Good afternoon to all, I bought this rune and drive car but while it came to me the battery was discharged to a critical level. Having removed the battery, we charged it but the normal values but 4 tanks were out of order. I have questions to you dear forum users or i can buy one module, searches on the site gave me nothing.

sorry for my bad english.

Scrap it.

 

[Andrii]

sorry what do you mean?

 

[donald]

I mean scrap it. I believe you will save money if you abandon it and go buy yourself a serviceable vehicle.

You need to understand why those cells failed. Was it a cell failure or a BMS failure taking the cells down. The packs were I believe built by Johnson/ saft in the US, It may be possible to get some spares from them dorectly. What counrty are you in?

 

[Andrii]

I have a lot of cars on electricity, even it's not money, Ford must go. I know that this is not easy, but I would like to repair it. Maybe you know where to buy such batteries? Maybe someone had a similar problem and refused expensive repairs.

We wrote some letters but we did not receive the answers. most likely the reason the firm is bankrupt.
BMS is okay, the reason for a very long time the car stood motionless, the keys were lost, etc. The chance to find exactly these cells is not great, if we can not find the original, we will scrutinize the parameters and sizes of others, but this is another story.

Azure dynamics confirmed bankrupt. Not sure what you mean by tanks. Are you saying every cell in some modules are dead? From the photos it looks as if you have managed to disconnect the cells in a module so presumably you have tested individual cells? I would imagine Saft might supply cells to rebuild the modules. As I think you suggest buying another vehicle may be fruitful. Some years ago I think a few owners managed to get Ford research in Essex to work on their vehicles.

A breakers called 'u pull it' in york had 5 sets of the azure connect battery.

can you give me the phone number or the contact person's address?

u pull it - Google Search

 

[Andrii]

Unfortunately in "u-pull it" the module does not have any batteries or cells in them.
Searches continue.

If the van has been standing for too long discharged then most likely is that the cells are dead if they are below 2.5v.

As mentioned earlier by @Grumpy-b the cells may be available.

Many parts were sold after the company went bankrupt and I managed to get a motor, gearbox, drive electronics and other parts but battery packs were never part of the bankruptcy sale so there must be cells and packs somewhere with nothing to do.

try ashwoods down in darkest exeter.

 

[Andrii]

such marking for Ford batteries, maybe someone met.

 

[Andrii]

Good news, replaced the bad cells, leveled the tension and Ford Drive . The problem was a bad cabin heater.

 

[Andrii]

There is a problem that only one half of the battery is running, if i replace the BMS places then the second half of the battery is running.
Not the fact that BMS is bad, information from two parts of the battery comes.

 

[Andrii]

Apparently, the problem with the second half of the battery was much earlier, the odometer readings show that the runs are significantly different, it means that the driving owner drove one half of the battery for a long time.

P0073 Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit "A" High


I did not find where to find this sensor?. Maybe he's in BMS Module A?
Does anyone know how to find it?
