What brake fluid are you all using ? The manual. says to use "Genuine NISSAN Super Heavy Duty Brake Fluid". As best I can tell, this is Nisn part# 999MPA4132P ? But when I try to check out, I get a useless message that "unable to verify fitment". I also see part# 999MP-A4100P.
Today, our Leaf would not start charging when plugged into our home Level 2 EVSE; the indicator light on the EVSE did not illuminate, you didn't hear the relay click, and the car didn't lock in the J1772 connector. Tried it with the portable charging cord to confirm it was the car and not the...
We're getting a Tesla, and I'd like to be able to do the same thing with it that me and others here have done with our Leaves. I suppose there's no reason it couldn't work more or less the same, but I want to look into it.
Is anyone aware of a similar discussion on the interwebs for Teslas ?
Well here's a random 1500watt pure-sine unit: https://invertersrus.com/product/cotek-sp-1500-112 Says it can draw 2650 VA surge (1 sec). How will the Lead react to that ? I've wondered if the problem of my 1000watt unit getting shut-down by the fridge could be the 12vdc sagging, and not...
So how big an inverter IS considered safe (for this scheme of hooking it to the Leaf's 12v system) ? I went with a 1000watt Xantrex just to be safe. But apparently my fridge is killing it (it shuts off) with an auto-defrost cycle. I've been trying to figure out how to temporarily disable...
Yes, that is correct, for running the vacuum pump during install primarily. So, I'm taking from this that I'd be ok with a 16amp EVSE, wired on a 20amp double-pole breaker in the subpanel using 12awg wire (be it romex or THWN in conduit).
However, is it not true that the issue is nuisance...
I was referring to Table 310.15(B)(16) aka. 310.16, the third column for THWN-2 rated at 90-degreesC. But it's picking nits. Probably want the 10awg for voltage drop anyhow...
