If it had a BMS, it would have to have a current sensor as well, which would require more than two terminals to connect to the battery.
Power-tool lithium-ion batteries have a built-in BMS inside that calculates the SOC. Again, the SOC is charge, which is the time integral of the...
The BMS likes to keep the SOC around 80% or so. But it will never be successful in bringing the SOC there after a deep discharge. You should hook...
SOC stands for state of charge. Charge is the time integral of current, the latter of which is charge per unit time. Therefore, you need to...
After a night of charging, a 69% SOC makes no sense. As I told you, you shouldn't trust the SOC numbers shown by the battery monitor. They are...
It probably does. Toyota probably uses the same miserly, bug-ridden BMS algorithm in all of its new vehicles, especially the hybrids, in which...
That Noco Genius charging profile sounds right. The first stages take only a few minutes, but the last stage takes about 48 hours until the green...
They don’t do anything. That disconnection mentioned in that document is not for the entire battery but some fuse for some nonessential accessories.
So, an LFP 12-V battery doesn’t really work in cold? Great.
No, Gen 4 and Gen 5 Prius HEV and Prius PHEV all have the same miserly battery-management system (BMS), which sometimes fails to bring the SOC to...
No, discharged but not dead. The Noco Genius will easily bring it to full charge. There shouldn't be more than about 10% capacity loss.
Chances are that the 12-V battery had a low SOC from the get–go (since you purchased the car). As I said repeatedly here, the BMS is not capable...
I see—so, only the Gen 4 and Gen 5 PHEVs cannot accommodate a spare tire then.
But you don't have any place to put a spare in the HEV AWD and PHEV models. You are not buying a Prius with a useful hatch and then put a spare...
Why don’t you drive for 20–100 miles and get it from a different dealer? The dealer lots are full of silver XLE AWDs. There are currently 20 in...
Why don’t you wait for Gen 5½, which is less than a year away? They are obviously selling you a lemon anyway.
This is the coolant system with the heater core in the Gen 4 PHEV. The heater core is described as “straight-flow aluminum II (SFA-II).” [IMG] [IMG]
There is one in the Gen 4 PHEV. Since Gen 4 and Gen 5 are practically identical cars, I am sure there is one in the Gen 5 PHEV as well.
Your body or something else is rubbing on the lock button on the door handle.
Not sure what the question is, but as Trollbait said, there is both an electric heat pump and a heater radiator core in the Gen 4 and Gen 5 PHEVs....
