I got the drive battery replaced in both my 2014 spark EV's under warranty. It took persistence and two dealerships but I finally got it done. Both the replacement packs are the LG Chen ones that were used in the 2015 and 2016 spark. The BMS was reprogrammed to accommodate the different cell...
Both my 2014 sparks are aproaching 100k miles and are down to 55 miles on the guess o meter at full charge. These A123 cells are rated for 3.6 volts at full charge and 2.5 volts empty. But I've noticed both cars only charge the cells to 3.35 volts. Is there a way to change the GM BMS programming...
Since both my sparks are out of warrantee and only charge to 67 on the GOM these days I was wondering if it is possible to change the programing to allow full use of battery capacity? Is there any software out there?

I bought two 2014s both with DCFC and only ever charged once using the DC fast chargers. There realy aren't many here in Orlando. I'm willing to bet there pretty scarce in the Carolinas. I don't think it's that important since I've been driving these cars 500 miles a week no problem just...
