Newpriusbatteries dit com: anyone have any experience?

Check his threads, I think some have chimed in. But they haven’t been around long enough for user long term testing

 

They work great for me <cough> <cough>

We've had tons of feedback. We've been selling to everyone for over a year now, and to some beta testers for a couple years now. The development kits years more again.

We've had taxis put on tons of miles in short periods as well. There is a Youtube video someone made about the box/install and there are reviews here on PriusChat as well as on our own site. All are completely independent. We now keep literal tons in stock the best we can and generally ship out same day or next day when you order.

 

Burned up battery ECU's are not unheard of. I see something like 5% of the batteries have corrosion on the ECU plug. The corrosion is more likely to happen in a humid climate. To see more check out this thread.

The battery fires at ECU sense connector thread | PriusChat

All of your battery modules could still be usable. A brand new wire harness costs about $60. Used battery ECU's can be found for under $100.

You could try Hybrid Battery Exchange, Hybrid Battery Exchange . He is in Oregon.

One final safety FYI. That burnt up orange plug you held without a glove still has over 150 volts present even with the safety plug removed.

 

You disconnected the protection circuit ground without pulling the plastic connector out of the ecu. Always pull the connector first.

 

Newbie here...Just bought a NiMH kit and I'm impressed. Real nice product. Question...This stopped me dead in my tracks. What are the corresponding voltages, assuming all bus bars installed, at all the ring terminal locations, ie V1 V2 V3 etc etc etc? I'm building a battery for a customer and don't want to blow up a ECU. Nice looking batt pack, can't deny that.

 

At the negative terminal (far far away from ECU) to the terminal on the back is 14.4v nominal. Every module is 14.4v. So measuring between the end negative terminal and the next module over on the same side, you're measuring 2 modules in series. Therefore 28.8v. Make sense?

 

Satisfied customer here on an 08 Prius. No problems after almost 10K miles, and the cylinder batteries actually cool faster than OEM.

 

Changed ours last year and can report absolutely zero problems. Going on 10k with the newpriusbattery and still working as new. It even increased mileage by a few.. Now on a good day we get up to 60mpg regularly. Hint: move the three temp sensors to the top side of the pack! While you have it out...All Good.

 

I just found online brand new replacement batteries for Prius, $1,600.00.
I do not have experience with it since I decided not to buy. I have just installed one I reconditioned myself, and working on the original unit which will become a backup standby unit. I think I'm getting the hang of it, and it's super low-cost! Just posting here so you all know there is a low-cost unused new battery option out there with warranty at NEWPRIUSBATTERIES.COM

 

Owned mine for a few weeks works perfectly. So nice to see it just sit in 4 bars and never move sitting At a long light.
Got its power back.

 

I recommend them too...

 

Show me where please?

 

Back a year later to report absolutely zero problems since the newpriusbatteries pack was installed. Add another 10K to the mileage since install. The only thing I noticed is every once in a while the SOC on the scangauge jumps to 100% then comes right back to normal, probably from vibration and a possible lose sense wire, so next time I'm working on the prius I will take a look and maybe tighten the screws on the sense wires, maybe all the wires! The HV fan never comes on high, although we went through all that last time and it was determined there was really nothing wrong with the Battery blower motor or associated circuitry. Just clean it once in a while since it supposedly runs very slowly most of the time and can easily suck in dust and back seat hair!

 

Mine is about 7 months old works flawlessly. Lives at 4-5 blue bars which is right where I want it.

 

My battery is getting low too, how is everyone's experience now with this now that it's been 2 years or so?
