    You can use a Hybrid Automotive charger to charge the entire pack at once.
    Otherwise any small, appropriate voltage, hobby charger or power supply will let you charge one module at a time.

    Personal (one battery) or commercial use (several batteries)?

    Many batteries from hybrid cars. Fully charging all cells of the battery and discharging. Charging the whole battery as a pack or many cells together at the same time. I dont want to charge each cell seperately it will take months.

    I considering buying this. I want to charge a battery as whole, balance the cells, and discharge it. What i dont want is a charger who charges is cell seperately ( which will take days to charge a whole battery ) Do u think this product will do for me ? Are u satisfied by it ?

    It is definitely a safe product.
    It will do the entire HV pack at once.

    How much time aproximately does it take to charge ? I know its not standart it depends on the battery but 2 hours ? 24 hours , an estimination. How do u tell if the battery is fully charged ? Is there an alert from the product ? Which device do u have the standart or the Discharge ready ? What's the difference ? I am sorry for making so many questions but i sent an email on priuschat and they didnt answer me for some reason. Thank you for your help mate.

    Yes so far but I've only been using mine for a few months.

    This should help answer some of your questions: Prolong Battery Systems FAQ – Hybrid Automotive
