Hello Eric,
Do you break down a gen 2 HV battery and restore individual cells then build a pack with good ones? I am wondering about doing a batch discharge cycle, 10 modules at a time, and drop the voltage to 6v then charge, discharge to 4.5v then charge last cycle discharge to 3.6 volts and then charge. After this test capacity and discard below 5 amps.

Hi Eric, I had a bad module in 2008 Prius, and I replace it. The car starts working again, it is good news. But when I monitor the voltage, I found module 11 has lowest voltage when parking (not charging), but has highest voltage when driving (engine also charging the batteries). Is something wrong, or need to take some steps to correct it? Thanks in advance.

Hello Eric, we have a 2007 Prius with 143K miles. We just got and P3017 codes, the battery cooling fan is running nonstop and we have a Red Triangle, yellow brake, VSC and check engine light. Signs point to a failing HV battery. We live near Watertown and are prepared to buy a replacement. Do you still provide the service?

Can i purchase a battery pack for a gen 2 prius from you or someone else on priuschat? This ust seems like a trustworthy and honest community

Can I buy a set of 3rd gen cells already balanced charged from you?

Hey Eric,
I know it has been a long time but how has that "newpriusbatteries.com" pack treated you? I am looking at buying a kit and wanted to see if you have had any trouble. Also you saved me a ton a of time a few years ago when i began replacing my first pack. So thanks for your active contributions to a bunch of neewbs.

Hi. I know you are hybrid pro thats why i contact you. I had problems with my prius. Is there any way you can give me advice and i will pay you for over the phone advice. I live in Chicago and i am unable to go to Madison as of now :/

Hi Eric, Prodigyplace recommended I contact you with my dilemma.

need inexpensive way to diagnose (c profile picture). regular obd2s have not produced any codes. checked engine oil (someone said it maybe the cause) and it is perfectly fine. Checked the battery 12 V, also fine.

How do I go about diagnosing this?

Error goes away for few m minutes after 12V battery is reconnected but come back after few minutes.

I am converting my and DWs bicycle to ebikes. Could you simply recommend a reliable, reputable source for Lion battery packs and controllers, as well as the bits and pieces I need?mthanks for your help!

1. My brother in Albuquerque NM bought a 2002 Gen 1 with 120,000 miles on it 3 weeks ago. He loves car and so far no problems but he is worried about HV battery failure. To ease his fears, would you know a good Prius shop in Albuquerque, OR would your shop rebuild a Gen 1 battery if he shipped it up to you? Could,you give a ballpark as to what such a battery rebuild would,likely cost?

Thank you for your helpful comments to my posts and being available via telephone. I appreciate it very much!!! I'm just Hybrid Driver not a tech. Thank you for going above and beyond. :) Have a blessed day!

I tried to call you a few times and there's never an answer. Do you have limited hours or an office number I can reach with questions about my battery?

Working to save hybrids one battery at a time.

Hi eric: I am happy to know you and share in your knowledge of Prius. Thank you for calling me at your expense D Milligan

NortTex,
Can vary. Sometimes it's a bit unexpected.
I'd say post the question on the main forum and see what the group thinks.

Hello
Do you know or what are the indications(signs) of a HV traction battery about to fail?

Joy! I have a friend!
