Hybrid Battery

Calm my friends, rumor and opinion can be overcome with fact

 

There have been reports posted here on PriusChat of people being denied traction batteries at dealers, including at least one where someone ponied up the money online, then arranged transportation to go a considerable distance to that dealer to pick it up, only to be told at the counter "oh, we can't hand it to you."

So it is reasonable for a person to want to understand how prevalent those experiences are.

 

Toyota hybrid battery upgrade pack– NexPower Energy

Is this really 2014, or 2024?

I thought the sodium battery was more recent?

30K seems a lot in less than a year?

 

Obviously, a typo.....

 

So Sept 2024?


Please give us more feedback on this battery ASRDogman?

I do note the company gives a discount if you have one of their earlier batteries that failed prematurely, that seems pretty good.

 

Planned obsolescence, yet we fall for it every time

 

Go right to the source, Jack.
It's been working for me! I'm very happy with it.

 

IMO, the NexPower Sodium-Ion battery is a gamble. No one knows how long it will last in a Prius until they have been tested for 5 to 10 years. This battery is now being beta tested by the people who purchase the battery. The previous NexPower v1 and v2 Lithium-Ion batteries were also beta tested by the people who purchased it, and that did not go too well. There is nothing available on the market today better than a new Toyota OEM battery, which has proven to last for 10 or more years.

 

Some people buy houses that have flooded five times and require flood insurance. Slightly lower cost, updated interiors, first time inexperienced buyers. It does not end well but many folks only learn from the school of hard knocks.

 

Developers build in flood plains because land is cheap. They get the USACE to certify it as a 200 year flood plain and get it rezoned as a single family housing. Seen it done many times out here.
A decade ago; "someone forgot to slip the envelope under the door"; a major subdivision went from a 200 year flood plain to a 50 year flood plain overnight and homeowner's federal flood insurance went up 4x-5x annually. The next year, It magically turned back into a 200 year flood plain; because of the county's plan to strength the levees. No actual work has really been done; just some scribbles on a piece of paper.......

YMMV

 

How much is the price of rice in china?

 

The main thing is not just to buy batteries where it is well advertised, but so that they can repair not only volts, but also amperes, because capacity is more important, as I understand it, if they talk about this, it means they know something.

 

Yes, repair is a complicated thing. I know something. I can advise that you need to take out the battery and leave it for about 5 days and after that you can check the voltage because they have a very large self-discharge and if you are lucky 50x50 bad checks will show themselves as a very large drop in volts.

 

My car reported a P0A80 about 2 weeks ago. I parked the car in garage for a day, then measured the voltage. The strongest block showed 15.68V, and the weakest one 15.59V. Stdev = 0.03V.
