drive!

Saw this pop up today: https://youtu.be/qS9uo5t8n0s What a bummer. TO top if off, my capacity went * UP * the other day! Looks like it'll be closer than I thought. I'm hoping someone will make a Tesla or BYD cell pack replacement for us to keep these lil' efficient fellas on the road!

Which group on FB? I REALLY LIKE the little fellah, but the only thing it really 'needs' is the traction battery replaced. I wonder if there will be any third-party kits available to plop Tesla cells in...

A little update: Concierge desk was quite useless. Told me it's between me and the dealership to get the battery tested. Offered no help getting that started, and just kept mentioning the "needs to be below 39.0Ah" etc... Well, luckily for me, I've been taking screenshots at random times...

I've had a couple calls, and one regurgitated the same boilerplate, but I explained I want someone to actually run the test on capacity, and they're supposed to be calling again soon to see what they can do... Wish I could find my Kill-a-Watt, and just run the battery dry again / charge it up...

I have 'em in several folders, with three at the root of the drive. For kicks, I renamed the folders with 1_, 2_, and 3_ leading headers in their names. Whichever has 1 displays, and the limit does seem to be 2500 total music files. Strange.

I use Torque Pro to read mine. I figured the kWh capacity being so low would be what triggered it. Wonder why it doesn't match the AH reading... One would think they'd track rather closely...

I spent hours last night ripping and populating a 32GB thumbdrive, only to discover it seems there's a 2500 track limit. Is there a way around this?

Sure sounds like the technician was referring to the 12 volt battery which is rated in AH (amp-hours). The LN1 12 volt battery is rated at 44 AH. The HV battery is 400 volts DC and is rated at approximately 21kWh new. Something is not right!! Looking at the paperwork, it indicates...

Should know later today... Spoke to the tech directly, and saw his document regarding EV capacities etc. 2014 Spark needs to hit not 12.65kWh, but 39Ah. Interesting. Torque shows Bat Cap raw at 40.1 for me.. Tech indicates he may reset the values to cause it to re-learn over the next...

I wonder if a 2014 with the altered suspension for the new battery pack replacement will have the same geometry...
