Etorque systems

[Anthonystempak]

Is anybody messing with the system? Enhancing it

 

[Anthonystempak]

Anybody playing with it? Meaning adding a second battery pack enhancing the system

 

[rzr6-4]

I don't know much about it personally but most people here hate it. Would delete/bypass if they could, I would be surprised if anyone is trying to "enhance" the system.

 

[mikeru]

How would adding a second battery enhance the system? The electric motor/generator adds nothing to the final torque or horsepower ratings. Etorque and non-etorque Hemi's are rated exactly the same. I'm not seeing how adding another battery will do anything for you. You'd possibly have better luck in reprogramming how the system works, but keep in mind that any torque is added through the serpentine belt. You'd need to alter that as well.

Have to find out if either of the etorque motors can put out any more ftlbs. I'm looking at a 5.7 since l thaught the pentastar had mds. The butter quiet problematic Eco diesel is said to keep up with the 5.7 with a chip

 

[mikeru]

The Hemi has MDS. Do you even own a truck with etorque?

There are many ways to increase power. Messin' with the etorque system ain't one of 'em.

Didn't you already ask this question,lol. You were the guy thinking he'd get 220 lb-ft out of the etorque system by adding a 2nd battery pack,the only way that's happening is by wiring them in series to give you 96 volts,i highly doubt the etorque's belt would handle that,and i'm not sure how you'd keep the system happy charging 2 batteries in series.

At this point I am getting concerned, you alright man? You seem to post some of the strangest stuff I have ever seen, post a dozen times responding to yourself then completely ignore every other reply?

What in the heck are you trying to do with what RAM? Do you have a 5.2, a 4.7, a 3.6, an eco diesel or an etorque 5.7 with dual batteries that gets 30+ mpg??

 

[Anthonystempak]

It's weird your getting mad your weird

 

[Anthonystempak]

Stop following me around

Vortec is GM,not Ram/Stellentis,lol. You better do some reading on how electric motors work dude,as i don't think you're really comprending what you want to do,the only way to get more power output is to basically up the voltage supplied to the motor,which means adding another battery in series.
If you add it in parrellel which will still give you 48 volts,but you won't get anymore power output, the power you have will last longer as you've added twice the amp capacity to the system.
Just how are you planning on harnessing this power,as i doubt the factory belt will live past the first off idle pull.
Also you do realise the etorque system basically only supplies off idle torque,it doesn't supply extra torque all through the rpm range.
If you have a 5.7,pull it out and drop a truck 6.4 in it,and you'll gain a noticable amount of off idle tire spinning torque

The E-Torque is a starter/generator, not a motor. If you want an electric motor in a Ram, get the E-Ram electric truck.

E-Torque is an electric starter motor and generator...

I have a 2021 RAM Longhorn Limited with eTorque with 9,000 miles and no issues whatsoever. For a good RAM engineer’s explanation of eTorque, how it operates and it’s benefits, watch this YouTube video:
https://youtu.be/Nwnw452p2ZA

If I know truck will be sitting for a week or more, I attach a Battery Tender to the 12v battery to keep it fully charged. Why? I’ve noticed with all the electronics that if the vehicle sits, there appears to be a parasitic draw from the battery. By using Battery Tender, the battery is always fully charged without worrying about over-charging.

If that the case, better change your sig line as you say 2001 318,
etorque and vortec don't work.

I got a 2022 1500 Big Horn V6 back in February. I figured I would hate the E-Torque system and I turned it off every time I drove the truck. After a month or so, I stopped turning it off and now I don't pay any attention to it or even realize it's doing it's thing. Ignore the E-Torque and you won't know it's there.

Charging would be just one problem with two batteries in series.

The other would likely be overheating a motor that is designed for 48 vdc.

As Mike said, looking for more torque isn't going to be found by modifying the battery configuration.

Shouldn't you be quoting the OP,what are you accomplishing by quoting me.I already know the downfalls of adding a battery in series to the stock system,kind of why i was trying to steer him into doing more research on electric motors in post #11.

My first two sentences was intended to ADD conformational support to your comment. However, I apologize if I offended you. It wasn't my intent.
