Separate names with a comma.
Careful, the MGs are part of the Transmission in a Prius and the few failures that have occurred were shorted turns in the MGs. There are many...
My CT dealer installed a rebuilt HV battery in my 2004 Prius about 3 years ago as discussed above. JeffD .
It deserves an answer. The "weaker" cell doesn't discharge faster, it starts at a lower SOC. Balancing builds up the SOC of the weaker cell(s)...
Another thing I tell my students - "People say that you learn from your mistakes. I prefer to learn from the mistakes of others. Less pain; more...
Yes, but only at a very low charging current to avoid over heating the weaker cell If the weak cell has a faster self discharge rate, the module...
I always turn off the ac compressor and turn up the fan speed a couple of minutes before reaching my destination. This drys off the evaporator...
I tell my students that "Engineers have an advantage over the rest of the population. We know how things work and they don't". JeffD
Balancing is at the cell level. It is important that all 6 cells in a module be at the same State of Charge (SOC) to both maximize module...

Static shock is an artifact of the use of LRR tires. Normal tires use carbon black in the rubber compound which makes the tires slightly...

It did include the materials and don't minimize the care taken to properly install the trim. JeffD
You only need about 18 KW (at 300 watt-hours/mile) to keep up with energy usage at 60 MPH. That's about (18,000/746 watts/HP)/(0.85 efficiency)...
An "Interference Engine" is one where the valves will hit the pistons if the timing belt/chain breaks (A broken belt = New Engine!) . Our Prii...
Techstream reads module pairs in series (14 pairs). That is all the ECU knows about. It is enough to know (pair voltage and series resistance)...
My CT Dealer charges $100. JeffD
They compare the 2016 Prius 2 (Mid-size) to a Corolla (compact with few comparable features)! I would not even consider a Corola, But recently...
Actually there have been MG coil failures on a small number of Prii requiring replacement of the HSD (both MGs are part of the HSD). That is why...
The NanoEnergy tires on my 2016 seem fine for good weather driving, but the tread is too smooth for ICE/Snow. I'll pick up a set of Nokian Wrg3...
