val1ca Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 I'm not sure if is a topic about this anywhere on this Forum, however I'm looking for an answer on my crazy idea that I can replace the current batteries( 160,000.00 km-almost 8 years) with a custom ones that will do around 100 km between charges, like Volt batteries. I believe will require more space, but I love my C-max Energi( over 100,000.00 km electric). My gauge stopped at 99,999km more then a year ago and I'm planing to keep it for more than 10 years from now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestead Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Interesting idea. How about a 2nd set of identical batteries with a switch for charging or discharging. Taking twice the space and doubling your range. You would have to flip the switch to change to the 2nd set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billyk24 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Not enough room for a second or larger battery size. Software would have to be re-written for different battery. Then there is that CMax Energi flaw of poor HVB cooling. A larger and more used HVB is going to create more heat. The vehicle is inadequate to handle such for four months a year during the warm weather or longer in warmer areas. It isn't going to work well without a form of active cooling.
