    Here is a prototype of the sodium-ion 12v version for our Prius by Nexcell.

    I need to get terminal adapters to make it work as my cables were changed to normal terminals when I bought it.

    I may also just use it as a backup power source and charge it from my solar roof panel mod. 20240914_200525.jpeg 20240914_200536.jpeg 20240914_203700.jpeg

    I question the size, 4 x 200Ah Sodium ion cells will fit in the same spot the original lead acid 12v battery fitted. Just requires a good active cell balancer as the Prius max 12v recharge is well below the 16v the 4 x 200Ah cells can handle, and not much hope of drawing more current than the 200Ah cells can deliver, or charging faster than they can accept it ..... It would certainly be enough capacity to run an inverter from for camping or emergency house power during a grid outage ......

    It is unlikely that 4x200Ah will fit into the auxiliary battery compartment of the Prius.
    The dimensions of the 200Ah are quite large. Weight 35 -+1.5 kg.
