Or we could just spoof the sensors with an adapter that plugs in between the battery and the charger and gives a fake temperature reading? |
|
| |
Is there a legitimate safety reason chargers refuse to charge cold batteries or is it just a design fault in the chargers? |
|
| |
Just did a search for //why won't cold batteries charge?// [a1] and got this back in the top hit. |
|
| |
//cold temperatures cause fluids to flow more slowly. So, the electrolytes in batteries slow and thicken in the cold .. can prevent the lithium ions from properly inserting// etc. |
|
| |
So it's a physical properties issue? a spoofer won't fix, they physically can't charge if they're too cold, rather than the charger won't charge them, there's no sensors (causing it) to spoof. |
|
| |
I assume this is at public chargers where they want to charge at maximum rates, because I don't see why a home charger couldn't just start at low power until the battery warms up. |
|
| |
At commercial chargers, you could offer a separate parking space with infra red heat lamps (or a box of chickens) to warm the underside of the car. |

Just not feelin it, sorry. [-] |

Additionally, maintaining a constant battery temperature of, say 75F the vehicle range wouldn't diminish in chilly weather either the way it does now. Owners could realize warm-weather range year round. |

Dealers could offer marble options, say a second hot marble to augment cabin heat with a traditional circulated liquid heater core for owners in harsh winter states, a third to keep the coffee in your travel mug hot indefinitely, others to offer to passengers with really cold hands. |

Yes encapsulated nuclear waste coffee mugs have to be a thing. Can you deliver by midnight tonight? I'd like two please, in contrasting muted earth colours with bright blue details. |

Aha! The marbilized battery-warmer spent-nuclear option! |
|
| |
Here in Ontario, we've made the impossible of two terrible choices to bury Bruce Nuclear and Darlington spent fuel rods in a northern First Nations community near the Great Lakes rather than the more populated Amish/Blue Mountains ski-country near the Great Lakes. |
|
| |
Your solution is an improvement: safer than existing 'spread the Love (Canal)' ordinance coated in nuclear waste lobbed at unsuspecting architecture, soldiers and citizenry. |

As the thunderbirds taught us, having a nuclear-powered vehicle absolutely never goes wrong. |
|
| |
Oh wait, was it never or always? |
|
| |
Put in more cesium and make steam. Get rid of the batteries entirely. |
|

I like this idea, and the discussion> true to the original concept of 'Half-Baked'! |

This is my Christmas Eve gift; thank you, 'Bakers ! |
