Look at this experiment routing the AC into the rear void.

Can you give a brief description for people who are not part of that Facebook group or part of any facebook groups?DougWantsALeaf wrote: ↑Sun Jul 12, 2020 6:56 pmLook at this experiment routing the AC into the rear void.

Given the mass of the battery, I wonder if these folks are just tricking the temp sensors into not realizing how hot the pack is getting...?DougWantsALeaf wrote: ↑Mon Jul 13, 2020 7:01 amSorry, the woman from the link blocked her air vents and ran a shop vacuum tube through the center console to the read hump to push AC air into battery area.
She said she saw less rapidgating as a result. As she was in Nevada and often was driving at 110 ambient, her DC charging often was constricted to 12kW. Post modification she would get 20 and 30kW charge rates and saw lower battery Temps.
The sensors are embedded in the modules. There is probably a bigger heat gradient, meaning the modules with sensors are cooler, but the inner cells and rear stack may be warmer than measured.LeftieBiker wrote: ↑Mon Jul 13, 2020 12:35 pmGiven the mass of the battery, I wonder if these folks are just tricking the temp sensors into not realizing how hot the pack is getting...?DougWantsALeaf wrote: ↑Mon Jul 13, 2020 7:01 amSorry, the woman from the link blocked her air vents and ran a shop vacuum tube through the center console to the read hump to push AC air into battery area.

This video shows them fairly well. If you watch on YT, the table of contents splits the video so you can find the individual segments. Temperature sensor installation starts at 1:12:15. Earlier on, somewhere in the video, the way the temperature probe actually pokes into each module is shown.DougWantsALeaf wrote: ↑Mon Jul 13, 2020 4:33 pmIs there a diagram somewhere to see where the battery sensors are?
