This div does not appear withing the page but is used to define the references used below.
If multiple ref tags were to appear within the table only the text from the first would be displayed.
Thus we pre-define them here, the only side effect being that the first "a" backlink does nothing.
<ref name=ev_range>
EV range [mi] or All Electric Range (AER) Assuming <35 mph, 210 Wh/mile (260 Wh/mi from grid) per http://www.greencarcongress.com/2005/08/solarpoweraugme.html, 1.5 miles is approximately the range with a fully charged stock battery pack</ref>
<ref name=phev_range>
PHEV range [mi] or Blended mode Range (BMR) During which the mileage is on the order of 100 mpg. Shows range as stated by organization.</ref>
<ref name=safety>
Safety Safety in case of major accident
- Many Lithium cells will burst in flames if penetrated. However, phosphate cathode LiIon cells (such as Valence and A123) are flame-proof.
- SLA batteries contain lead and sulphuric acid but are spill-proof</ref>
<ref name=charge_time>
Charge time [hours] From discharged to the point the pack will no longer be used in PHEV, to fully charged.
- (per Orbital, SLA require 8 hr taper -- done at least once every 3 days -- after near full charge, to reach 100% and prevent sulfation)</ref>
<ref name=energy>
Available energy [KWh] Because the DOD of the stock pack is limited by the Prius, only about 0.3 KWh of its energy is available (used). It is assumed that additional batteries are limited to a DOD range of:
- SLA: 0% down to 50%, due to Wikipedia:Peukert's law much of the nameplate capacity is unavailable.
- Lithium: 0% down to 90%, has far less Peukert losses and can be safely deep discharged.</ref>
<ref name=hymotion_range>
Hymotion Range Hymotion states 50 km (30 miles) pure EV range. Yet 4.3 KWh calculates out to 15 miles.</ref>
<ref name=spare_tire>
Spare Tire access
- No the original tire well is covered or occupied by the new battery pack and must be secured and stowed in the rear cargo space.
- Yes the original tire well is accessible.
- Opt Optionally the battery box may be implemented in such a way to preserve access.</ref>
<ref name=pfc_regs>
PiPrius notes:
- The PiPrius PFC40h charger doubles at the DC-DC converter between the OEM and added battery packs.
- BMS consists of a Rudman Reg Mark 3 on every battery, which fully protected each battery on charge mode and discharge mode.
- The BMS is programmable with a laptop, with no security locks (open source).</ref>
<ref name=convert_service>
Conversion service: done by the PHEV conversion company, at their location.
Conversion kit: done by the owners in their hometown.</ref>
<ref name=status>
Project Status:
- Doc: Open Source Documentation in progress.
- Dev: Development: Working vehicles on the road but some features still under development.
- Prod: Production: Working vehicles on the road, performing conversions or supplying kits.</ref>
<ref name=install_time>
Install time [hours] Times are estimates and best guess only. Assumes 8 hour shift per individual. Times of less than 24 hours might be performed in a single day by a crew of 3 or less.</ref>
<ref name=topology_type>
Topology Type:
- New New Battery Pack and BMS, the OEM NiMH battery and BMS are replaced with a simple string.
- Hyb OEM NiMH battery and additional battery are both utilized in a hybrid battery pack configuration, OEM BMS continues to manage OEM battery.
- Con Contactors are used to parallel the OEM and NiMH batteries.
- DC A DC to DC converter is used to move power forward from the PHEV to the OEM Battery.
- CV The CAN-View is used to manage the PHEV systems operation.</ref>
