Thanks for sharing krousb, very exciting results! At this point I'll admit I have no idea why this works, but its awesome that it seems to....
Since it seems more people might be interested, here is some info I was sharing with a few folks over PM regarding solar costs: Smallish systems...
BTW, nothing crazy about buying a salvaged Prius with the intention of building a PHEV out of it ;)
This has actually been done, but I wouldn't think it is particularly well suited to a Prius. Since the Prius already has motors and a very nice...
Unfortunately there is almost no documentation of this effect, and I don't know how reproducible or well understood it was. I'll keep trying to...
What you say is certainly true and I'll freely admit I don't know these batteries that well, but bear in mind a pack is only as good as its...
Hobbit you may be right about Hymotion. From this pic: http://i399.photobucket.com/albums/pp73/HymoPrius/033L5HVwiringattached.jpg from this...
Not a bad theory Hobbit. It makes a good deal of sense, but I'm not sure it fits all the facts. The two discrepancies I can think of are: 1....
I wish I could give more details. I've followed a lot of the PHEV and EV discussion groups with great interest for a number of years. A lot of...
A related concern is that this kit essentially uses voltage to estimate the SOC of the OEM battery as well. This is implied by assuming that it...
Comments relocated from the big general thread, meant to post here was just in a hurry. Ok, here are some more thoughts/questions/concerns....
Yeah, I saw that. What I am talking about are discharge curves vs. temperature. In general the curves for the same discharge rate at different...
Comments removed to the technical discussion thread, meant to post it there :rolleyes:
Well, I think I've read the whole thread now. I have to say I am certainly intrigued. I haven't quite made up my mind whether what they are...
I wish that were the case. Unfortunately balancing is pretty unavoidable. Even lead acid EV packs require balancing, which are often just a...
I understand what you are saying, but they are still very similar as I understand them. Granted my knowledge of the PiPrius is limited. Both...
Sorry to hear about Velma :eek: Glad everyone else is ok!
That's a major bummer, sorry to hear about Nikki's car :( Charging of the NimH traction packs is very non-trivial. This has long seemed to me a...
This is not the same as being able to lightly touch the pedal on a flat or down hill and get your car to go into stealth mode. This appears to be...
Yup, to do as I'm suggesting you would have to hook it up as in the cal-cars configuration. This would make it more like Manzanita Micro's...
