Just a follow up on this......the test module above was damaged because: 1) I overcharged it (started cycle charging instead of D>C, capacity was...
I agree with Eric that this isn't uncommon and it has alot to do with how the modules work together in pairs (banks). It is key to also have a...
The max setting on my charger only goes to 1A but I would suggest using the highest discharge setting your chargers are capable of. Ideally you...
Yes, my charger was set to charge using the NiMH function so hopefully this tapering was being done automatically for me during the cycling process.
X2 Email Toyota directly for info (see link) on whether that part number includes both new and refurbished battery packs (post the answer here...
No worries at all and I certainly appreciate your experience on the subject. My batteries are very well cooled and it's still near freezing here...
Eric, I appreciate the input but I'm not sure what you mean because I've seen people in the thread using 5A at high SOC cycling without much issue...
It's taking quite a while to cycle through all the batteries even with 2 quad chargers (I'm using very conservative settings with 2A charge rates)...
I thought I would add to this thread since it was very helpful in my own diagnosis. After picking up a mini VCI setup I have to say it because...
x2 This whole scenario smelled funny from the get go, but if you're lucky you you used a check to pay for the car which you can use in court...
The Toyota techs will use Techstream to view the individual banks (2 modules per bank). If any of the banks show as weak (may only have one cell...
I wouldn't worry too much on the drive, but here is a few more suggestions for when you make the journey. The battery is used to activate the CVT...
I'm quite sure I only have one bad cell on one module (waiting for my mini VCI to view actual blocks with the Techstream software). The...
Unfortunately you're right in that case......I would probably just go for a used pack recently removed from service as you suggested in the other...
Great pic and I'd expect the burnt modules were because of the climate down being so hot. I've been clearing it on mine for a while too but I...
Too bad you don't know anyone that could help you install a new module and then you could go and pay for the battery test each year after that (as...
Hopefully the development of grid chargers for these vehicles will help simulate more active use (topping up) similar to what taxis might see.
I used to work as an ASE mechanic (rebuilding engines, transmissions, etc) most working on imports (esp Toyota, Honda, Nissan) , but we did work...
You dońt need to use the wrong tranny fluid on a Chrysler to get grinding noises with lots of smoke. :D
X2 This was the first thing that came to mind but you can add a can of Seafoam to help with any water that was in the fuel. Typically you will...
