Something a lot of people don't seem to realize is that when you are discharging to below 0.9V/cell, reversals occur very quickly. In many cases,...
I firmly believe that grid charging and discharging is a very effective tool to maintain balance and improve life. It is VERY important for the...
Understood. I think a lot of it has to do with the higher failure rate of the IMA packs that necessitated an alternative to whole pack...
Hybrid Automotive has recommended progressive deep discharges of both IMA and Prius packs for some time now. They show a chart of bulbs vs. volts...
The Bio-rad 1000/500 is 5-1000V and up to 500mA with a 250W max, so a 240V set @ 500mA is well under the power limit. I really think I just got a...
I tried a 1N4005 (600V/1A), and it seemed to "prefer" that as resetting it was easier, but the only time I can get any kind of function from it is...
It's not worth taking a picture. It can be as easy as 3 of them strapped together with their output wired in series and their input in parallel...
I can build a grid charger new for about $40. It consists of 3X constant current LED Power supplies in series. They work great. No adjustments,...
Glad to hear I'm unknowingly following in other's footsteps... :) Steve
The major downside to this is that a severely imbalanced module will have a cell reverse during the taper at 6V and will maintain a fairly high...
AH... I get it. You're using the load test to compare voltage drops, NOT compute IR. That makes a lot more sense. Healthy ones will have drop...
Lil' bit, but he's been gone over a year... Insight Central: Honda Insight Forum - Search Results I had a situation where modules that seemed...
The expectation that cycling can restore a NiMH module to 100% rated capacity is very unrealistic. There is a natural 1-2% deterioration per year...
Matt is true to his word. Nickel buss bars and a pack of new nuts to boot. Quivering in my hot little hands... Now if I can just gnaw my way...
Wow. You just don't get it. Good luck.
Got it. Thanks. I will resort to module work for final testing. I'm just hoping to eliminate the bulk of the individual module cycles. Thanks...
Matt, To clarify, car was bought new in AK (temp extreme). It currently has 162K on it. It has been in AZ for at least the last 100K miles. I...
I was being facetious. I have extensive experience with NiMH chemistry in the Honda IMA world and have a lot of chargy-dischargy goodies. I have...
Maybe even... rehydrationings!? amIright? :p I would worship you as a god if you could do anything with my Gen1 pack. Holy moly... 36 dead...
This sort of attitude perplexes me. How does anyone have any expectation that members of this site are somehow obligated to help at all, let...
