I do respect your optimism--really I do. The link you sent over is the summary of the tax credit coverage, and like all legal documents it has...
Yeah--I don't intend to crush your dreams but merely to make sure you know what to expect. I did a bunch of research on the federal tax credit...
The 10% federal rebate requires CARB (California Air and Resource Board) emissions certification which I don't believe the system has...
Re: My conversion blog. Interesting. It looks like they have switched from Thunder-sky batteries to Sky-Energy batteries. Sky energy still uses...
Hi Dan, Thanks for the info. There seems to be a reasonable margin for internal resistance in those batteries (some have higher resistance than...
My point is that an accidental engine start is 8 to 12 times worse than a normal engine start--this is because under an accidental start the ICE...
Hi Dan, Thanks for the info, however in order to calculate the internal resistance we need to know what the exact current is at the time of the...
Hi Vertex, My point is you cannot account for all variables. Lets say you end up in an intersection and you /must/ get out of it quickly because...
Interesting. So it appears that the 40 AH module is simply 3 of their smaller 13 Ahr batteries in parallel. Does anyone have any sort of internal...
Just my two cents: Balancing at the bottom will increase the number of deep-cycles for your battery pack thus decreasing over-all lifespan...
It doesn't use more power actually, the big difference is the increased internal resistance of the battery in the cold. A higher internal...
Hmm...I still see $11,995 when I went there just now--am I reading the wrong site? Regarding the tax credit: As previously discussed on this...
Howdy, I meant to include this in my last message but I forgot. The reason it's important to start the ICE every time is because you /might/ need...
Hi TheForce, First, I meant no hostility in my responses and I apologize if they came across that way. Sometimes I say things as a matter-of-fact...
I think it's very dangerous to think of the modification in this way. It certainly doesn't reduce emissions--once the catalytic converter warms up...
Howdy, A123 battery cells are extremely powerful cells in comparison to the Mottcell batteries. For this application it's fair to say that they...
Hi Daox, Has anyone independently verified the accuracy of said balancers? It's a common problem with BMSes that don't have a high enough...
Howdy, Yes the PHEV world is exciting, isn't it :)? I have a PICC kit in my car and so yes I can vouch for its general awesomeness (and its...
I apologize for the double post here. I didn't realize you were referring to a 2002 Prius (sorry for the mixup). The concept should work roughly...
Hi Adric, Yes, several people have done this. This style system was made popular by Norman of Hybrid Interfaces (CAN-view index). Dan is correct...
