Well, actually,,, (n) the booster pack acts like a 'battery charger' when it has more voltage than the car's 12V battery. The current flows from...
Ahh, yes! The JOY of having a modern PHEV from a major manufacturer. One that requires you to dik around with plugging in the car twice when 'at...
Having 'relays rattle' is not good for anything. A better technique might be to connect the booster to the 12V battery and let it add current to...
Nothing like installing lots of parts to fix your new car. :unsure: Why not have toyota fix this problem?
This all sounds like an amazing project! It's hard to visualize a battery pack that large in a Gen3 PHEV. (n) Physically, it must take up a lot of...
I'm asking because I don't know this stuff. Thanks again for an informative post! I have no 'Beliefs' on this subject. Other than 'a Lithium pack...
Some here would definitely question this statement. I don't know. I'm on my 3rd Gen3 and still trying to figure out the best route to avoiding...
Is this true for all European Prii, or just the PHEV Prius? Why isn't the BMS used with OEM Lithium packs transferable to 'Replacing the Ni-Mh...
Thanks for posting this pic of the thing that is placed in the block of a Gen4. Other than that are the block and head the same? Maybe 'another'...
OK, so when you said: "More to the point, Jack's battery packs have to go through rigorous testing by international battery certification groups,...
So that's at the very least 4 separate testing orgs, which hopefully publish test data for the consumers to read. My question is: Are they...
I thought we were talking about a dead 12V battery.... Yes they can fail without warning.... And Lead is the most recycled material there is. It...

This is where an El'Cheapo 12V 'Jumper Pack' would work. But does the car require 12V power to stay in N? You'd think if all that is wrong it a...
Man you are suffering for your beliefs ! I salute you, sir!! What about the windows fogging up? Engine heat if free. Use it and be normal! (y) A...
Won't the T-stat need to be open for this thing to flow? It's funny, I've never heard of a Gasser owner not using the cabin heat to 'Help with...
Yes, you are experimenting and burning excess gas in the process. You don't have to work so hard driving a Prius. :whistle: You could be...
Yikes, so instead of a proper BMS that is made for Li-Ion, it 'averages' modules... What about balancing the differences in cells, like a proper...
"How cold was it?"o_O Where I live we get all sorts of 'cold weather'.... I trust the spec sheets from the cell manufacturer on 'operating temp...
In his defense, it sounds like a lot of the replacements after selling off a $3300 OEM pack were for 'Research'. V1, then V2.5 Li-Ion and then on...
