charging efficiency

In electrochemistry, Faraday efficiency (also called faradaic efficiency, faradaic yield, coulombic efficiency, or current efficiency) describes the efficiency with which charge (electrons) is transferred in a system facilitating an electrochemical reaction. The word "Faraday" in this term has two interrelated aspects: first, the historic unit for charge is the faraday (F), but has since been replaced by the coulomb (C); and secondly, the related Faraday's constant (F) correlates charge with moles of matter and electrons (amount of substance). This phenomenon was originally understood through Michael Faraday's work and expressed in his laws of electrolysis.

    Battery Preconditioning

    Apologies, I previously raised this subject, however, it appears that there was confusion regarding ‘Battery Preconditioning’, and using the iSmart app’s facility to pre-heat the cabin/seats etc. To reiterate, my question relates to understanding exactly what PRE CONDITIONING THE (traction)...

    poor charging efficiency

    charged our ZS (standard range) last night - according to the charger we used 28.7kWh over the 4 hours we have cheap electricity. On the car battery this translated to +36% which by my calculation is 18.4kWh. So only 64% of the power went into the battery, this seems really poor as I would...

    HS PHEV battery charging

    Hi, forum, Just have fully charged my HS PHEV from empty. I used Pod point 3S wall changer, the app indicated it took 27 kWh. I wonder if anyone noticed over 24 kWh consumption when fully charging your car from empty. Also, on paper it is said HS PHEV battery capacity is 24.7 kWh, taking...

    Battery Preconditioning

    Now that temperatures are starting to drop in the UK, any advice from Cyberster owners who have driven in cold weather? At what temperature would preconditioning the battery be recommended and how long does it take to precondition?
