New Hybrid Battery made by Dr. Prius, apparently [post copied from Prius C thread]

I’d like to hear more about this from those who have the lithium hybrid battery installed already. My hybrid battery will need reviving or replacement soon.

 

I am in the same boat. My 2010 Prius needs a new battery real soon. I looked at the website for the battery looks very interesting but I would like to hear from some people on Priuschat who have installed the battery.

 

I have had the battery for about a year and honestly there is no better battery, I do not care what anyone else says on here about another company is better because it is not.

Ask anyone who knows me on here I used to say green bean batteries were good only because of their lifetime warranty.

You will be happy you went with the Lithium battery.

Thank you for your input. I will most likely wait until I get a degraded battery code but I suspect it will be soon. I will at that point go with the lithium battery.

 

Good to hear you are happy with it. How many miles since you installed the lithium battery and did your mpg improve? How’s the temperature of the battery during summer traffic? I’m in a warm place so heat is a concern. Thanks

 

I have not bought a scanner yet do you recommend Dr. Prius? I have scanners but they do not watch the voltages for the battery pack.

 

I live in tje high desert and it can get very hot over 100F

The pack has never overheated and temps stay in the normal range.

I have torture tested it in ways I can not speak of.

 

Sounds good. Thank you for your feedback.

 

I just checked the project lithium website for a hybrid battery replacement. They are currently sold out of Prius gen 2 and 3 batteries. Anyone know when the next shipment will be available or how to contact them about it?
Thanks

 

You need to ask: 'Does anyone have experience with lifespan that approaches that of the OEM traction batteries?' Unfortunately, I think nobody does.

Temperature is a very real issue for lifespan of LFP. If you are worried about high temperature affecting NiMH life, be very afraid for LFP. In the absence of a guarantee and credible specs, buyer beware: NexPower NexCell LiFePo Battery Upgrade | Page 2 | PriusChat

 

Yes, I understand it’s a not proven replacement and the Prius system wasn’t designed for lithium. NPB battery replacements won’t be available till early next year 2022 so I’m just checking and researching alternatives. I probably have to replace my 3 weaker modules and do Prolong to buy more time till the supply chain improves.

 

I plan to use the Prolong battery reconditioning system on my oem hybrid battery pack to revive my battery till I can get a new replacement. I’m getting the P0A80 code. I think there aren’t any new packs available because of the shipping delays. Next shipment for NPB is next year according to their website and Project lithium is sold out.

I’m not sure what replacement pack I would get. I’m still researching and just trying to keep my car running. I probably will need to replace a few modules to improve my hybrid battery health and then do the reconditioning.
