The Anderson connectors are certainly becoming difficult to obtain in the UK - But I've found that RS components still stock them... I've still...
Hi FWD, The pack which blew looked a little like yours. I assume though that it was more than that which caused my issues (internal corrosion)...
My initial inspection and theory was that some water damage had internally caused a short in two out of the twenty-eight modules. Of course, I...
Not if you've seen the old battery! The local Tip actually take the batteries for recycling, so it won't go into landfill. [IMG] Obviously, I...
Yup - That's right. I have 16mm / 6AWG too. The minimum recommended is 8AWG, so we're both one size larger than is recommended. The new battery...
Interesting. I wonder if I should do what you have done when building the packs this time. Battery Number 3 (the replacement) arrives today... Nikki
Yes! What year module was it which went wrong for you? Had it been involved in any nasty incidents like mine? Of course, when I build the next...
Nope, I am not using the Monitor+, just BMS+ :) Nikki. (New battery arrives tomorrow!)

On Mondays and Tuesdays I make short trips, so fuel economy is at it's best. Wednesdays I go to Wells, which is about a 50 mile round trip. My...
The Force, Might you be persuaded to offer vinyl decals in the Prius Chat Shop? Nikki.
I was surprised as everyone else that your charger pulled power so quickly. I do agree with Plugin Supply that it's a charger related problem....
Mark, I will indeed do a better video when it's all finished! :) Fuel economy as of just now has reached 88.1 mpg (UK). [IMG] It's really...
Sorry Theo, CAN-view index :) I can't spell! You could always source a third-party NiMH pack - or alternatively go with the calcars method and...
