    1. Nice work, what were the symptoms that related to the relay failure?

    2. I watched the high-speed video only. What is the flexible tool that you used to start the screws? Looks like a handy device.

    1: i am redoing my PHEV with litium this time and manual disconnecting for test
    i forgot to disconnect when shutting down and start again so there was a lot of current over the prius relays
    this welded the internal relay shut closed.
    these are not made to handle a high load switching just handle a high load when closed and stay closed

    2:have nu clu how you call that in englisch ;-)
    dont even now what its called in dutch haha
    a fexable grapper?
    it handy indeed
