My previous attempt at a DIY grid charger had mixed results. While the battery improved from 30 to 40% according to Dr Prius, it meant that my...
If you have spare cells outside of your Prius, I’d advise getting a hobby charger to charge them instead of the prolong. These are very cheap, and...
Thanks for the offer. My DIY charger worked fine, but I'm replacing a few battery modules next, as it recently started throwing code again.
Sorry @Panicos, I think my assumption that the Prolong harness splices the fan wires is incorrect. If you look at their installation instructions,...
Yep, that’s the right angle, looking directly at the pigtail from the blower. Not visible in the picture, but the 2 black wires are shorted...
@Panicos I’m not exactly sure how you are looking at the connector, but if you are looking straight on at the fan connector, with the tab on top,...
It seems that there are a bunch of cheaper electronic loads available since I last looked, so you do not have to go the fleabay route. I did a...
@Tombukt2 The charging part is still a Meanwell 350mA CC supply, that can output 143-286VDC. The Electronic Load itself does not output anything....
1. Only 115k. I live in Hawaii now. I can only drive around the island that many times :) 2. Got the P0A80 code. Dealer quoted $6k+ to replace the...
Thanks to all the other members in the DIY Grid Charger threads, I just finished building mine. I thought I should share my version, since it uses...
Everything went as expected. It charged up to 238.43V overnight, then slowly dropped to 237.54V over the next few hours. I disconnected...
Charged it up to full over 20 hours. This time, it did not stabilize at 238.95V like the previous 2 runs, but rather climbed to 238.30V, then...
The aftermarket ones claim to be better, but require you to replace the entire wiper arm, and then you are stuck getting their refills going...
I'm in Manoa, right behind Punahou School. Let me finish up charging up my Prius this weekend, then, hopefully, I won't be needing my setup for...
Hi @Matthew Holloway, I just started down this path myself, and should be completely done by Sunday. See What type of connector does a Prolong...
It says it discharged to 101V overnight in 9:09:22h, but the current voltage says 174.06V? [ATTACH] I discharged it again to 101V just to be...
I was reading the manual to figure out how to program a more sophisticated discharge profile, and it turns out that this type of device is...
Dongles! [ATTACH] First, a Y cable so that I can hook up the Electronic Load in series to increase the voltage shown to the Mean Well supply,...
One problem with an Electronic Load is that once it hits the target voltage of 134V, it will reduce the current draw to maintain that voltage. But...
I left the charger on overnight, and it went up to 239.94V. [ATTACH] I added an extension cable so I can move everything out of the trunk....
