Never seen an oval tube roll bar, probably because it's weaker than round of similar diameter so nobody uses it (definitely not sanctioned for...
The problem is there are losses when you put electricity into a module then try to see how much comes back out. Load testing is more important...
WOW, I don't think I could come up with a combo that bad even if I tried........I bet there was nothing but standing voltage readings used to...
The RX450H uses the same 9.6v batteries as the HiHy so that would work great.
When you have a Firebird, fuel economy isn't really the first thing that comes to mind hence my HiHy question.......given the power plant I assume...
Any chance you'd ever be coming out with replacement modules (19.2v vs 14.4v) for HiHy's as well?
Awesome project but just curious why use a Prius frame for such a heavy car like a Firebird, why not a larger hybrid chassis like a Highlander?
X2 Cores are quite valuable even if all the batteries are junk so bone yards almost always ask for a core in return.........I lucked out getting...
I'd love to see the graph zoomed in on those transients, that should be telling if they are all grouped tightly even during spikes.
[ATTACH] The battery groupings look pretty tight but I do notice a few anomalies and was just curious which blocks those lower capacity modules...
The capacity is important but I would be far more concerned about how they handle discharge (loading) because all of their life will be spent in...
They look daisy chained as entire packs, you can see the main disconnects on the left of the photo.
No those batteries were probably all set up in parallel and the extra ones in the truck looked like they had an ECU/charge monitor setup. It's...
Its a great thought but the issue is that this setup probably won't play nice (you can't just match total voltages because the ECU checks them by...
Key is to stick to 192V (battery) and single phase systems, after that there's typically quite a few options available all the way up to around 6...
Yes those UPS are expensive now but there's a big market for used ones so usually you can pick one up for just a few hundred bucks but plan on...
These Toyota hybrid vehicles are bullletproof if you do your maintenance well (synth oil changes, diff, tranny, brake fluid, coolant,...
Yes, I guarantee it will. This is why I always suggest doing both capacity and load testing for rebuilding purposes. You want to match them all...
Never tried those apps, pretty cool. I may need to find myself an android phone just to give it a whirl myself with the HiHy.
Ed, look at my post again.......you can see the larger 230V AC output UPS (perfect for a home and also works with portable generators to start the...
