HV Battery to ECU wiring diagram? Installing one PIP 1.1kWh module in a Gen 2.

I take it you haven't seen the guy install lithium as a direct swap yet? He's from Tennesee?

 

let me ask you this... how would you see this working?

 

now, those people, the non-visionary tell it like it i type... If by chance their "like it is" is determined to be incorrect, do you think thay would admit it or hide and pretend they don't exist?

I'm one of those visionary type of people, so when I see lithium batteries swapped in a Gen 2 without fires and such...or additional bms... that's what I see all while ensuring ive covered basis on any what-ifs. That said... literally a direct swap and if no spaks or fires for 5 minutes ill turn the car on with tech stream running. I hear I have to clear the battery codes a certain way but ill see what bridges appear I have to cross.

I will say, trying to find the PIP battery connector harness with the temp sensors has been a task... tomorrow i go get the battery terminal rings and wire to start crimping and making my own wire harness. my connector guy usually gets back to me fast and no word from him I take it to mean he doesnt have what I requested or still looking. so i reached out to my usual connector go toas and some new ones... look at what this company wants for the connectors!!! hell naw.. to the naw naw naw!



also since I need the module connector harness for my PIP and dont have a spae one.. so far.. ive only found one for sale on all of the internet and its not even the one with temp sensors..


and i did find a Gen two harness.. umm.. gonna try local dismantlers tomorrow for both

lastly, there are single PIP battery modules with the harness for sale, but after talking to a few hybrid mechanic shops its sounding like PIP parts are rare and most don't buy them!

hell even my engine wire harness... talking through 8 different dealerships only one was able to provide the correct part number since i have the advanced tech package with 8 speaker jbl... hahaha Toyota wants $4k for the engine wire harness on my car and seeing as how i was told incorrect info by 7 dealerships. If they sell me the wrong one, I cant return it.. ha!

 

wait.. where did I insult you? that I don't recall...

 

for me.. nothing you've said provides any substantial substance on why it won't work, that is what I am missing here.

the same to you, saying it won't work and defining why is a moot point to me like my theories to you...

 

You know, I understand your point. I think for me, I'm not the guy to buy a new car and wait until his warranty is over before he starts modifying it. I'm the guy who doesn't care about warranties, particularly when I buy a new to me car. Now, a new Lease, the different story, I love my warranty and probably got them to give me an unlimited mileage one somehow... thats only because it's the top of the line AMG with all options and leasehackr showed me how to win big at the end of the deal.

In this scenario tho, my 2013 PIP now has 8.8kWh of batteries sitting nice and clean installed as if they came from the factory, it's just.. I need ~70kWh of batteries which I am still working on obtaining. I am also the guy who wasn't satisfied with a 1.5" lift kit on my car and now it's the tallest lifted Gen 3 in America that actually goes off the pavement. Even those Gen 2 with radical lift out of Arizona... you never see them off the pavement up 4x4 trails where I travel.

Another plan with the perfectly good PIP HV batteries is taking as many cells as I can fit in the rear where my current 12V battery is and the opposite side where the other 85ah AGM battery sits with hopes it'll get me over 150ah in 12V Lithium power per side!

This Gen 2 was gifted with a bad battery and recently replaced ABS parts... Its the car I'm building with some never before made on a Prius take me off the pavement so I rip vehicle... my attchment to the need of this vehicle is that of what I'm doing. Testing my theories as it doesnt appear many have had my visions that keep me up at night about how amazing Hybrid technology is and how soon many more will with the whole only supercharged v8 coupe you can buy in 2023 is the Jaguar ftype... or maybe its 2024

Point is with all of this.. I thank you for providing facts regarding my possible outcome, that why I post..this exploratory quest I am on to answer questions I have like... what if the Sienna AWD is similar to the Rav4... or what is the Rav4 Similar to? The rear end I have from the UX is the exact as Prius and the others with that little motor... if the Rav4 Prime is quicker than a Supra... What would a Sienna do? wait wait wait. what if a ~268hp electric motor was back there like the one in mine? or... what if we put larger non oe batteries or even OE.. BZ4x modules in my Prius.... or.. a Tundra... Hybird with PHEV conversion and 200kWh of battereies. or two from the BZ4x.... The Hybrid Performance Era is here and the Prius or GS450h is the Drive train chosen for most DIYEV projects....

so have i measured or did the battery calculator yet on this pip to gen2? nope. I went straight to basic conversion. 6500amerps or whatever is like 1.3kWh in nihm.... lithium module is 1.1kWh in Lithium... not a real direct 1:1 conversion between the two either... soo.. long as I follow the gen2 battery ordering when applied and to connector pins... and since now.. i thought i couldve bought a pip harness, the one out of the 4 with the temp sensor and not extra unneeded cable. nope. only one harness on the local to me internet and its not the one I wanted. can you believe that? and and.. most hybrid mechanics shops(was just at pomona pull part ran into the guys from greenbean I know) dont buy pip batteries and such.... my easy using oe pip battery wire harness plan was shot out of water yesterday. but today is a new... goal is car running before EOW.

they have the same number of cells.. I didn't want to sit and crimp all those wires and route them al neatly to make my own wire harness..

 

hahaha I cant post what my active plan and course of action is on something I've never done with hopes someone smarter than me types something that will help guide my sail into the open sea alone? Isn't that why we are all here?
heh.. and wasting both of our times and not providing facts to me on why it wont wok.... some sort of words typed on a screen that hold value? keep scrolling..

 

I love you too my little Kumquat!

 

You know... the part that gets me to this day... The folks who feel their opinion is 100% the way things are. That said, I'd be a fool to not at least attempt to understand where someone is coming from. Whether it comes from a loving, compassionate heart or one of malice and hatred.Granted it sounds like you are a customer, for that I thank you and I won't let your patience be in vain!

That to say, you should've waited just a little longer, they mimicked my flaw. ha! One that I didn't want to release. :: chuckles ::
It took the new guy some time to get his bearings settled... the show is about to start real soon and I thank you for your feedback!

Sepertly.. im not trying to push anything but get my Gen 2 running... using the OE Plugin Cells I have left over after upgrading my batteries... If you only knew how good Jack and I are... smdh... like I said, the part that gets me to this day... The folks who feel their opinion is 100% the way things are.

Lastly... I've made it so there are no more delays ever, took some time... I learned some things... got rid of those I thought were supporters and had to obtain new levels of product manufacturing I was not aware of during the initial launch! You know... Toyota has people wait up to and sometimes more than 12 months for a Catalytic Converter? Sure, people were waiting close to that initially for Sun Shades, but not anymore... little do you know the site has said out of stock while we transition to a new platform to support multiple fulfillment locations... sigh... I didn't want orders coming in to then have more angry customers, heh.. cant win either way with some of you all!

 

whaaa? you can't even make a purchase on the site... how can people sending...nevermind. Just wasted lines on the screen for nothing...
