Service Charging System on Fiat 500e RallyCross
Service Charging System on Fiat 500e RallyCross just a few days before the official presentation of cars for authorization at the Polish Motor Association.
Meanwhile on the IPC- Instrument Panel Cluster. Big red turtle icon reports Limited Power Mode. Of course, this requires removal of the HV battery from the car and a detailed inspection of the third-party installation.

Fiat 500e RallyCross. Preparation of the first racing cars
We are proud to announce that fiatservice.eu has become the official diagnostic support group to manage Fiat 500e for Rallycross Electric Races. Fiat 500e is qualified as a vehicle accepted by the Rallycross eN group – Electric Stock Cars.
For stock vehicles, a basic requirement of the FIA (Federation Internationale de l’Automobile) is an internal roll cage.

Fiat 500e RallyCross support
Fiat 500e RallyCross – The FIA also requires vehicles be outfitted with special lights, that inform the track staff about the condition of the electric vehicle. This made possible with fiatservice.eu technical support, working together with the engineers from Eliemen Racing .
fiat 500e racing lights It turned out that our intervention was needed immediately to diagnose issues on the first two cars. Received three weeks ago, the HV batteries turned out to be completely dead. They had newly regenerated HV Battery packages from a competing company. The first had the symptom of damage as, of course, not switching on. Then showing 0% to 47% State of Charge on IPC indicating an overly discharged state.
Lifting and opening the HV housing revealed the problem. It turned out that the HV battery had broken cells. They were self-discharging. This condition should never leave a company that has undertaken the remanufacturing.
Despite our efforts to build one battery out of two, it was not possible to collect enough modules in good condition. Unfortunately, this reconstruction will require additional cells from a third HV packet, as well as re-checking all battery capacity measurements. Again, this is unacceptable with newly reconditioned units.
