Battery is in the car.  I decided to leave the service center and head back to the hotel. They will keep the car overnight and I will pick it up in the morning. There is nothing else special to stay and take more pictures. All thats left is to put everything back together, charge and test it. |

Using an air vent as a cable exit does not seem like good practice. http://jaygroh.dreamhost.com/priusch...w/DSC04404.JPG |

I will try to answer all questions the best I can as soon as I get back home and sort things out and drive a few miles to see how things work.

My Car: 2004 Prius Package: #4 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | Re: REVIEW: Hymotion Battery Plug-In Prius I know everyone has a thousand questions for you, but I am adding a few more to the list: 1. What does the dash button and light do? 2. Can you disable the system and if so what type of steps are required to use the supplemental battery (just unplug and go)? 3. Is the charger for the batteries attached to the bottom of the unit (filling the spare tire area)? 4. Did it come with an owners manuel, if so, could you scan and attach it to your next post? 5. How do you know the SOC on the L5 battery pack? 6. Does the vehicle sag from the additional weight, if so, do you plan to compensate for the additional weight? O.K. I will stop bombarding you with questions...for now anyway. Last edited by jrmgkia; 08-12-2008 at 05:43 PM. |

My Car: 2008 Prius Package: #4 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 4 | Re: REVIEW: Hymotion Battery Plug-In Prius Hey - thanks for the posts and pics. My tentative install date is in October and I'm really curious to know what is in store and what MPG results I may expect! I also am curious to know if the system can be disabled, for instance if I'm driving over mountains I'd like to turn the system off if coasting down for a long time... Congrats! You must be really excited to get your new and improved baby back! |
