    I want to replace NIMH battery in my 2011 Prius. Can I replace with Li-Ion battery?

    I would rather wait for lifepo4 instead of lithium ion battery. Lifepo4 voltage is much more steady compared to li ion when draining from 100 or 80 percent to 40 percent.

    Yes, you can, you need to install a cheat that will increase the voltage in the information cables and trick the battery ecu.

    I have tested it on Ford Fusion batteries and it works perfectly. If you know of a similar charger, please share it with me.

    Batteries are DC. Such a transformer can only work its magic on AC.
