I am Martin and i acutely need help from you. I am writing a project about equalization systems in hybrid vehicles so i seriously need know,how is arrangement of cells in a battery pack (only in series or series/parallel) perhaps even write me a type of cell(producer). Thank you so much and i sorry for my english=)
The current (and immediately prior) generation Prius has 168 NiMH battery cells in series, at a nominal 201.6 V. Earlier generations were also in series, but had more cells, and thus a higher voltage.
You might find some of the hybrid articles at AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICAL ARTICLES interesting along with http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-ii-...cu-secrets-teardown-warning-geek-content.html. However, the first set of links cover the Gen I and II. pEEf's work is on a Gen II. The pack itself (not including the cooling system) on the Gen III is supposedly the same as that of the Gen II.
thank boys and do you happen to know something about arrangement of cells in a battery pack in Prius 4? I listen that there is 3 battery pack working in tandem using li-ion chemistry,but that is all. I need little more information about that.
Prius 4? Are you talking about the PHV Prius demonstrators? If so, there's a whole area at Toyota Prius PHV Plug-In - PriusChat Forums for discussing that. I don't recall if Toyota's released many technical details to the public. Some folks on Priuschat were allowed to drive them very early on and some of the info was given to them under NDA. Yes, we know about the 3 packs and all. I stumbled across http://www.toyota.com/upcoming-vehicles/prius-plug-in/technology.html, but there's not that much detail there by Googling for site:toyota.com prius phv packs. I also stumbled upon http://www.toyota.com/esq/articles/2010/Toyotas_First_Production_Lithium_Ion_Drive_Battery.html.
Prius 4? Are you talking about the PHV Prius? Toyota has never called it "Prius 4". BTW, the PDF at www.toyota.com/esq/pdf/PHVPriusProgramOverview.pdf might prove interesting. I can't believe that I totally forgot about Doug letting us know about http://priuschat.com/forums/prius-h...f-available-liion-capacity-2.html#post1110999. I thanked him almost a year ago.
Correct! Following is a list of generations and model numbers. Gen1: NHW10, NHW11 Gen2: NHW20 Gen3: ZVW30 Gen3 plug-in: ZVW35 Ken@Japan
