I am also working on replacement of NiMh with Li Ion. Each cell of toyota prius is 7.2v 6.5 Ah and all are connected in series to give output of 144v 6.5 Ah. The lithium ion like 18650 has a 3.7v and 2.0Ah. If we connect 2s4p configuration 8 cell of 18650 results into 7.4v 8.0Ah of a single unit which replacement for each cell of NiMh. What is your review about this ? What problems will occur? What problems did you face in you working?
I hope there will be no problem and better performance because of lithium Ion battery. I hope car will perform better because of lithium Ion battery. Kindly share the results
it was designed to use a NimHi battery. GL getting it to work on a LiIo batt, you would need a NiumHi to LiIo converter controller.
In Jordan you can change battery to lithium This is page Facebook الاردنية لصيانة الهايبرد JHM - Home | Facebook Posted via the PriusChat mobile app.
A PriusChat member @jacktheripper has been working on a lithium replacement for the Nimh batteries. He is very knowledgeable. You might try sending him a message. Here is a link to a discussion he started about this: Rainbow Prius Hybrid Powered by Lithium! | PriusChat
The NIMH batteries are proven to last up to 20 years. No one has a Prius with Li-Ion batteries over 8 years old. What problem is it you are trying to solve?
