    Got my new battery in last week or so but have been super busy.

    Great upgrade for a prius.

    The ON/OFF button is perfect for those moments when you need to disconnect.

    Then the bluetooth adds an extra layer.

    Only weighs 9.4lbs. 20260501_124811.jpeg 20260501_124853.jpeg 20260501_124900.jpeg 20260501_125110.jpeg 20260501_125407.jpeg 20260501_125424.jpeg

    So it has its own independent Bms internally and the crappy 12V charge system of Prius will keep it up? No need for special charge sessions on a l ion charger? The noco require their chargers . Or lifpo l ion capable not regular chargers.?

    Great features. The 36AH capacity is smaller than the 45AH OEM battery though.
