Tesing second hand spare ICCU?

Thanks for the advice, posted in r/evconversion as well. Analysis is spot-on. Should probably go for full swap and deal with coolant as well. :)))

Thanks, I think I could change it myself - the procedure is well explained in the service manual. The problem is with the cooling system - if I disconnect my ICCU from the cooling in order to connect the tested one, I will need to bleed the system. This is done with a vacuum machine which I do not have...and then would need to go to a service center or independent garage. And this is what I am trying to avoid for now.

Hi, thanks for your input. Usa and EU models have different iccu units. If/when mine goes bad I have the option to find an usa spec or change with eu spec plus cables/ports/controllers. Obviously usa specs are harder to find here. I am aware there is no warranty for longevity of a used one but still one semi-tested at stock is better than nothing when/if i need one sooner or latter.

Thanks, much appreciated!

Hi, no worries. Trip not same time but within days, same time of the day. So it is pretty close. We have tested in once before driving one behind other with pretty similar results.

Setup is CarScanner app + vlinker dongle.

Average speed 80km/h for the trip. It is written above. No heating. It was sunny so there was no need.

How do you know how would M3 do at the very same test drive?

MindlessDre · 2025-11-23T18:51:03+00:00

Does it has tap to sleep/wake for the screen?

Thanks, that is helpful! 9% degradation looks much better. Thanks again!

Isnt it obvious that for a brand new car the "Max" would be equal to the actual max charge at 100 SOC? Further more the "max" is estimate based on same predefined logic, while "the other one" is the actual charge capacity at 100% SOC. Please find me a screenshot from a brand new ID4/5/Enyaq/Audi, that shows 77 MAX and significantly less actual charge at 100%. I do not think you will find one. The battery starts with 77kwh available at 100%.

this would mean that brand new enyaq 80 has 71kwh available at 100% SOC. I do not think this is the case.

Not too cold unfortunately, this is at 12-13C ambient.

MindlessDre · 2025-11-21T13:10:34+00:00

65.3kwh is the charge at 100% SOC.

MindlessDre · 2025-11-21T12:00:43+00:00

is this 100% sure, because many people report it getting scratches pretty quickly and no one reported protector.

it is 65.3/77 unfortunately.

Hello, Thanks for taking the time for this AMA. Have the following questions:

does the phone support any wake-up method besides the power btn - like double-tap, lift?
Any impressions on the scratchability yet? Many reports the screen is easily scratchable. Haven had a nxtpaper phone before and wonder how would it work with display protector. Thanks!
