    Solar to charge 2013 Prius Plugin

    Thanks everyone. My plan was to get enough charge to run the 110vac charger to then charge the battery. The battery itself is like 300v so dont really want to connect to that directly. Thanks for the advice about the 50% as advertised if I factor that in plus the loss to convert it to 110vac and...

    Solar to charge 2013 Prius Plugin

    Hi, I just bought a Prius plug in with a 4.4kw battery that gets me to work perfectly in one charge. The charger takes 1kw to charge the batt charging takes about 3 hours (I guess it isnt a perfect 1kw in my mind after all must be a bit more...) but I don't think it takes much more since it can...

    A2b battery dead how to reverse charge?

    Thanks! So last night I tested on a few batteries that are similar to AA and got the right voltage (1.4). I do see how the voltage increases (at the end it almost got up to 2 or something) but it seems like a couple pads in the middle are dead. I tried to open insulation and test the wires...

    A2B metro low speed stuttering

    Ok rode it today and it works again! I noticed oddly I had a really right (as in slightest touch it would brake) front brake. I think the cable must have been tense and it must have somehow been triggering the brake sensor somehow that or It did rain a lot the night before it and wonder if it...

    A2B metro low speed stuttering

    Yes definitely. So checking the connections is one thing I can handle with my level of experience. I have a good mulitmeter anyway you can suggest how to test/verify the burned output mosfets and or the Hall sensor? Will I need to open the hub to get to those? I am not sure how to find the year...

    A2B metro low speed stuttering

    Thanks so what ill do us thougherly check connections. The mosfets is that a new controller? So if connections fail I suspose next route is cracking open hub and replacing controller no? The hall sensor is that the controller too? Thanks!

    A2b battery dead how to reverse charge?

    Ok other dumb question. If I were to give up now would it be possible for me to put another battery pack on it for $2-400? Any tips on connecting to the bikes input port?
