You need to account for startup surge. That will be several thousand watts for your typical fridge, so its unlikely even a 1000 watt continuous...
Are you interested in getting 1000 watts (enough to run a fridge or window A/C, plus some lights and a TV... lots of load management), or do you...
Sure, a block heater improves mpgs but it will not have any ROI. It uses a lot of energy just to save a little energy (kw vs. gas). If your goal...
You can either tap the 12 volt battery for 1000 watts (max and continuous), or the traction battery for 3000 watts continuous or several times...
Congrats!
He mentioned 170K miles above, but mileage is less important than age. A 2006 lead acid battery is well past retirement age. Replace that pronto...
Yes there are all kinds of good shops and bad shops, just like there are polite people and people that make rude comments.
#1 rule in troubleshooting a problem (what I do for a living, with code), only make one major change at a time. Hold off on the tires until you...
+1 on the fuel filter, I was going to have mine replaced since we recently rolled over 100K miles. Its my SOP to replace it at 100K on every car...
Odd that it would be bad after 2 months in service. Lead acid batteries are usually DOA or will last a few years if they are going to die early....
I'm experiencing the same thing as the OP. Took it in for the inverter pump & steering recalls, asked for an oil change since it is in there (I...
That one is no different than the UPS I use - 144 volts nominal is well below the minimum 180 volts your inverter needs.
The UPS I've talked about is not compatible with the 144 volt Prius system. The low-voltage cutoff is around 168 volts if I remember right.
Yeah, those Volt owners are right. The topology is identical to a home-grown EV that has a range-extender generator on a trailer. Most of the...
Nope, I never said that. ;-) My Caprice, yes. Nothing on the steering or suspension is stock. Next up is modifying the axle lengths and center...
Hate to tell you, Germans don't have a lock on performance and Japanese designers know how to make nimble cars, too.
I didn't say the steering feel was great, or anywhere close to my heavily-modified Caprice (which corners on rails), but with the non-stock tires...
I'll also disagree on the Hybrid #2 point, above... "(lack of)...maneuverability, steering feel, stopping capability, etc. They feel like heavy...
Any chance the orange battery disconnect wasn't entirely seated correctly? It has two connectors, one large one for the battery and one small one...
The first time I made this connection to the HV battery it took me about an hour. The hardest part was tracking down some of the hidden bolts....
