Time for an update on the BMS system and PHEV kit. I'll have my parts back tonight and will shortly be testing out rev 2 of the BMS. Rev 1 had:...
I thought I'd give an update on this thread. I've been using the PHEV kit consistently since about April. I haven't gone through many tanks of...
Haha, you bet, and with my PHEV kit its gonna get coooold in the car.
For some time now I wondered why Toyota hasn't put the block heater in the coolant thermos vs the engine block. I know its already part of the...
And why is that?
Yeah, I'm seeing that now. Interesting design. I take it that the pump runs off the hybrid pack vs the 12V then?
Thanks Mike. There is a Prius at a salvage yard here and the engine is out of it. I was thinking of pulling it as a possible part for an EV.
Does anyone know where the vacuum (brake) pump is located in the engine bay?
Yeah, that could be done. It would be pretty far down on the list of things to do though.
I just got in from checking the charging of the pack again. I found a/the issue. For some reason my charger is suddenly cutting out at a lower...
Last night right before heading to bed I checked the phev kit and the carger. I noticed it had kicked itself off. I had drained it down quite a...

Well, I decided to throw the kit back in the car while waiting for new celllogs to arrive. At least one of mine has a toasted alarm port, so I...
Out of the 32 batteries, I got ~20 to take a charge. Obviously, the capacity is a bit low on these cells, but I'm going to play around with them...
I finished up the hack shield this morning. I did make a small change to the schematic. To reduce the amount of resistors needed I put just one...
