I have a dim recollection of someone asking about battery replacement. I've been leafing through the 2012 PHV fsm. There are codes, and...
I believe that the market will provide traction battery supply in some form, at a price better than new from the dealer. We don't know yet what...
Okay, I thought you were talking about BMS+ So, let's go back a little. 241,2V is the most that your LiFePO4 pack could provide, in the case...
I predict Gen 1 will not be widely in service 10 year from now, due to problems with battery, inverter, and transaxle life.
If Lithium == LiFePO4, that you charge to 3,65V/cell, which later falls to 3,35V/cell after surface charge dissipation, for 241,2V in your pack....
I guess the one thing I wonder, how will your lithium packs overcharge the Prius NiMH pack? Are they over 260V?
You can have: Poor connections inside one or both of the battery packs. Sense/balance wires for BMS are JST-XH connectors which are not...
Both approaches carry some risk. If you connect to the battery side of the relays (green), then the lines running from there to your contactors...

Thanks, that's an interesting read. I laughed when there is nothing listed for New Mexico. Just one more indication that we aren't part of the...
It depends greatly on conditions, most importantly, the battery state of charge when you start out, and the speed of travel. It is fruitless to...
Salvage title == insurance company write-off. There are shades of salvage title, however. Maryland I think is the most descriptive, having...
The inverter will see the potential, but it won't do anything with it. It would be like having an appliance plugged in but turned off. This...
Put that battery on a 2A charger right now, and maybe you can save it. Maybe not. You can't let the Prius sit for a month without either...
To buy a salvage vehicle, condition has to be perfect. I looked at one for a friend the other day, a Ford Focus with front end damage. The...
I like to pump it in because it doesn't make a mess. I also have a lift. You have to be a little more careful with the funnel+tube method, but...
49 -> 52 could be a combination of the switch to M1 and 100% gas. It could also be related to the grade of oil used, e.g. switching from 5w30 to...
That should be covered by 3/36 warranty. Get to a dealer asap.
I see the potential for a new product, a flexible tubing (snake-like) Scangauge holder that will snap into either the push button start or...
I really like the Bentley repair manual. It is several steps above a Haynes/Chilton. It is the collegiate abridged version of the service...
