Often (not always), a 'bad' cell ends up being a 'very low capacity' cell. Sometimes it is a 'dead short', in which case the whole block would be...
Set the screen to record on your phone, with torque pro, then record the cell voltages during acceleration. They will all drop voltage under load,...
No - it says 'for LiP' - so it is for Lithium-Ion (Lithium Phosphate) batteries; Prius has totally different batteries. Is your Prius the one with...
That is what I was thinking; basically, many people don't warm up their car before driving; the Prius protects the engine by using the battery,...
Has the engine been run since the allen key dropped down? The reason I ask, is because I found this picture of the timing chain cover removed (on...
I do also - although I started with NiMH cell phones (Nokia 3210, prior to that a Sagem just after 'digital mobile', that we now know as 2G, came...
Coming back to this thread; I see my reply doesn't make complete sense. I was reading another thread where a member put a hydroxide (sodium or...
Back in the days of NiMH phones, I remember the advice to drain it to empty, and fully recharge it, every so often, to bring capacity back; the...
You have probably already found this, but, the master warning light / red triangle of death comes on when the car is in drive and the driver's...
P.S. I don't know the details, but the module with the dead cell (where it went to purple then fully charged again) shows that the dead cell is...
They are great cars, and secondhand transaxles are dirt cheap, simply because they fail rarely - there is an excess of 'good' engines and...
Actually, I see you fixed it! Did you manage to use the old battery ECU, or just use a new one? As it looks pretty well corroded!
As a note, instantaneous voltage swings can be related to HV ECU problems. My my one burnt through the connector, it would swing from +14 to -14...
I'm sure it is already mentioned, but do check the engine oil regularly; these cars do (or most of them do) use oil - cleanly burnt - to enable...
It would be awesome if, when you get a chance, to get a pic of the cells and upload it here. Admittedly it requires a lot of dismantling to get to...
I've carried full-height fridge freezers, replacement VW engines (not for *my* cars!) and many other things - these cars are awesome for shifting...
I just re-read your post... The bus-bars with corrosion associated with the corroded connector / pins... Will you refurbish them? If not, I would...
I would be very happy to open up the ECU! I will send a PM (I actually am going to look at an ECU or two that strawbrad has - I have been so busy...
Please post pictures of the voltage connector corrosion on the connector, ecu pins, and the state of the ecu itself when you open it up...
I wouldn't actually do it, but, I imagine something like a Leaf motor connected to a diff for the rear wheels. It would need another battery, a...
