    I have build a LFP4 12v battery pack with a BMS that can handle charging 20A and discharging 40A.

    Will it be sufficient to use it on a gen3 Prius?

    Good luck in temperatures colder than 32F with that battery chemistry.

    ???:confused: Why??? They're are already dozens of batteries out there....
    If you were going to mass produce it and sell them for $50, okay.

    No worries. I am at a place with summer 365 days.

    This was built for my solar learning project. So I figured might as well try it out on a Prius. Do take note, I am currently using a factory made 12v LFP4 battery without any issues. Just want to see if the one I built will work with those charging/discharging parameters.
