You could get the Prolong charger/harness to charge it up. And since it likely is drained, maybe the discharge to balance it up. Check for...
With prolong I think you need to open the pack and install a harness? Check the 12 volt battery voltage, if just to get it out of the way....
The Prolong WILL NOT cure a failing module. It may hide it temporarily, but it will never cure it. Voltage readings, without a load test can be...
True, and a good clarification. I was assuming that @taxibuddy meant charging as the shop was doing rather than with a Prolong.
Thank you for your post, @Abarnabe, I'm getting very inspired by your charger and discharger system and probably will make my own soon, since I...
The charger will display the voltage and when you see the voltage stable (within 1-2 volts for ~4-6 hours), you’re good:). Mind sharing a little...
Wow it says new condition with 200k on the battery. Almost 99%. I guess prolong works even tho voltages aren't super balanced. Posted via the...
Gen3 might be different, but gen 2 prolong harness runs the fan by gradually increasing voltage from 0v up to 6.5v and while you can hook the fan...
As the name implies that only prolongs the life. It is not as good as new. @edthefox5 just replaced the battery he extended with the Prolong...
It's not the overall voltage by itself that's the problem. When the car regenerates at high current (you have 62 amps right there), it is normal...
err, yeah sorry that's not clearer. I'll go edit the instructions now to hopefully make it clearer. Yes this is the correct process
Looking good. Once it sticks to a set voltage for a 4-6 hours then you can start discharging. Will you be using the Prolong Battery Discharger?
Found this at Battery University: Seems like this is precisely what Toyota is doing.
Once the pack is put back together running it on a Prolong charger overnight is a good way to balance the voltages of all modules in pack. OR...
A previous discussion: Inconsistent Hybrid battery readings | PriusChat
@Raytheeagle is somebody very experienced in the Prolong system.
I've reconditioned two hybrid batteries successfully with Prolong and individual module chargers. I keep modules only that have similar capacity,...
That ain't my discharger, only used the image as illustration for my Bulb discharger. Charger owner is at Prolong Discharger problem | PriusChat...
Thus far the focus is on fast service turnaround (24 hours),a report on the refreshed capacity of every NiMH module in your HEV battery with a %...
The top end balancing is key to the process;). If you don't get them stable at the top balancing, bad things happen when you drop voltage...
