I'm making a 2kW power generator out of a Prius. I disassembled the battery and removed the wires. Now I can connect to it and take energy but also charge it https://www.youtube.com/shorts/94LdsCHZVWg
The charger is made in Poland, a Polish patent, not a Chinese one. The charger charges a maximum of 7A, the initial charging current can be determined. You can set when the charger should stop charging. I don't know what smaller battery the charger can charge because I don't have another battery and I have no way to check it. The charger charges my HV battery perfectly. The maximum can give about 1000V - 1500V
I've thought of converting my parts cars into generators - the engines still run just fine, just the bodies wrecked/parted out. But the HV batteries are the weak link. If you're driving the car every day to get your use out of the battery, you're good. But to just have it sitting, waiting for you to need a generator, which would be my case since the cars aren't road legal, the HV batteries go bad.
I do not see a problem. connect my charger to the HV battery. the charger will maintain the battery voltage for several years. And whenever you need a generator, turn it on and you will be king the most important thing in this set is the engine, the battery is only needed to start it and start charging and stabilize the voltage. So the battery may be weak, but ok
I started the Prius and put a load on the 2.5 kWh HV battery. A DC/AC converter (pure sine wave) with a maximum power of 4 kWh is connected to the HV battery. The converter was manufactured in Poland and is a Polish patent, not a Chinese copy from nowhere. Everything works perfectly.
my prius did not let me down again. Today there was no electricity in the garage, the excavator damaged the cable. I connected the drill to the Prius and drilled a hole for the new cable bravo me. Poland is on top again, the only Prius-generator in the world was made in Poland
The idea isn't entirely new .... Electric power from a hybrid, connecting inverter to the high-voltage system | PriusChat
Oh, thanks for letting me know, it didn't occur to me that someone else did that. I just did what I wanted without looking for information on the Internet. I'd love to read it.
tried driving with an extra battery. The savings amounted to 1 liter of fuel per hundred. Unfortunately, I only tested it for two days because the battery was sold. I'll make another one and try to test it more reliably. If it actually worked this way, it wouldn't be bad, because the price would be comparable to a gas installation and the savings would be similar. Therefore, the battery will pay for itself in approximately 50,000. This means that after 500 charging cycles, the battery has a lifespan of 3,000 cycles. Another battery was ordered by a car repair shop, I wonder why they need something like that unless it's for a welding machine? Soon I will post videos of how I tortured the battery with a welder and more.
Test of the EN-EKO off grid inverter, cooperation with a 20KW high-voltage energy storage (310V Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH)) and a Toyota Prius I (NHW11) 1.5 VVT-i (101 HP) Hybrid e-CVT generator.
