Just keep in mind that heat sinking will only help control your temperature rise above ambient. When ambient is already greater than the max...
TheForce was one of the first guys on here to get a Hymotion and start reporting his statistics. It was killing us, as he was going about 3...
I may have mentioned this before, but IMHO the improvement in performance of a PHEV should really be measured as reduction in fuel consumption...
I think thats probably a good plan. Use the two chargers to get through the bulk/fast charge phase, then shut one off and let the other do its...
This is the only part of this setup I'm a little worried about. Paralleling 2 dc:dc converters is usually ok as they are pretty much just acting...
Manzanita Micro's PHEV converter does all that. They use feedback from the CAN-View to dynamically set the output voltage as I recall. Down side...
FWIW I still think it would be nice to pair this kit with a CAN-View. The CAN-View lets you view a lot more parameters, and gives you the option...
Thanks for sharing krousb, very exciting results! At this point I'll admit I have no idea why this works, but its awesome that it seems to....
Since it seems more people might be interested, here is some info I was sharing with a few folks over PM regarding solar costs: Smallish systems...
BTW, nothing crazy about buying a salvaged Prius with the intention of building a PHEV out of it ;)
This has actually been done, but I wouldn't think it is particularly well suited to a Prius. Since the Prius already has motors and a very nice...
Unfortunately there is almost no documentation of this effect, and I don't know how reproducible or well understood it was. I'll keep trying to...
What you say is certainly true and I'll freely admit I don't know these batteries that well, but bear in mind a pack is only as good as its...
Hobbit you may be right about Hymotion. From this pic: http://i399.photobucket.com/albums/pp73/HymoPrius/033L5HVwiringattached.jpg from this...
Not a bad theory Hobbit. It makes a good deal of sense, but I'm not sure it fits all the facts. The two discrepancies I can think of are: 1....
I wish I could give more details. I've followed a lot of the PHEV and EV discussion groups with great interest for a number of years. A lot of...
A related concern is that this kit essentially uses voltage to estimate the SOC of the OEM battery as well. This is implied by assuming that it...
Comments relocated from the big general thread, meant to post here was just in a hurry. Ok, here are some more thoughts/questions/concerns....
Yeah, I saw that. What I am talking about are discharge curves vs. temperature. In general the curves for the same discharge rate at different...
Comments removed to the technical discussion thread, meant to post it there :rolleyes:
