Battery life expectancy - validation needed for Dr. Prius App

Hi guys,

My name is Jack and I am the developer of Dr. Prius App, I finally got time and enough money to buy a used 2012 Prius Plug-in to do research on, mainly to support the "battery life expectancy test" on Plug-In as I am getting a lot of requests throughout the world.

The new release is out on Android devices (still working on iOS) and I need your help to validate the "battery life expectancy" result, I notice the temperature is affecting the test result by 1~2% on every 10 degree F, my goal is to narrow down this temperature curve in order to compensate the final result no matter how cold or hot the temperature is (from 20 degree F to 120 degree F)

If you don't already have Dr. Prius App installed, please reach out to me and I will send you a promo code to unlock test features for free. If you already have Dr. Prius App I thank you and would really appreciate if you could help me validate the result by running couple of "life expectancy test", each test should take about 15 minutes depending on the condition of your battery, please send me the result along with the year, mileage, battery temperature (can be found in monitor page)and geo-location of your vehicle to [email protected]

Really appreciate your help to make this new feature as precise as possible.

PS: I am getting consistent 89~91% capacity left on my 2012 Prius Plug-In with 85K mile @ 80 degree F battery temperature, I am at southern California where ambient temperature stay between 50~70 at this time of the year.

Best,
Jack

 

OBDLink LX is supported for sure, many of users are using it!
Hybrid battery diagnostic and repair tool for Toyota and Lexus

 

ok guys, iOS is now supported, any feedback on test result will be appreciated.

 

I literally just finished all the research & development and pushed a new beta release out there for Android and iOS. I would wait another month to fine tune the algorithm then call it complete and update the website after.

 

yup, next will be the Prime!
however I have way too many hybrid on my driveway now, this time I will have to rent a Prime for prototyping

 

Hi QuantumFireball,

thanks so much for the result, and NO! please don't trust the result yet as I am still fine tuning all the parameters.

What year and mileage is your Plug-In? Also what was the temperature when you run the test? I need to compensate the temperature as it is effecting the result quite a bit. Also I need to find out the lowest capacity % for a plug-in, 40% is the lowest for regular hybrid but I am not sure that apply to the plug-in, more R&D require...

Hi Punk10,

Prius V with NiMH is fully tested/adjusted, do you have the Euro spec Prius V Lithium ?

Thanks,
Jack

 

Hi QuantumFireball,

A new release is available last night with temperature compensation and more, thanks you again for providing me the valuable data, please keep it coming !
