The US shops are not accessible to me because of customs duties. I live in Greece.
You have a private message. Thanks!
you wrote that in Holland one can find used prius HV batteries for 400 euros or so. Since I don't speak the language, can you please inform...
You mean that if I called a dealership I would get a price of 1800 euros?
Ready mode on, no 12V problems. Same conditions in both cases.
Hi all, I've got a prius 2004 model. The other day I went to the local dealer to have the HV battery checked and I was told that they could not...
I have my prius on lpg too. I would advise that you drive conservatively when on lpg, as the exhaust valves tend to get hotter. I too noticed...
This engine still has the crosshatch pattern on the cylinder walls!!! This means very little wear. I would only clean pistons, put new rings in,...
I'd say you should get a second opinion. I own a 2004 Prius with 135k miles and my front brakes are nowhere near to needing servicing, not to...
A NiMH battery discharge profile can be found here. http://data.energizer.com/PDFs/nickelmetalhydride_appman.pdf#page=6 At 1V it is fully...
Suppose you have 18 modules at 5500 mAh and 10 at 4500 mAh and you start discharging to 168V. What will you end up having?
As far as I can see, people repairing their batteries, discharge to 6 volts per module ie 1 volt per cell (theoretically of course). Other sites...
It is different things because overdischarging (and hence polarity reversal) should be avoided in the first place. If we reach polarity...
You are saying that it is reverse charging that does the damage. Wikipedia (and other sites) say that overdischarging causes polarity reversal....
A gasket is not really needed unless the old one is destroyed. I have removed the TB for cleaning several times. Never a problem with the...
Do you have a reference?
Look at the initial capacities of these modules Gen II Prius Individual Battery Module Replacement | Page 2 | PriusChat They range from 680 mAh...
Ok, but still, I don't think that overdischarging can be controlled, especially if there are big capacity differences between the modules.
While all sounds good, there appears to be no method to control overdischarging which can permanently damage individual cells. See here...
I agree, this must be the case. Adding up the possible costs, it could save: - Gas - The need for a costly tow if the battery goes out on a...
