How can i install li-ion batterys on my prius

Everyone that tries these kind of modules li ion they never work correctly . Not sure the issue and really don't care but people have tried

 

just wire them up in parallel, shouldn't be a problem

 

You have to wire the mess up until you make 200 volts .

 

The fusion outage is 281V I wouldn't be afraid to try a whole pack like that in a Prius I've seen close voltages in a Prius . Probably won't hurt a thing If try it if I had the pack. There's some other things that plug up to the battery pack that may have to be sorted

 

I'd just wire it up in a box in the hatch and see how it performs

 

maybe rewrite the bus software to prevent an explosion, or maybe use the bus from ford

 

The problem is the hybrid system monitors 14 battery voltages (2 modules each) and the total voltage. It expects the voltage charge discharge characteristics of niMh and the system will code and go as far as shutting down if the characteristics are not the same. The most well known seller of lithium retrofits had to fake the voltage feedback resulting in unreliable and unsafe operation. Fires and very short lifespans resulted.

Lithium also needs more monitoring points than niMh for safety and reliability.

Another company is working on a retrofit gen3 Prius bms control similar to a successful implementation they developed for Honda Insights.

The best way to get lithium is to buy a car that was engineered for the chemistry. Toyota used lithium in overseas Prius v's and in certain gen4 and newer hybrids.

 

I don't think so!

 

The safest thing to do is skip the lithium, and put in a Sodium Ion Battery Pack.

 

ford has sodium?

 

Contact Jack....

 

jack ford?

 

Who is that?????

AFAIK Jack only sells Toyota/Lexus, 1 version of the GM Tahoe hybrid battery, and is now offering an awesome and perfectly safe version of Lithium for Hyundai/Kia option. I am not sure the Ford market is really something he thinks is a good venture at this time perhaps?

 

he doesn't know jack

 

I think everyone knows by now that he's the owner of the company right? Is this some proprietary knowledge we're not supposed to be privy to?

 

Yes. And most know about the short lived lithiums he sold, his failure to warranty many users and the bogus voltage averagers he used to hide issues. To say nothing of fires.

 

Have you done exclusive, non biased research into the sodium versions and how well they are performing compared to the Lithium?
