    Alternatively, a person thinking just "its easy enough to get cells and wire them up right?" may rush in where a better engineer would (responsibly) fear to tread.

    When my pack went bad I went for a new oem pack. Original water pump but I monitor temp and have an audible alarm at 220f.

    I am taking apart my first on phev hv battery today... Ill be able to see whats different at the ecu level because at least on my phev cells there is no BMS... therefore, its why when using larger cells on the PHEV there is no BMS on the actual Cells... its why its "easy enough" to upgrade the phev to have more capacity. hense why I am not workign with some folks to put cells in my phev so ill have ~50kWh of battery available. :) and for those who favor OE cells, you'll be happy to know, thats exactlly what I am using and not the so called cheap China cells. :)

    you are right, that person isnt an engineer by trade... but you see thats why one might be more successful in implementing whats never been done since this person isnt a engineer of batteries by trade, they dont have the fear when they want to implement something to reach their goal. heck... thats what allows them to think so far outside the box, they realized toyotas box and all is so interchangeable... well, on battery cells that is. oh and now engines... because I tell ya, these ECUs in these cars are alot smarter than we think and you could plug up a 2.0L motor and the ecu adjust itself and operates said motor without any ecu mods... clearly I havent shared all of my accomplishments with you all just yet but i will soon. I still havent figured out a way to have abs parts interchangeable... or even just a lower price point that still fucntions like OE for a long period of time. the rear electric motor controller from the obd2 dongle board I had made works, raising the total volts in the system is what I havent figured out for the non PHEV cars, only PHEV cars have high enough volts running through them to support powering an added on rear electric motor. this is why with me having ~50kWh hv battery, it can propel my car and the rear electric motor faster than a non dual motor tesla... thats the goal anyway
