    J'ai une prius 2 et une cellule était hs, donc je l'ai changé, mais je suis débutant
    Je n'ai pas rééquilibré les cellules et je suis monté en mélangeant un peu les cellules sans faire attention qu'il fallait les mettre par paire
    bon tout fonctionne, mais ce n'est pas équilibré
    Comme tout est remonté, j'avais lu qu'il était possible de rééquilibrer en roulant, est-ce vrai et quelle est la méthode svp ? Merci beaucoup

    Bonjour,
    The Op said he had a bad cell and swapped it out in his traction battery but did not know about the balancing of cells first. He has read that when the car drives it automatically balances them.???? He wants to know how to enable the car do that.. I'm assuming he just bought a remanufactured NimH cell.

    Bonjour Jelt,
    Essayez de traduire et de lire ce fil.

    Wondering whether I can balance them just use the existing volt signal cable, so I don't need disassemble the whole battery pack
    We tried this repeatedly and did not have any success. The volt signal cable cannot handle even a small sustained load without blowing the fuse. Our Hybrid Battery Rebalancer (Grid Charger) attaches to the main terminals behind the ignition disconnects. The is the only way to safely charge the HV battery as a unit with the vehicle powered off. For the 04-09 Prius, the entire battery cover does not have to come off - just the small end cover.

    The Hybrid Automotive Prius system is done. It's going to be released in just a couple weeks - Memorial Day weekend - if you want a quality sub-$400 Hybrid Battery Rebalancer system that will restore your cells as much as possible without requiring pack disassembly.

    Je pense que votre seule option est de louer ou d'acheter un système de reconditionnement prolongé

    Il est un lien..www.https://hybridautomotive.com/product/prolong-deluxe-reconditioning-package/

    Assurez-vous de sélectionner Gen 2 Prius ... bonne chance! :)
    ce n'était rien.

    Hey Bisco, just go to Google translate and paste the text in and get the translation... In this case the translation of what they said is:

    "I have a prius 2 and a cell was hs, so I changed it, but I'm a beginner. I did not rebalance the cells and I went up mixing the cells a little without paying attention that they had to be put in pairs good everything works, but it is not balanced As everything is reassembled, I had read that it was possible to rebalance while driving, is this true and what is the method please? Thank you so much"

    These batteries are re-balanced by charging them with a high voltage trickle charger like the ones sold by Hybrid Automotive or Maxx Volts. Or you can build you own for cheap: Build Hybrid Battery Maintenance Gear For Under $100 | PriusChat

    According to Google Translate:

    "Ces batteries sont rééquilibrées en les chargeant avec un chargeur d'entretien à haute tension comme ceux vendus par Hybrid Automotive ou Maxx Volts. Ou vous pouvez construire votre propre pour pas cher: Build Hybrid Battery Maintenance Gear For Under $100 | PriusChat

    hi
    sorry i use translate traduction
    ok
    but now another triangle red
    I have to start over.
    reassemble everything, retest,
    it lasted 3 or 4 weeks
    what are the lithium batteries found on aliexpress worth? 18650 type batteries?
    the high voltage charger that rebalances for $100 is it easy to do? because you still need 200v right?
    THANKS

    Bonjour,

    My P0A080 fault code and battery rebuild | PriusChat

    Cela explique ce que traverse votre voiture. Ali Express vend de NOUVELLES batteries NiMH que vous pouvez également installer vous-même. Je pense qu'ils coûtent 1 000 USD. Je vais essayer de trouver un lien.
