Exactly, this is why those commercial UPS setups work well for the purpose (see specs, input voltage 160-275V on P10-11)....
This^^^^^ I looked into it myself and the best you can really do with the Prius is to tap into the hybrid battery and use it to power a large...
Remember to take your amp readings at regular intervals (every 5 mins or so should be enough) too because when you go to calculate the capacity...
Yeah, that's about double the Hitec X4, you set it to 1A initially but in reality it only pulls around 0.7A during discharge.
Couple things here....... 1) Battery capacity is not measured in amps, it's amp-hours (number of amps divided by number of hours) 2) You need to...
It's the discharge side that slows down the process considerably so any improvement there will speed things up alot. Looks like it has 5A...
Since the entire premise of grid charging is to continually ensure all the individual cells are topped up then if one of the cells in a module is...
I see alot of statements and assumptions being made here with little to no facts backing them up........sorry I'm calling BS on this one. The...
Testing the modules at higher loads will only amplify the difference between voltage drop results but the test I outlined above is more than...
Yes, correct. Healthier modules would have a lower voltage drop than others. You should see most of them group together with a few outliers...
Keep in mind the modules are also only used at between 40-80% state of charge so as you approach the extremes of SOC you need to be alot more...
X2 This is why if you use RC chargers then quad style ones like the Hitec X4 finish the work much faster although grid charging is the fastest...
I'm not sure if the bus bars would be an issue (seems possible but not likely) since the bus bars are just small plates connecting adjacent...
Couple things...... 1) When you do the charging you want to do it when the weather is as cool as possible 2) Vehicle should sit overnight before...
Just to clear up a few things. The battery has 2 main aspects that are important when rebuilding. The first is capacity. This is basically how...
Nice to have backup power for sure. Not sure if you saw these: Son of PriUPS This one is excellent too: Using a Prius as a generator —...
I found exactly the same thing.........this is why load testing is critical in the rebuild process.
I agree with your statement because I have used the prolong charger on my battery many times and clearly they are not all going to be at the same...
No that wire harness was just to balance the voltages on the modules before I put them back in, it was not for parallel charging. The X4 will do 4...
I hear what your saying but given your tools you simply don't have the ability to do what you are trying to accomplish and this will more than...
