    4 of these units could add 8 kw demand and 10kwh to EV only use, I have little experience with Prius batteries.
    opinions?

    Voltage controlled to maintain %80 charge you could add as many as you could fit.
    Basically a dc to dc converter add a bridge diode to the ac and let them run.
    When soc gets low the inverter turns on.

    I am a retired electronic tech, I've got 4 weeks with a 2006 Prius.
    I will drive this for a few years then upgrade, that should give me time to learn what to upgrade to.

    I just learned however that the 2019 and up RAV 4 uses a DOUBLE battery pack. Looks like it maybe may be two Prius c packs together. Very exciting and wondering if any coding or adapting can be done. Or possibly even copying it.

    Because Toyota has proven that we’re not crazy to think two nimh batteries can work.

    Toyota is not in the business of proving the presence or absence of insanity, that is not their profile.

    Is adding a second battery possible? | Page 6 | PriusChat

    Yes, thank you I am aware my information about the two battery was wrong. It is hardly common knowledge. But again I appreciate your help in enlightening myself and the whole internet community!
