Ok, yes I understand that it can't be changed. Weird that 'coulomb count' is not actually in coulombs, but sure, it's merely a factor of 3600 out. kC would be the SI equivalent that is closest in magnitude to Ah is the reason I chose it (aH * 3.6) Michael On Mon, 9 Jan 2023, 3:42 pm Michael Balzer, <dexter@expeedo.de> wrote:
Michael,
units on standard metrics must not be changed.
Metric units are selected by a practical approach taking EV community conventions into account.
Coulomb count for vehicle batteries is normally measured in Ah, just as energy is measured in kWh and power in kW.
I've never seen kC or Joules used in an EV context, but if you see a need for this, go ahead.

Hi all, I've just found the total power used/recovered metrics (after realising in the I5 code that I was retrieving but not updating the appropriate metrics). Anyway, I then noticed the following: v.b.coulomb.used v.b.coulomb.used.total v.b.coulomb.recd v.b.coulomb.recd.total
The weird thing is that these are all in Amp Hours, which is not coulombs (coulombs is "amp seconds").
I'm going to submit a patch-request that adds kC (kilocoulombs) since that keeps the numbers reasonable, as well as megajoules (related to kwh) I was wondering whether it's worth having the above values stored as 'kilocoulombs' rather than 'Amp Hours'!? But I realise that this would have potentially bad affects as the raw metric values available on servers etc would change. *sigh*
Is there anything that can be done?
