Ah, I just re-read your post and see now that you bought a car with the lead acid PHEV system already installed--well hopefully my comments will...
Hi Nirmala, I believe the PHEV conversion from Jungle Motors is the CalCars style conversion from Plugin Supply. I have had experience with...
Fair enough. I see you've been using EV-mode quite a bit. 2200 miles on a tank so far is very impressive--that's what, 40 miles a day? I suppose I...
Hi guys, For all you PHEV drivers out there who have gone more than 2 months on a tank, I'm curious how your car (specifically, your remaining...
True, but a replaced OEM battery allows for more regen energy to be captured because of the larger capacity. The OEM battery starts reducing the...
I think we all hope for that =). I'm sure as the demand for this technology increases the cost will come down. Andrew
Wow. I meant no hostility in my previous posts, nor am I at all suggesting that the PICC conversion is the best one for everyone. As you...
You're not being too dense, it's a good question =). I agree with MJFrog here--it really isn't apples to apples because yes, the Enginer system...
As for calculating discharge C rates, I did a google search and found this website: Discharge Methods It explains pretty well how C rate discharge...
Docbooks, I think you are asking if I drive 10 miles in EV range and 10 miles in hybrid sustain mode (OEM Prius mode) do I burn the same amount...
By my estimates, using two 12 amp DC/DC converters together you're probably looking at closer to 80 or 90 amps discharge from the auxiliary...
20 or 30 amps would be an improvement (I believe the old Enginer DC/DC converters were around 20 amps) but I don't believe your batteries can push...
I would add a note to this, if you do go BMS+ route make sure you routinely check the voltages on the extra Prius battery packs both at the high...
Okay, you may have a point about the test piloting part--I really don't have an Enginer conversion (though I do have sufficient experience with...
I don't personally have an Enginer conversion kit, but the moral of the story is that the latest DC/DC converter that comes with the Enginer...
I know Plugin Conversions just did a few installations in Australia and I believe now has a dealer there--not quite sure where it is in Australia...
Unfortunately that is a limitation of an auxiliary battery pack style conversion. To get more EV range/power/time you'll either need a much...
I disagree that the systems all work out to be the same (I haven't filled up my car since early August and still have over 3 gallons left running...
What would you say your average speed is while using the Enginer PHEV kit? Andrew
Yes, this is correct though the extra weight is not as bad as you might expect. Since the PICC conversion battery has a lower internal resistance...
