<div>[[Image:2000 Honda Insight-1c340-PHM-003-Fuse.png|thumb|600px|The DC-DC fuse is part 2 here:]]<br />
While troubleshooting some DC-DC Issues, suspected to be the fuse, dug back into Insight Hardware: Backstory:<br />
* Have been distracted by having been driving a Leaf, then another Leaf, Then a 2017 Bolt, and soon hopefully a CyberTruck.<br />
* In the meantime, my 2000 Honda Insight has been sitting idle for years now.<br />
* 2018-2019 roughly, I pulled the IMA Battery and balanced all the 7.2v modules, replacing the weak ones, resulted in good IMA with no more recal events.<br />
** No special precautions were taken for storage, and there was some moisture build up due to leaks and or the moist climate.<br />
* 2020 and 2021 every few months I would start up the ICE just to keep it happy, and during that time noticed the 12v system was not charging.<br />
* The 2000 Honda Insight is made by TDK and rated for 70Amps output side and by all accounts very efficient and robust.<br />
<br />
So, looking to get that back into service:<br />

Technical information on the [[Toyota Prius|Prius]] useful when designing a [[Prius PHEV]] conversion.<br />
<br />
==Generations==<br />
<br />
===Original generations===<br />
This is the original 4-door sedan:<br />
*1997 Japan only release, chassis NHW10 (Gen 1, referred to as Mk1 in Australia and the UK, where it has occasionally been privately imported)<br />
*2000 worldwide release, chassis NHW11 (Almost always called Gen 1 in North America, sometimes Gen 2)<br />
<br />
===Next generation===<br />
This is the 5-door hatchback, often called Gen 2, sometimes called Gen 3:<br />
*2003 release in selected countries (as model year 2004), chassis NHW20.<br />
<br />
===Present generation===<br />
This is the new 5-door hatchback, more angular body, usually called Gen 3:<br />
*2009 release as model year 2010, chassis ZVW30.<br />
[[Prius_2010_PHEV_TechInfo|Tech info]]<br />
<br />
<br />
==Traction battery==<br />
<br />
===Specs===<br />
* Mass: 83 lb (37.5 kg)<br />
* Dimensions: 33 x 15 x 7.5"<br />
* Nominal Voltage: 201.6 V<br />
* Nominal Capacity : 6.5Ah<br />
* Module weight: 1040 g<br />
* Module Form Factor: Prismatic<br />
* No of Modules: 28<br />
* Total no of Cells: 168<br />
* Module specs: http://www.peve.jp/e/hevjyusi.html<br />
<br />
===Functions===<br />
<br />
The traction battery includes a Battery ECU (Electronic Control Unit). As the Battery Management System (BMS), this unit does the following:<br />
* It calculates the battery's [[SOC]] by integrating the current ("Coulomb counting"). This value is corrected for [[State Of Charge Drift]], self-discharge when the vehicle is not running, etc, by skewing the SOC upward when the open circuit battery voltage surpasses approx. 242V, and, presumably, by skewing it downward when the open circuit voltage is below an as-yet-unmeasured value.<br />
* It reads the pack temperature using 3 thermistors, and the air intake temperature with a 4th thermistor<br />
* It controls its cooling fan (variable speed).<br />
* It calculates the battery dynamic resistance (delta voltage over delta current). This resistance increases with battery aging.<br />
* It protects the battery by limiting its current (even down to 0), if the SOC or temperature are at their limits, or the dynamic resistance is too high, or if it detects a fault.<br />
* It broadcasts to the rest of the vehicle, through the CAN bus, the following data:<br />
** Voltage<br />
** Current (positive for discharge, negative for charge)<br />
** Minimum & maximum temperature<br />
** Maximum current it's able to provide (Discharge Current Limit, or DCL)<br />
** Maximum current it's able to accept (Charge Current Limit, or CCL)<br />
** State Of Charge (SOC)<br />
** Any fault codes (DTCs)<br />
<br />

[[Image:Prius-Pack_Voltage_vs_Current.gif|thumb|right|Voltage vs State Of Charge at various discharge currents]]<br />
<br />
If you replace the stock battery, you need to know its voltage, because that's what the vehicle expects. If you add a pack to the stock battery, you need to know its voltage, in order to connect the two together, somehow.<br />
<br />
The nominal pack voltage is: 168 cells x 1.2 V = 201.6 V<br />
<br />
The pack voltage depends on SOC, temperature and current.<br />
* The voltage depends on State of Charge and on temperature. It is affected by cold, but not much by heat; so, for temperatures abiove 20 C, use the 20 C curve.<br />
* The voltage depends on State of Charge and on discharge current. The voltage is not affected by low currents; so, for current below 1.3 A, use the 1.3 A curve.<br />
* The maximum charge voltage is 1.8 V / cell.<br />

Though, [http://www.hybridinterfaces.ca/ Hybrid Interfaces] reports a range of 165 to 270V, while Toyota specifies a normal range of 150 to 300 V (in READY mode) (Ref: "\Repair Manual\04priusf\05\21bpm\cidlitac.pdf"). However, Toyota's "normal" ranges, as reported in their repair manuals, are often misleading; either they are too generous, or the conditions under which they can be expected are not clearly stated.<br />
<br />

<br />
===Battery current===<br />
<br />
The battery current ranges from > -100 to > + 100. <br />
<br />
These graphs are from data from Argonne National Labs: 600610092_Data_D3.txt.<br />
In these data, positive means into the battery (braking).<br />
<br />
During easy driving, the current is on the order of 20 A, but is more like 40 A during serious driving.<br />
<br />

[[Image:PriusBatteryCurrentHistogram.gif|thumb||right|Histogram of battery current]]<br />
<br />
===Battery heat dissipation===<br />
<br />
The battery power dissipation (assuming an internal resistance of 0.5 Ohm) peaks at 4.5 kW!<br />
<br />
During easy driving, the dissipation is on the order of 200 W, but is more like 2000 W during serious driving.<br />

<br />
===AC components in battery voltage===<br />
<br />
When the system relays are off, the battery floats with respect to the car chassis.<br />
<br />
When the system relays are engaged, there is a common AC voltage between the battery terminals and the chassis. Its frequency is 5 KHz. When the engine is charging, its amplitude is 90 Vpp and its shape is a square wave. In EV drive, its amplitude is 100 Vpp and its shape is a combination of 2 square waves, each at 5 KHz, but not synchronized, so that one drifts with respect to the other one. The differential mode voltage is 200 Vdc (or course) plus noise spikes at the edges of the common mode wave, on the order of 10 Vpp.<br />
<br />
A PHEV conversion must deal with this significant common noise.<br />
<br />
===Reconnecting traction battery===<br />
* While working on the High Voltage section, ensure that the READY light is off and then remove the orange Service Plug on left end of the battery pack<br />
* If you attempt to turn on the car while the orange Service Plug is removed, or the Battery ECU is disconnected, the Prius will generate a fault code (DTC) and light-up the /!\ ''(Red Exclamation in a Triangle)'' symbol on the dashboard, and show a car with an Exclamation point in it on the Multi-Function Display ([[MFD]]).<br />
* To end the fault display<br />
** Turn off the car (READY light OFF)<br />
** Reconnect whatever is disconnected<br />
** Turn on the car<br />
** Drive<br />
** Turn off the car<br />
* Now the DTC is still stored, but at least there is no fault display on the dashboard.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Cabling to traction battery===<br />
[[Image:Prius-harness_to_traction_battery.gif|right|Harness to the battery]]<br />
The harness to the traction battery has 3 tails, each with a connector<br />
* To Battery ECU - power, communication, fan control<br />
* To the orange Service Plug - to detect if the Service Plug is fully plugged-in<br />
* To the System Relays - to drive the relays that connect the traction battery to the inverter<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Prius-Battery_ECU-Pin-out.gif|right|thumb|Pin-out of connector on Battery ECU]]<br />
'''Battery ECU (electronic Control Unit)'''<br><br />
Pinout:<br />

<br />
'''Service Plug disconnect/connect sensor.'''<br><br />
A simple reed switch, which is integrated into the 2004-up Prius service plug, is opened during the service plug removal sequence, just BEFORE the service plug opens the battery circuit. Upon re-installation, the switch is closed (shorted) just AFTER the service plug completes the circuit. Two pins connect the reed switch to the battery ECU. The purpose of this switch is to tell the battery ECU that the service plug is being removed, so that the system main relays can be opened prior to disconnecting the battery in the event that the service plug is inadvertently being removed while the system is in READY mode. Toyota warns that the HV ECU can be damaged if the power switch is engaged with the service plug disconnected.<br />
<br />
NOTE: If the service plug in not firmly pushed down after insertion, the switch will not close, the system will not ready up, and a DTC will be set. This is a common oversight.<br />
<br />
The service plug disconnect/connect sensor is a failsafe that prevents arcing at the service plug. It is not present on the service plug used in 1997-2003 Prius vehicles, but is integrated into the receptacle for the plug.<br />
<br />
'''System Relays'''<br><br />
Four pins:<br />
* Common<br />
* System relay K1 (precharge resistor)<br />
* System relay K2 (traction pack +, bypassing precharge resistor)<br />
* System relay K3 (traction pack -)<br />
<br />
=== System Relays ===<br />
<br />
Toyota refers to this assembly as an SMR (System Main Relay). In truth, there are three separate System Main Relays, housed in the drivers' side end of the battery pack enclosure:<br />
* a precharge relay in series with a precharge resistor<br />
* 2 contactors, one on the positive circuit and one on the negative circuit.<br />
<br />
The system relays (contactors) are turned on in this sequence:<br />
<br />
[[Image:PriusContactorSequence.gif]]<br />
<br />
At power up:<br />
* The precharge relay is turned on first by itself (which results in no current, because there is no return path), and then turned off. This function checks for a stuck relay on the negative side. If that relay was stuck, current would be present. The HV ECU would then record a DTC before shutting itself down. The DTC would have to be cleared and the problem corrected before the vehicle will re-enter READY status.<br />
* After a pause, the precharge relay and the negative contactors are turned on, to precharge the electronics in the vehicle slowly, through the system resistor. <br />
* Then the positive contactor is turned on, to complete a direct path between the battery and the vehicle electronics. <br />
* Then the precharge relay is turned off.<br />
<br />
At power down:<br />
* The positive contactor is turned off, removing power to the vehicle electronics. This is the only time when arcing may occur. Arcing on its contacts will affect its lifetime.<br />
* Then the negative contactor is turned off. <br />
<br />
There is a hump in the waveforms, as the voltage goes from 10 V to 12 V. This is probably due to the DC-DC converter (from the traction battery voltage to the 12 V battery) being on.<br />
<br />
==CAN bus==<br />
If the conversion will replace the stock Battery ECU, it must talk directly with the vehicle CAN bus.<br />
<br />
* [http://www.kvaser.com/can/protocol/index.htm Kvaser] has a simple explanation of the CAN bus.<br />
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN_bus wikipedia article on the CAN bus]<br />
<br />
The battery ECU is the last device on the CAN bus, and thus has one of the 2 termination resistors. The termination resistor in the stock ECU is 120 ohm split-termination (meaning there are 2 60 ohm resistors in series, with a small capacitor from the middle of the 2 resistors to ground.) Toyota also uses a common mode choke on the CAN bus for filtering.<br />
<br />
===CAN Tools===<br />
* [[CAN-View]] - uses the vehicle's MFD (Multi Function Display). V1, V2, and V3 are only compatible with the 2004 and 2005 Prius. A new V4 will be compatible with the 2006+ Prius and perhaps other hybrid models.<br />
<br />
* A generic adapter between the CAN-bus and a PC. It is convenient to use a USB port, though the serial or parallel or Ethernet port may be used as well. Examples of USB adapters:<br />
** [http://www.peak-system.com/db/gb/pcanusb_gb.html Peak's PCAN-USB] also sold as the [http://www.c-a-n.com/canusb.html?source=goog&kw=can+usb&gclid=CJLw2ZGH-IUCFQmMCwodIHRbtw GridConnect's GC-CAN-USB]<br />
*** Note: disconnecting this product's USB cable seems to create significant problems for Windows XP (immediate shut-down, or even the "blue screen of death"). You must use the system tray's "Remove hardware" icon first.<br />
*** The PCAN-View software comes free with this product. In theory, it can filter a range of message IDs. In reality, that doesn't work so well if you're filtering more than one ID. However, you can run multiple instances of PCAN-View, each using a different filter, one for each message that interests you.<br />
*** They charge extra for a logger. You can use a free logger instead:<br />
**** [http://www.vassfamily.net/ToyotaPrius/CAN/cindex.html Attila Vass' My CAN Project]<br />
**** [http://hybrids-plus.com/pmwiki/index.php?n=Ext.Downloads Hybrids Plus' CANUSB logger]<br />
** [http://www.grifo.com/VARIE/Candip/uk_canUSB.htm Grifo's CANUSB]<br />
** [http://www.systec-electronic.com/html/index.pl/en_product_usb_canmodul Systec's USB-CANmodul]<br />
** [http://www.can232.com/ CAN232] is a CAN to RS232 device used by [http://www.vassfamily.net/ToyotaPrius/CAN/cindex.html Attila Vass] with his early [[Prius PHEV User Interfaces#My CAN Project|My CAN Project]].<br />
*** Communications with CAN232 via a terminal application:<br />
**** send "V" command. You'll see "V1220" version info received.<br />
**** send "N" command. You'll see "NB743" serial number.<br />
**** send "X1" command to enable AutoPoll function.<br />
**** send "S6" command to set 500 kbps CAN speed.<br />
**** send "O" command to open the CAN port. You'll see a lot of CAN messages.<br />
** The '''CAN-View''' should not be confused with this [http://www.rmcan.com/index.php?id=61&L=1 CANview] product (notice no dash in the name), which is a CAN to RS232 device.<br />
* These adapters have a DE-9 DSUB connector, so you'll also need an adapter to the Prius' OBD connector. For example:<br />
** [http://www.c-a-n.com/gc-can-cab-odb2.html GridConnect's CAN to OBD2 Cable]<br />
* The Prius' OBD (On Board Diagnostics) connector is located under the dashboard, below and to the right of the steering wheel, facing down. A.k.a.: Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3)<br />
*Alternatively, tap into the CAN bus directly. Use a short cable to the CAN adapter.<br />
** CANH - black wire<br />
** CANL - white wire<br />
** GND - chassis<br />
<br />
===CAN bus protocol===<br />
<br />
* The CAN bus is active only when the vehicle is in READY mode, and for a few seconds after the end of the READY mode.<br />
* baud rate: 500 kbits/s (if you use the wrong rate, the vehicle will complain and store a DTC fault until the DTC codes are cleared)<br />
* Standard: CAN 2.0A ("standard CAN", 11-bit identifier)<br />
* Remote frames: not used <br />
** this means all the data are volunteered and none are requested; that is, that every component on the vehicle broadcasts its data periodically; no component puts out requests for data<br />
<br />
===All CAN messages===<br />
<br />
[http://www.vassfamily.net/ Attila Vass] prepared a list of all [http://www.vassfamily.net/ToyotaPrius/CAN/PriusCodes.xls CAN codes] (xls). <br />
<br />
===Battery ECU messages===<br />
The Battery ECU (Electronic Control Unit) broadcasts messages to the rest of the vehicle through the CAN bus.<br />
<br />
It appears that broadcasting those messages is all the Battery ECU is expected to do. It appears that this ECU only needs to talk, and doesn't need to listen. That is, it doesn't appear that it is expected to do anything about any messages that are placed on the bus by other devices. <br />
<br />
The battery ECU is able to protect itself by stating the maximum current it may accept or may provide. It may also protect itself by generating a Fault Code (DTC). In either case, the battery module is at the mercy of the rest of the vehicle to respect those requests and not draw or source too much current.<br />
Thanks to Jim Fell for coming up with the checksum algorithm first.<br />
<br />
The following data were seen in a 2006 Prius.<br />
<br />

=== Altering the SOC (SOC spoofing) ===<br />
<br />
The OEM battery broadcasts a message on the CAN bus approximately every 100ms which includes the [[SOC]]. It has been discovered that the Prius's HV ECU listens to the last message received. Simply rebroadcasting that message immediately after it was originally sent with an altered value for the SOC (and altered checksum), causes the car to believe that the SOC is the altered value without intercepting the original message. This allows a conversion to spoof the SOC in a low cost and simple method which does not require altering the OEM battery's ECU or taps. The agent doing the rebroadcasting can be a computer with a device such as CANUSB or a small embedded system with a CAN interface.<br />
<br />
Any system which uses SOC spoofing must be careful not to over discharge or overcharge the OEM battery. <br />
<br />
=== CCL and CDL ===<br />
<br />
The battery reports Charge and Discharge Current Limits depending on the SOC and the temperature.<br />
Based on very rough data, these graphs show their relationship.<br />
* Note that the Discharge limit remains high even if the SOC is very low.<br />
* The data were taken at a SOC range from 27 to 78 %, and a temperature range from 42 to 56 °C<br />
* The data were taken just at the upper end of the temperatures. We still need data for the colder temperatures.<br />

===OBD-II Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)===<br />
<br />
The Battery ECU detects and reports many fault conditions.<br />
*The Battery ECU places a Fault Code (DTC) in its message with an ID of 3CDh<br />
*The Engine ECU receives such DTCs (from the Battery ECU and from other devices as well)<br />
*The Engine ECU lights the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) (a.k.a. "Check Engine Lamp") on the dashboard. (In some cases it does so immediately, in some cases after it receives the same DTC twice.)<br />
<br />
Fault codes begin with one of four letters, depending of the 2 Most Significant bits (MSb) of the hex code:<br />
<br />
*Ltr MSBs<br />
*P 00 Powertrain: Most faults start with this letter<br />
*C 01 Chassis: steering, brakes, other chassis systems. Faults in the transmission control ECU or electric power steering system<br />
*B 10 Body: Smart entry and Immobilizer malfunction. The only DTCs are B1294 and B2799<br />
*U 11 Network: Faults in the CAN network as well as any other networks (The Hybrid Control System cannot communicate with other components on the CAN bus0<br />
<br />
All OBD-II diagnostic codes have five digits. <br />
<br />
The first digit in an OBD-II DTC is always a letter, narrowing the fault to one of four different sections of the on-board diagnostic system: a P for powertrain, B for body, C for chassis, or U for network. At present, no other letters are used.<br />
<br />
The second digit will be a number; SAE-defined codes, known as generic codes, are identified by a 0 (as above), 2, or 3. Manufacturer-specific codes, which are not defined by SAE, must use a 1 for the second digit. They can mean anything within the system defined by the first digit of the DTC.<br />
<br />
When a Prius sets a DTC, it also sets a proprietary three-digit diagnostic code that sometimes gives a bit more information. This is typically accessed with a factory scanner.<br />
<br />
Common DTC codes that may be set during a conversion:<br />

Notes:<br />
# Behavior: lets the vehicle go into the READY mode and drive normally<br />
# Behavior: lets the vehicle go into the READY mode but limits driving to fail-safe mode<br />
# Behavior: if the engine happened to be on at the time, the vehicle remains in the READY mode and continues driving with just the engine; if the engine happened to be off at the time, without a battery it can't be started, so the vehicle turns off the READY mode and stops<br />
# There are 14 blocks in the battery pack (1 through 14); the last 2 digits of the code are the equal to the number of the bad block plus 10; so, if block 1 is bad, the code is P3011, if block 12 is bad, the code is P3022<br />

====PID maps====<br />
The entire range of 256 possible PIDs is divided in 8 blocks of 20h PIDs. The data in the first PID of each block is a bitmap of the PIDs implemented in that block. Convert the data to binary, convert each '1' to its weight, add 1 and add the base address of that block. That will give you the corresponding PID. The last bit of the last data byte is set, which converts to +20h, to point to the next data block (except for the very last block). <br />
<br />
For example, for block 40h (02 21 40 xx xx xx xx xx) :<br />
* The response is 06 61 40 C0 0C 00 01 00, and therefore the data bytes are C0 0C 00 01<br />
We convert C0 0C 00 01 to binary: 1100 0000 0000 1100 0000 0000 0000 0001<br />
<br />
high nibble 0000 0000 0000 0000 1111 1111 1111 1111<br />
low nibble 0123 4567 89AB CDEF 0123 4567 89AB CDEF<br />
C00C0001 = 1100 0000 0000 1100 0000 0000 0000 0001<br />
<br />
Now we get the weight of each '1':<br />
<br />
<br />

1100 0000 0000 1100 0000 0000 0000 0001 -> 00, 01, 0C, 0D, 1F<br />
<br />
Now we convert those to PIDs:<br />
<br />
00 + 1 + 40 = 41; <br />
01 + 1 + 40 = 42; <br />
0C + 1 + 40 = 4D; <br />
0D + 1 + 40 = 4E; <br />
1F + 1 + 40 = 60; <br />
<br />
So, the PIDs in this block are: 41h, 42h, 4Dh and 4Eh. The next PID map is at 60h<br />
<br />
====ScanGauge set-up====<br />
<br />
This table shows how to set-up a [http://www.scangauge.com/ ScanGauge 2] with XGAUGE to report certain parameters of the stock battery using PIDs. A PHEV should at the very least implement these PIDs.<br />

<br />
==Causes for errors==<br />
The Prius doesn't like the following:<br />
* Actual battery voltage at 175 V or less (regardless of what you tell it the voltage is). Or, telling the car that the battery voltage is much higher than it really is (say, the battery is 170 V, but you tell it it's 200 V)<br />
** A fault is generated, car dies<br />
** Clear the faults, tell it the right voltage, and all will be fine<br />
* Telling the car that the battery is at 80 % SOC or more<br />
** Engine runs all the time, drawing current from the battery (about 9 A) to discharge it<br />
* Resistance from HV- or HV+ to chassis ground less than around 10M<br />
<br />
==MFD (Multi Function Display)==<br />
<br />
===State Of Charge display===<br />
In the Energy screen, the state of charge of the battery is shown with 8 bars. The following graph shows the relationship between the SOC reported by the battery ECU and the number of bars shown. There is a hysteresis of 2.5 % (usually), and filtering with a time constant of about 15 seconds (created inside the HEV ECU - the HEV ECU reacts immediately to changes in SOC, and the display reacts immediately to changes in CAN message 529h).<br />
:[[Image:StateOfChargeBars.gif]]<br />
::''More SOC images available at [[Toyota Prius Battery Specs]].''<br />
<br />
===Overriding the instrument cluster===<br />
There is a way of affecting the display of a few items in the Prius MFD through the CAN Bus, the SOC in particular.<br />
<br />
The Hybrid ECU broadcasts a message with some of the information that the instrument cluster (including the MFD) uses to display SOC and alarms.<br />
<br />
The message ID is 529h, it has 7 data bytes, and it repeats at most every 1 s (if there's a change in data, it is sent right away, and then every 1 s thereafter). To be exact, it's slightly less that 1 s: it's 999.5 ms.<br />
<br />
The typical message is: 28 00 00 84 00 00 00<br />

To override the display, you need to put on the CAN bus that message, in such way the instrument cluster sees your message instead of the original one from the Hybrid ECU. If not done right, the MFD will flicker rapidly between the display that the Prius wants to show, and the one you want to show.<br />
<br />
==12 V system==<br />
<br />
===Current draw from 12 V battery===<br />
When the 12 V battery is first connected, the car draws 1.5 A from it for about 30 seconds, then 0.62 A. That amount is enough to discharge the small 12 V battery in a matter of days.<br />
<br />
===Charging the 12 V battery===<br />
To charge a dead 12 V battery, without disconnecting it from the car, you can't use a trickle charger that provides just a few hundred milliamps. If you do, the car electronics will turn on, attempt to draw 1.5 A, swamping the trickle charger, and no current will get to the battery. Instead, you need a charger capable of more than 1.5 A (say, 2 A minimum), to handle the initial draw from the car electronics, and still have something left to charge the battery.<br />
<br />
Alternatively, you can charge the 12 V battery by disconnecting it from the car.<br />
<br />
===Resetting after reconnecting the 12 V battery===<br />
After reconnecting the 12 V battery, you must calibrate the "Auto" function of the driver's window. If you don't do this, you can't open or close the window all the way with the Auto switch. <br />
* Open window half-way<br />
* Pull and hold window switch up until window is all the way up, and hold an additional 1 second or more<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Limit to continuous EV operation==<br />
The Prius relies on the engine running for distribution of lubricant oil on the gears of the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). As its stock EV-only operation is limited to at most a couple of miles, after which the engine must run, it ensures that lubrication happens on a regular basis. Which leads to concerns that in a plug-in converted Prius, the larger battery allows longer EV-only operation, without lubrication. Implying that therefore, a plug-in conversion must ensure that it causes the Prius to restart the engine every few miles, then return to EV operation.<br />
<br />
However upon further examination it should be noted that in EV-only mode all motive torque is provided by MG2 and thus not transmitted through the CVT or ''PSD (Power Split Device)'' which might more accurately be referred to as a [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Prius_Technical_Stuff/message/15705 TSD (Torque Split Device)]. There was a related thread implying that lubrication, while not actively circulated without the ICE running, is still present yet not as critical during EV-only mode. A number of converted PHEV Prius are operating in EV-only mode for extended distances of 10 to 30 or more miles without any adverse effects to the CVT, but we will be sure to update this section should that change in the future.<br />

<br />
==Hybrid-Pack Method==<br />
See [[Prius PHEV#Hybrid-Pack Method]] for an overview of both of the following methods which utilize a [[CAN-View]] for SOC aware operations.<br />
<br />
===Contactor Based===<br />
Ron is refining a simple and inexpensive 22 battery configuration utilizing contactor and resistor, the same EVP20-12B B&B 20Ah 12v SLA [[SEVA:PbA|PbA]] batteries from [http://www.electricrider.com/batteries.htm ElectricRider.com] will be used.<br />
<br />
===PFC Based===<br />
[[Image:100_1332.JPG|thumb|right|Battery Layout for [[PiPrius]]]]<br />
[[User:Rjf|Ryan]] and Rich Rudman are developing conversion kits based on an enhanced PFC-30 from [http://www.manzanitamicro.com/ manzanitamicro]. The PFC enable the flexibility of battery pack sizes from about 10 to 30 batteries, among other battery management and charge rate enhancements. The first battery rack will be configured for 15 Hawker EP 26 or Hawker Areo AB26 SLA batteries. Since the PFC charger is used as a DC to DC converter it is possible to use a wide variety of battery packs configurations. Rich has also used a 20 and 24 battery pack of smaller 20Ah batteries similar to the EVP20-12B used by CalCars, and more recently Rich has also implemented a battery pack made up of 40Ah Thunder Sky Lithium ion modules. It is best if the add on battery pack is of a higher voltage than the OEM battery to reduce switching losses and increase the efficiency and power out of the PFC charger.<br />

This page addresses user interface and [[State Of Charge Manipulation]] management device options for [[Prius PHEV]] conversions. Such a device would need to be capable of executing logic similar to this [[Prius PHEV Pseudo Code]]. Though an actuall ''Interface'' or display may not be required so long as the SOC manipulation is handled properly, such an interface is still desireable because it provides the user with feedback and might also allow for user interaction and configuration. Conversly a management device may not be required to perform SOC Manipulation functions with certain conversion methods though the data they provide about the vehicles opperation may still be valuable.<br />

<br />
==Hybrid-Pack Method==<br />
There is no longer a need for the [[Battery Tap Emulator]] when using a hybrid battery pack configuration.<br />
The HV interface with the original OEM battery is made after the HAL (current) sensor.<br />
If the OEM BMS does not measure enough current leaving the OEM battery it will shut down the OEM HV systems within about 1 mile or a few minutes.<br />
The OEM BMS does not however appear to mind to much current leaving the OEM battery,<br />
thus it may be possible to draw large amounts of power out of the OEM battery through the HAL sensor for a sort of "Genset Mode" of operation.<br />
These HV taps between the OEM and add on PHEV Battery Pack are common between the Contactor and PFC based conversions.<br />

====Enhanced Regen Ideas====<br />
Regen may need to transfer power through the OEM HAL sensor in order to:<br />
* Avoid Negative [[State Of Charge Drift]] which may not work like +Drift.<br />
* Allow current to be counted instantaneously and thus recover from or avoid [[State Of Charge Manipulation#Charge Limit Conundrum|CCL]].<br />
* Allow for the use of the Prius as a DC Genset if PFC sources NiMH pack.<br />
<br />
Potential Enhanced Regen methods<br />
* Use the PFC as is, switch Input/Output and change voltage setpoint.<br />
** Modify the PFC so it can move 2x amps in DC modes only.<br />
** Use a PFC power stage.. so we can stuff 150 amps in any direction.<br />
* Use a Honking Big diode and a properly sized PbA Pack.<br />
* Use a contactor and a diode and a properly sized PbA Pack.<br />
<br />
====Single Regulator Hack====<br />
At least one analog MK2 (modified for under voltage regulation), or a digital [[Mk 3 Reg]] is required to prevent the PFC charger from over-discharging the PHEV battery pack. Ideally a full set of regulators would be installed such that they would perform both over and under voltage protection as well as power regulations for every battery in the pack. If digital MK3 Regs are used they may also be able to report PHEV battery pack statuses back to the CAN-View interface or an external data logging device. If you only have one regulator then it should be installed on the weakest battery in your pack, and should only be connected to that battery during PHEV operation. Below is part of a wacky circuit to enable the easy switching of a single reg between multiple batteries within a pack.<br />

<br />
A battery from the pack is selected by grounding the desired "switch". This could be done with a rotary switch or perhaps some sort of more advanced digital timer or push to select circuit. It could even be done with individual toggle or dip switches as it should be safe to have multiple batteries selected as only the first enabled unit will be forwarded as it disables the remaining units. This may make it easier to scan the battery pack by hand to log voltages or find the weakest battery and then leave the circuit pointed to that one during operation. The regulators may draw substantial current from an over voltage battery while actively regulating, so be sure that the wire and relays are of a high enough gauge, or disable the regulation function. <br />

<br />
The '''CAN-View''' v1, v2, and v3 are [[MFD]] Integrated [[CAN]] Scanner for the 2nd Generation (2004-2005) [[Toyota Prius|Prius]].<br />
A new more powerful version 4 is now available which uses an external touch screen<ref>[http://www.mini-box.com/s.nl/it.A/id.401/.f?sc=8&category=101 VM7000 7" touchscreen] at mini-box.com for use with the v4 CAN-View.</ref> so that it can be used in the 2006+ and other CAN enabled Hybrids.<br />
It is hoped that the new version will eventually work in vehicles such as the [[Toyota Camry Hybrid|Camry]], [[Toyota Highlander Hybrid|Highlander]], [[Lexus RX 400h|RX 400h]], [[Lexus GS 450h|GS 450h]], and [[Ford Escape Hybrid]]!<br />
The CAN-View is used as the [[Prius PHEV User Interfaces]] in both the [[PriusPlus]] and [[PiPrius]] projects.<br />

*# In short, set the CAN-View Data source to "RAW" and enable serial output to start sending the CAN data.<br />
*# Launch realterm and choose the correct COM port, set the display to "hex(space)" ''display=2 in the next example'' <br />

<br />
==The Mode Button==<br />
Since early on there has been a "mode button", ''the one with the green border'', for which if connected to the OEM EV-Mode button pin would enable/disable that mode when pressed. It also displayed the mode that the car was in, recently a number of new modes have been added to the software, the possible modes are:<br />
* <font color=red>'''ICE run'''</font> - ''the engine is running and consuming fuel''<br />
* <font color=aqua>'''Stealth'''</font> - ''the engine is not running and any motion is being produced by the battery alone.''<br />
* <font color=green>'''EV mode'''</font> - ''you are in EV mode, a higher level stealth mode.''<br />
** <font color=red>'''EV try'''</font> - ''you have pressed the vehicle EV button (or have the relay board option and have pressed this icon directly)''<br />
** <font color=red>'''EV deny'''</font> - ''means the Prius has rejected your request for EV mode, based on vehicle speed, SOC, too low or too high a temperature.''<br />
* <font color=blue>'''ICE spin'''</font> - ''similar to Stealth but occurs above ~42mph''<br />
* <font color=red>'''WOTmode'''</font> - ''Wide Open Throttle mode''<br />
* <font color=orange>'''B-brake'''</font> - ''ICE Compression Braking mode, like selecting "B" on the shifter''<br />
<br />
==Additional accessories==<br />
These additional features are supported by the 2nd & 3rd version of the CAN-View, some require additional hardware.<br />

<br />
Since the unprecedented success of the [[PHEV]] conversion of Ryan Fulcher’s [[PriusBlue]] at the [[Inaugural Maker Faire]] last year, with much help from [http://www.calcars.org CalCars]<ref>http://www.calcars.org - California Cars Initiative</ref> and the [http://www.sfeva.org San Francisco EAA]<ref>http://www.sfeva.org - San Francisco Electric Auto Association</ref>. Ryan, a member of the [http://www.seattleeva.org Seattle EVA]<ref>http://www.seattleeva.org - Seattle Electric Vehicle Association</ref> and a contributor to the [http://www.eaa-phev.org EAA-PHEV web site]<ref>http://www.eaa-phev.org - Electric Auto Association - PHEV Project</ref>, has been furthering the cause for PHEVs throughout the Pacific N.W. Through these public relations efforts, Ron Johnson-Rodreguez, head of Economic Development for Eastern Washington State’s Chelan County, contacted Steven Lough, president of the Seattle EV Association, and a fruitful working relationship has developed over the last 6 months. After several trips back and forth between Seattle and Wenatchee Washington, plans were set in motion to convert several county [[Toyota Prius]] vehicles to PHEV.<br />
<br />
Using [[CAN-View]] technology from [http://www.hybridinterfaces.ca Hybrid Interfaces]<ref>http://www.hybridinterfaces.ca - Hybrid Interfaces CAN-View</ref> of Canada, and the very versatile AC-to-DC & DC-to-DC capable charger from [http://www.manzanitamicro.com Rich Rudman's Manzanita Micro]<ref>http://www.manzanitamicro.com - Rich Rudman's Manzanita Micro</ref> company, and much volunteer help from Seattle EV Association members, Chelan County’s [[Advanced Vehicle Innovations Consortium]]<ref>http://www.plugincenter.com - Chelan County’s Advanced Vehicle Innovations Consortium</ref>, and the Automotive Technology program at Wenatchee Valley College, the first project was put on the road in PHEV mode on October 15th, 2006.<br />
<br />
Both the [[PiPrius]] vehicles [[PriusBlue]] of Ryan Fulcher, and the just-completed Chelan County car, named “CCPort [[WhiteBird]]” utilize a [[MM-PFC|PFC40H]] charger which doubles as a DC-to-DC converter. In DC-DC or run mode the PFC40 is connected between the add-on pack and the Prius OEM pack, thereby maintaining the Prius battery voltage during extended periods of low-speed exclusive (EV-Only) or higher speed enhanced ([[Mixed-mode]]) driving. In the system's final configuration, both DC-to-DC “boosting” of the Prius pack, as well as grid charging of the add-on pack are switched automatically. As the CAN-View reads data from the Toyota computer systems, it acts as both user interface and management device to orchestrate various aspects of the PHEV mode's automatic operation.<br />
<br />
The Battery Management System (BMS) consist of a Mark 3 Rudman Reg for each of the 15 Genesis lead-acid batteries, which fully protect each battery from over- and under-voltage events. The regs help to direct the charger's actions and are interactive and programmable via a standard serial port (RS232) found on most laptops.<br />
<br />
[[Image:WhiteBird Car.jpg|thumb|right|CCPUD WhiteBird<br>PHEV Prius]]<br />
<br />
Chelan County’s Advanced Vehicle Initiative plans to use WhiteBird for display at events, conferences and festivals in addition to driving to and from meetings in Washington and other county business. In the future, they plan to create a fleet of plug-in hybrid vehicles for lease to potentially use for event shuttles, area tours, rafting shuttles, delivery services. We plan to monitor these vehicles for fuel efficiency, emission reduction, battery capabilities, charging speed, etc.<br />

<br />
CAPTION: Ryan Fulcher, formerly of Geneseo,<br />
displays his Toyota Prius hybrid vehicle that<br />
gets more than 100 miles per gallon.<br />
[At URL, see More photos of car and batteries]<br />
<br />
GENESEO — Ryan Fulcher and his fiancee, Danika<br />
Minder, came home to Geneseo this week, bringing<br />
with them new technology and a chance for a better way of life.<br />
<br />
The Seattle residents and Geneseo natives watch<br />
gas prices soar more than $3 per gallon,<br />
political unrest rocks oil-rich countries, and<br />
environmental issues such as global warming grab headlines.<br />
<br />
Their message is simple and aptly stated on their<br />
car bumper -- "This Plug-In Hybrid Gets 100 plus MPG."<br />
<br />
Their mode of transportation is the Toyota Prius,<br />
originally a hybrid car, now a modified plug-in hybrid.<br />
<br />
Standard hybrids are primarily powered by<br />
gasoline engines. An electric motor kicks in<br />
while the car is idling, backing up, moving in<br />
slow traffic or after the gas engine has provided the power for acceleration.<br />
<br />
While efficient, standard hybrids are still 100 percent gas-fueled.<br />
<br />
A plug-in hybrid is more of an electric vehicle<br />
with a gas tank for a backup, said CalCars<br />
spokesman John Davi. Its batteries have to be charged each night after use.<br />
<br />
CalCars, based in Palo Alto, Calif., is a<br />
nonprofit group of entrepreneurs, engineers and<br />
environmentalists. The small group built the<br />
first plug-in Prius in 2004 and is working on others.<br />
<br />
Mr. Fulcher's plug-in is one of maybe 10 such<br />
vehicles in the world, Mr. Davi said. His Prius<br />
was converted in April by CalCar volunteers at a<br />
"Maker Faire" in San Mateo, Calif.<br />
<br />
"CalCars converted Ryan's car over a weekend in<br />
public to show that a bunch of backyard engineers<br />
could do this in a couple of days," Mr. Davi<br />
said. "Why can't Ford and GM do this?"<br />
<br />
Mr. Fulcher has done some additional work on his<br />
plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, also known as a<br />
PHEV. He thinks there is a future for these<br />
vehicles and the technology is already available.<br />
Mr. Fulcher made the 2,000-mile drive from<br />
Seattle to Geneseo this week in his Prius.<br />
<br />
While running on electricity, the vehicle is<br />
quiet and has no exhaust, Mr. Fulcher said. While<br />
showing the expanded battery pack in a storage<br />
container underneath the trunk, he said the only<br />
real maintenance is a drop cord used to plug into<br />
a 120-volt outlet each night at home.<br />
<br />
Mr. Davi said the PHEV's are made for daily commutes.<br />
<br />
He said on a 20- to 40-mile drive, the car might<br />
not use a drop of gas. But, if it goes beyond<br />
that, it simply becomes a regular efficient hybrid, using the gas engine.<br />
<br />
"It doesn't really perform as well on the long drives," Mr. Davi said.<br />
<br />
Getting 50 mpg on long drives isn't such a bad<br />
thing for Mr. Fulcher, but 100 mpg is even better<br />
on the shorter distances. He simply plugs it in<br />
at night to recharge his vehicle.<br />
<br />
Mr. Fulcher said it cost him about $3,000 to put<br />
in the additional batteries to convert the care into a PHEV.<br />
<br />
But, he said if major automakers put a program in<br />
place, it could lead to more demand and lower costs.<br />
<br />
John Felmy, chief economist for the American<br />
Petroleum Institute in Washington, D.C., said<br />
there are too many unknowns regarding plug-in<br />
hybrids. While he represents the oil and gas<br />
industries, Mr. Felmy said there will likely be<br />
more alternatives to gas-fueled vehicles in the future.<br />
<br />
High gas prices and environmental concerns are a few reasons.<br />
<br />
"There are a bunch of reasons," Mr. Felmy said.<br />
"These are new things where people want to be environmentally conscious.<br />
<br />
"With improvements in technology, they'll<br />
continue to grow. The Japanese have an incredible<br />
lead in auto technology to produce them.<br />
<br />
"It's very expensive (now). You have to see the<br />
long-term performance. Battery technology is<br />
still the linchpin for those vehicles. It has<br />
never improved to make it viable."<br />
<br />
Mr. Davi, from CalCars, envisions a combination<br />
of new technology and alternative fuels powering cars in the future.<br />
<br />
"We want to put pressure on automakers to make<br />
these cars," Mr. Davi said. "After two months,<br />
we've had announcements from GM and Toyota that they're working on them.<br />
<br />
"The question is when will they be available for sale."<br />
<br />
Until then, Mr. Fulcher and Ms. Minder will drive<br />
back home with their PHEV to Seattle after their<br />
Aug. 5 wedding. They hope for a bright future<br />
here on earth -- for both couple and car.<br />
<br />
Plug-in hybrid<br />
<br />
A plug-in hybrid (PHEV) is a modified hybrid<br />
vehicle that runs on both gasoline and<br />
electricity, but when charged is primarily an<br />
electric car with a gas-powered engine for backup.<br />
<br />
— PHEVs are charged using 120-volt current.<br />
<br />
— PHEVs, using both electricity and gasoline, get<br />
as much as 100 miles per gallon, with an equivalent cost of $1 a gallon.<br />
<br />
— On commutes, PHEVs run primarily on<br />
electricity. Longer drives require gasoline.<br />

<br />
Join us at the '''[http://www.makezine.com/faire Inaugural Maker Faire]''', April 22-23, 2006, San Mateo Fairgrounds, California.<br />
There we will be converting a stock [[Toyota Prius]] [[Hybrid]] into a [[Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle]] (PHEV).<br />
Make is a celebration of all things do-it-yourself, and we're absolutely ecstatic to participate in this event!<br />
As is the case with the first [[PriusPlus History]] and due to the DIY nature of the project we intend to always provide a drive-home mode for extreme debugging, until our conversions are essentially as reliable as the original car.<br />
After the faire we anticipate a period of fine tuning not only of ''the car''<!-- Blue --> but also of our [[Prius PHEV]] documentation.<br />
<br />
The Details:<br />
* When: Saturday, April 22, 2006 (10am - 6pm), Sunday, April 23, 2006 (10am - 5pm)<br />
* Where: The San Mateo Fairgrounds, 2495 South Delaware Street, San Mateo, CA<br />
* Admission: $12/Adult; $5/Teens; $25/Family; Under 12 free<br />

==Event Preperation==<br />
We have a big job ahead in preparing for the two day conversion. We realize that people are rightly getting enthusiastic about the event, however we need to make sure that people have realistic expectations.<br />
<br />
===Expectations===<br />
The MakerFaire car and our initial documentation and recommended components will initially specify lead-acid batteries -- low cost, but heavy and large. We hope to be able to locate a supplier of better Ni-MH or Li-Ion batteries, but can't say when we'll succeed. So for now, anyone attempting to complete this type of conversion with lead-acid will be left with a vehicle with the following characteristics:<br />
* 10 mile low-speed electric-only range, 20-mile [[Mixed-mode]] half-electric/half-gasoline range, your mileage may vary.<br />
* Battery warming may be helpfull or required in areas with cold climates. In ambient temperatures of 50 deg F or lower and low states of charge (SOC), and in lower temperatures at any SOC, potential errors (due to high battery internal resistance) may cause the car to stop running. It is highly recommended that the OEM battery be used in such conditions.<br />
* Approximately 200-cycle full discharge life (in a year, you may need to replace batteries at a cost of up to $1,000). Your performance will vary based on battery quality, depth of discharge, and many other factors.<br />
* Net weight increase of 300 pounds (assuming you keep existing battery in place, which we highly recommend)<br />
* Because of the additional weight, slightly reduced rear-window visibility, some additional load on rear shock absorbers (until we develop a source for heavy-duty springs), possibly slightly poorer road handling (equivalent to keeping a 300 lb load in the cargo area), and reduced remaining load capacity.<br />
* Due to the additional weight and the simultaneously marginal performance of the lead-acid battery, city-driving mileage may decrease by 10% when electricity is not used to offset some of the gasoline consumption.<br />
<br />

The '''Mk3 Reg''' is produced by [[Manzanita Micro]] and used in with their line of [[MM-PFC]] Chargers in the [[PiPrius]] conversion kits. The regs communicate with the charger, and/or laptop, over an ''EVILbus'' network which gives them the ability to ''throttle back'' or turn off altogether the chargers current setting. The regs do so based on both over and under voltage events in order to keep each battery from being overcharged or overdischarged. The regs retain their original "regulating" function which allows each device to burn off excess power during the final stages of a charge to help keep the entire pack equalized. Such regulation allows the chargers to safely charge the battery pack at very high rates, usually limited by the available grid feed.<br />
<br />
==Mk 3 Rudman Regulator==<br />
[[Image:MK3Reg.jpg|thumb|right|A Mk 3 Reg]]<br />
[[Image:MK3Layout.gif|thumb|right|Mk 3 Reg Layout]]<br />
:''Text from http://www.manzanitamicro.com/mk3reg.htm''<br />
'''Voltage controlled bypass regulator with digital interface.'''<br />
<br />
Easy to use ASCII command structure.<br />
<br />
Protect your advanced lead acid AGM batteries from over voltage conditions. Modern AGM type batteries fail to equalize their charging voltages when charged in a series string. A Rudman Regulator on each 12 volts battery or block of batteries will protect them from over voltage damage during the last phase of a charge cycle.<br />
<br />
The easiest way to maintain a equal charge on any single battery during a charging cycle is to regulate it's voltage. If all the batteries in your series string are at the same voltage during the Float stage of charging, then they will be equalized as much as possible. AGM type batteries capacity vary during manufacture, and they tend to get out of equalization during use during heavy EV cycling. The first battery to "fill Up" has a higher resistance and then robs the other batteries of the charging current that they need to be totally charged. Then during discharge the same happens to the first battery to be completely empty. So some batteries get damaged from over voltage and thermal, and some get damaged from cell reversal and never fully charged. An AGM string has very little "give" to it while finish charging. A battery bypass regulator gives the string the "give" it needs to protect the first to get full, and to pass the unneeded power along to the batteries that still are charging.<br />

The MM-PFC (Power Factor Corrected) line of battery chargers are produced by [[Manzanita Micro]] and used in their [[PiPrius]] conversion kits. An enhanced version of the PFC30 named the '''PFC40H''' is used in the conversions. This enhanced charger includes three externally triggered tunable voltage targets and two current (Amps) set points one of which is adjustable by the standard current nob. These new features are driven by a [[CAN-View]] which when PHEV mode is enabled powers up the charger, sets it to full current, and enguages ''V2'' which is the lower of two NiMH voltage setpoints. Also based on [[SOC]] as reported by the Prius BMS computer the CAN-View can triger ''V3'' which is a higher NiMH voltage that induces [[State Of Charge Drift]], raising the precieved SOC.<br />
<br />
==PFC Chargers==<br />
[[Image:PFC20bh71a.jpg|thumb|right|PFC20, 30, & 40H]]<br />
[[Image:PFC50102.jpg|thumb|right|PFC50]]<br />
[[Image:PFC 50-20.jpg|thumb|right|PFC50 & PFC20]]<br />
:''Text form http://www.manzanitamicro.com/chargers3.htm''<br />
The PFC series of chargers are designed to be as versatile and as powerful as possible within the limits of residential power infrastructure. Three models are available: The PFC20 that is designed to operate from a 20 amp 240 volt outlet, the PFC30 that is designed to operate from a 30 amp 240 volt dryer outlet, and the PFC50 that is designed to operate from a 50 amp 240 volt range outlet. They will operate at half power (same line current) from a 120 VAC source.<br />
<br />
'''Extremely versatile input and output voltages'''<br />
<br />
These chargers will operate on any voltage from 60 volts to 240 volts AC at either 50 or 60 Hz. Current is limited to ~20 amps input or output for the PFC20, ~30 amps input or output for the PFC30 and ~50 amps input or output for the PFC50. There are no switches to adjust to change the input voltage. The charger automatically uses whatever voltage is provided.<br />
<br />
The charger output can be adjusted for any charging voltage from 12 volts to 450 volts with the twist of a 20 turn trimmer pot. There is no need to buy different chargers for the different electric vehicles you may need to charge. The charger can be reprogrammed to another pack voltage if you change the number of batteries in your system. There is no longer a need to buy another charger every time you add or take batteries out of your system.<br />
<br />
The actual power delivered is a function of input and output voltage. Refer to the performance charts for the various products to see how much power to expect in your application.<br />
<br />
'''Extremely powerful for an onboard charger'''<br />
<br />
The essential ingredient for fast recharge times is to deliver high power to the battery. The key to polite opportunity charging is to be able to share outlets with other equipment and make efficient use of limited current. The PFC line of chargers have a throttle to allow the chargers to be turned down to operate on very limited power sources such as small generators. The PFC20 has demonstrated putting 2200 watts into a 156 volt battery pack from a 2400 watt generator. Efficiency and power factor are both better than 0.9.<br />
<br />
The PFC20 can put 5 kW into a 450 volt battery from 240 VAC input or 2500 watts into a 180 volt battery from 120 VAC. The PFC20 does this while operating from a 20 amp circuit breaker.<br />
<br />
The PFC20 weighs 16 pounds and resides in a box that is 13 x 9 x 5.5 inches.<br />
<br />
The PFC30 weighs 17 pounds and resides in a box that is 13 x 9 x 5.5 inches.<br />
<br />
The PFC50 weighs 42 pounds and resides in a box that is 19.5 x 10.5 x 6.5 inches.<br />

<br />
Cooling for the [[Toyota Prius]] is done with simple air flow from a squirrel cage type fan capable of drawing about 6 amps for ample air flow. Though the Prius almost never runs the fan at full speed. In fact the fan isn't even powered until the battery temperature reaches ''?96&deg;F'' and doesn't attempt to cool aggressively by speeding up the fan until the temperature is well above ''?120&deg;F''. This is perfectly acceptable for normal operation but for certain methods used to convert the car into a [[Prius PHEV]] more cooling is desirable. There are a number of reasons such as:<br />
* The [[Prius EV Mode]] is not allowed if the battery is above 107&deg;F.<br />
* The [[Battery Pack Configurations#Hybrid|Hybrid Battery Pack Configuration]] tends to warm the OEM battery during heavy use due to the charge current which is applied.<br />
* High temperatures limit the Charge Current Limit leading to something similar to the [[State Of Charge Manipulation#Charge Limit Conundrum|CCL Conundrum]].<br />
<br />
So for these reasons such conversions have devised methods for overriding the OEM Fan control so that the fan can be run faster in order to keep the battery at a lower target temperature. This may also be handy for stock cars in hot climates and can be easily implemented as a stand alone modification without the full PHEV conversion. Here is how OEM battery fan control is dealt with for a pair of PHEV conversions:<br />

* A portion of the [[PiPrius conversion process#Interlock Box]] schematics [[:Image:Interlockschematic.png]] handles OEM fan control for the [[PiPrius]] project.<br />
<br />
As an alternative to cutting Prius wires you can purchase the following OEM battery plug and mating pins, though they are not inexpensive:<br />
* OEM battery fan plug pins: Toyota P/N 82998-12380<br />
* OEM battery fan plug mating pins: Toyota P/N 82998-12370<br />
<br />
== Stand alone OEM fan control ==<br />
Using the same method employed by the PiPrius conversions [[PiPrius_conversion_process#Interlock_Box|Interlock Box]] you can build a simple stand alone circuit capable of overriding the OEM fan control and running the fan at full speed instead which rapidly removes heat from the OEM battery pack.<br />

# You will need to cut the OEM can wires between the support clip and the plug which attaches to the fan.<br />
#* There are two green and two violet wires, attach insulated blade crimp connectors to the OEM wires in such a manner that they can be plugged back into their original configuration. Use the same gender on the wires leading to the fan, and the other gender on the other wires which lead to the OEM CPU.<br />
# The Heavy eyelet is used as a ground point and for structural support when mounting the circuit.<br />
#* Use heavy fence wire, or a pliable metal coat hanger (not so heavy that it's difficult to bend). Wrap the wire around the relay socket twice leaving an two inches or so of excess twisting out from one side. You will attach the ground wire and the large eyelet crimp connector to the end of the heavy wire for mounting it to a ground point.<br />
#* Use hot glue to ensure that the wire wrapped around the relay socket can't work it's way off due to vibration.<br />
#* You may also choose to solder the eyelet to the ground wire and heavy wire after crimping.<br />
# Solder the short black ground wire to one of the coil pins of the relay socket and also (or another length) to the NO (Normally Open) pin of one of the relays throws.<br />
# Solder a 12" length of Violet wire to the swinger pin on the same throw. To the other end crimp a blade connector which will mate with the connector leading to the fans Violet wire.<br />
# Solder a long length of White wire to the remaining coil pin on the relay socket, this will be energized with +12v to enable the fan control override so you may want it to reach the drivers seat area.<br />
# Solder a 24" length of Red wire which must also be fused to the unused NO pin of the other throw. This wire will be attached to the +12v accessory battery to power the OEM battery fan.<br />
# Solder a 12" length of Green wire to the unused swinger pin. To the other end crimp a blade connector which will mate with connector leading to the fans Green wire.<br />
# To the remaining two NC (Normally Closed) pins you will need to attach the two 220 ohm 1/4 watt resistors and the 330 uF Alum (Polarized) capacitor, these will fool the Prius CPU into thinking that there is still a fan attached when we disconnect the real fan from it.<br />
## Solder a 12" length of Green wire and one leg of one of the resistors to the Green NC pin (The throw with the Green and Red wires already attached). To the other end of the wire crimp a blade connector which will mate with connector leading to the CPUs Green wire.<br />
## Solder a 12" length of Violet wire, one leg of the other resistor, and the negetive(-) leg of the capacitor to the Violet NC pin (The throw with the Violet and ground wires already attached. To the other end of the wire crimp a blade connector which will mate with connector leading to the CPUs Violet wire.<br />
## Solder the remaining three legs, two resistor legs and positive(+) capacitor leg together, they should not touch any other points.<br />
## Use an insulating material such as hot glue to insure that none of the pins nor components soldered to the relay socket can be touched. We don't want anything to get grounded once it's installed.<br />
# Install by securing the eyelet under the nut which holds a metal bracket with a wire disconnect attached just above the OEM cooling fan. Plug the Green and Violet wires into their proper locations between the CPU and Fan at the splice location. Attach the fused +12v wire to the accessory battery positive(+) post.<br />
# Now any time that the White wire is supplied with +12v the OEM fan should roar to life at full power. You can now program your [[CAN-View]] to turn on the fan at above some temperature such as 95&deg;F. Or you can simply attach the wire to a toggle switch that you can turn on and off, but be sure that the switch is attached to an acc/run +12v source such that if you leave the switch on when the car is off it won't continue to run and drain your accessory battery.<br />

These are the steps involved to convert a [[Toyota Prius]] into a [[PiPrius]]. There are a number of tasks to be completed in order for the entire system to function properly. Those tasks are covered in the following subsections of the Conversion Procedures. These instructions are currently under development and may not yet be complete.<br />

==CAN-View Version4==<br />
<br />
Another set of instructions may be needed for the CAN-View Version 4 which does not integrate with the OEM [[MFD]] and gets power directly from the OBDII port, [http://priuschat.com/index.php?act=ST&f=62&t=27906 Prius CAN View V4 Mounting options] at PriusChat.com covers various ways of mounting the second touch screen.<br />
<br />
==CAN-View Configuration==<br />
The CAN-View should be pre-configured, but if you update the firmware or change the settings and forget the defaults here is what we use for the PiPrius conversion settings. Please refer to the text settings as opposed to the screen shot images as the photos may not be as up to date. The Bold text represents the changeable elements which the user can customize. Please feel free to use slightly different values depending on your unique driving conditions or characteristics of your particular vehicle. Some of the general settings we change from the defaults are Sound: '''no''', Autosave: '''no''', '''Info''' :start, Black background: '''yes''': '''@night'''. Be aware that you must use the save button in order for changes to take effect after the car is powered off. It is recommended that you save on the page which you would like to be the default page you see when the car is powered on.<br />

These are the settings found on the Setup -> PHEV page. These 8 options dictate the manner in which the Auto EV-Mode functions works. RL1 is used to trigger the EV-Mode button which can be triggered manually or by the Auto EV-Mode function. The ''SOC 0-5s'' value is used during the first 5 seconds when the vehicle is powered on, the ''SOC+5s'' value is used after startup during normal driving. There is an ''EV Man/EV Auto'' button on the menu bar of each of the normal screens which disables or enables the Auto EV-Mode function.<br />

This Relay is used to activate the PFC Charger's High NiMH Voltage setting which will cause the SOC to rise due to [[State Of Charge Drift]]. The Acl (Amps Charge Limit) is monitored to keep from overcharging the NiMH and attempt to leave some headroom for regen power. Unlike RL3, speed is not monitored so this relay's lower SOC target is used during low speed situations when there will typically be more regen and EV-Mode can be taken advantage of.<br />

This Relay is used to bypass the OEM control over the NiMH battery cooling fan. The OEM battery does not function to it's full capabilities until it warms up into the 90&deg;F's, however if it is allowed to reach ''~105&deg;F<!-- As I recall at the moment-->'' then EV-Mode is denied. The OEM fan is more than capable of rapidly cooling the OEM battery however the Toyota system rarely allows the fan to run at full speed, in fact we have seen it reach as much as 130&deg;F without much demand for additional cooling from the fan.<br />

This Relay is not currently in use, so it has been left with the default values. The first option is always false, while the remaining three are always true. These defaults allow for ease of configuration as upon changing the first value to some useful settings the remaining always true values can be ignored.<br />

[[Image:Interlockschematic.png|thumb|The [[PiPrius]] Interlock box.]]<br />
<br />
The Interlock Box connects all the components of the kit. The low power signals from the [[CAN-View]] relays and other OEM systems signals enter the interlock box. These signals are then passed on to the charger to enable full power mode and two voltage settings, they can also enable full speed mode for the OEM battery cooling fan [http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/eaa-phev/message/688 Y!:Prius OEM battery fan control info]. The high power cables from the OEM battery, grid charge port, charger input, and charger output connect here. The box contains the high power contractors which switch from charge mode to PHEV mode. The PHEV battery pack inter-pack fuse or breaker as well as the AC line power circuit breaker are found in this box. The interlock box has been created as a 10" square plastic utility case, an aluminum box which fits the passenger side cubby compartment, and an aluminum rectangular box mounted near the charger in the universal modular battery box.<br />

The battery regulators monitor each 12v battery to make sure each is never over-charged nor over-discharged. During the charge cycle each regulator is capable of dissipating ''x'' watts of power as well as communicating to the charger in order to lower it's charge rate. During the discharge cycle each regulator communicates with the charger to lower it's ''dis''charge rate once a battery reaches about 10.5v under load to prevent them from being over discharged. This regulation system should protect and prolong the life of the battery pack as well as help to diagnose any issues that may arise with weak batteries. Digital versions of the regulators are also capable of communications with a computer over a serial RS232 bus to report their current state and to accept new parameters.<br />

The MM-PFC (Power Factor Corrected) line of battery chargers are produced by [[Manzanita Micro]] and used in their [[PiPrius]] conversion kits. An enhanced version of the PFC30 named the '''PFC40H''' is used in the conversions. This enhanced charger includes three externally triggered tunable voltage targets and two current (Amps) set points one of which is adjustable by the standard current nob. These new features are driven by a [[CAN-View]] which when PHEV mode is enabled powers up the charger, sets it to full current, and enguages ''V2'' which is the lower of two NiMH voltage setpoints. Also based on [[SOC]] as reported by the Prius BMS computer the CAN-View can triger ''V3'' which is a higher NiMH voltage that induces [[State Of Charge Drift]], raising the precieved SOC.<br />
<br />
==PFC Chargers==<br />
[[Image:PFC20bh71a.jpg|thumb|right|PFC20, 30, & 40H]]<br />
[[Image:PFC50102.jpg|thumb|right|PFC50]]<br />
[[Image:PFC 50-20.jpg|thumb|right|PFC50 & PFC20]]<br />
:''Text form http://www.manzanitamicro.com/chargers3.htm''<br />
The PFC series of chargers are designed to be as versatile and as powerful as possible within the limits of residential power infrastructure. Three models are available: The PFC20 that is designed to operate from a 20 amp 240 volt outlet, the PFC30 that is designed to operate from a 30 amp 240 volt dryer outlet, and the PFC50 that is designed to operate from a 50 amp 240 volt range outlet. They will operate at half power (same line current) from a 120 VAC source.<br />
<br />
'''Extremely versatile input and output voltages'''<br />
<br />
These chargers will operate on any voltage from 60 volts to 240 volts AC at either 50 or 60 Hz. Current is limited to ~20 amps input or output for the PFC20, ~30 amps input or output for the PFC30 and ~50 amps input or output for the PFC50. There are no switches to adjust to change the input voltage. The charger automatically uses whatever voltage is provided.<br />
<br />
The charger output can be adjusted for any charging voltage from 12 volts to 450 volts with the twist of a 20 turn trimmer pot. There is no need to buy different chargers for the different electric vehicles you may need to charge. The charger can be reprogrammed to another pack voltage if you change the number of batteries in your system. There is no longer a need to buy another charger every time you add or take batteries out of your system.<br />
<br />
The actual power delivered is a function of input and output voltage. Refer to the performance charts for the various products to see how much power to expect in your application.<br />
<br />
'''Extremely powerful for an onboard charger'''<br />
<br />
The essential ingredient for fast recharge times is to deliver high power to the battery. The key to polite opportunity charging is to be able to share outlets with other equipment and make efficient use of limited current. The PFC line of chargers have a throttle to allow the chargers to be turned down to operate on very limited power sources such as small generators. The PFC20 has demonstrated putting 2200 watts into a 156 volt battery pack from a 2400 watt generator. Efficiency and power factor are both better than 0.9.<br />
<br />
The PFC20 can put 5 kW into a 450 volt battery from 240 VAC input or 2500 watts into a 180 volt battery from 120 VAC. The PFC20 does this while operating from a 20 amp circuit breaker.<br />
<br />
The PFC20 weighs 16 pounds and resides in a box that is 13 x 9 x 5.5 inches.<br />
<br />
The PFC30 weighs 17 pounds and resides in a box that is 13 x 9 x 5.5 inches.<br />
<br />
The PFC50 weighs 42 pounds and resides in a box that is 19.5 x 10.5 x 6.5 inches.<br />

<br />
Cooling for the [[Toyota Prius]] is done with simple air flow from a squirrel cage type fan capable of drawing about 6 amps for ample air flow. Though the Prius almost never runs the fan at full speed. In fact the fan isn't even powered until the battery temperature reaches ''?96&deg;F'' and doesn't attempt to cool aggressively by speeding up the fan until the temperature is well above ''?120&deg;F''. This is perfectly acceptable for normal operation but for certain methods used to convert the car into a [[Prius PHEV]] more cooling is desirable. There are a number of reasons such as:<br />
* The [[Prius EV Mode]] is not allowed if the battery is above 107&deg;F.<br />
* The [[Battery Pack Configurations#Hybrid|Hybrid Battery Pack Configuration]] tends to warm the OEM battery during heavy use due to the charge current which is applied.<br />
* High temperatures limit the Charge Current Limit leading to something similar to the [[State Of Charge Manipulation#Charge Limit Conundrum|CCL Conundrum]].<br />
<br />
So for these reasons such conversions have devised methods for overriding the OEM Fan control so that the fan can be run faster in order to keep the battery at a lower target temperature. This may also be handy for stock cars in hot climates and can be easily implemented as a stand alone modification without the full PHEV conversion. Here is how OEM battery fan control is dealt with for a pair of PHEV conversions:<br />

** [[PriusPlus-Instructions#OEM Battery Fan Control Tap]]<br />
** [http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/eaa-phev/message/688 Y!:Prius OEM battery fan control info]<br />
* A portion of the [[PiPrius conversion process#Interlock Box]] schematics [[:Image:Interlockschematic.png]] handles OEM fan control for the [[PiPrius]] project.<br />
<br />
As an alternative to cutting Prius wires you can purchase the following OEM battery plug and mating pins, though they are not inexpensive:<br />
* OEM battery fan plug pins: Toyota P/N 82998-12380<br />
* OEM battery fan plug mating pins: Toyota P/N 82998-12370<br />
<br />
== Stand alone OEM fan control ==<br />
Using the same method employed by the PiPrius conversions [[PiPrius_conversion_process#Interlock_Box|Interlock Box]] you can build a simple stand alone circuit capable of overriding the OEM fan control and running the fan at full speed instead which rapidly removes heat from the OEM battery pack.<br />

[[Image:DSC00387.JPG|thumb|right|Mounted in car near OEM fan.]]<br />
# You will need to cut the OEM can wires between the support clip and the plug which attaches to the fan.<br />
#* There are two green and two violet wires, attach insulated blade crimp connectors to the OEM wires in such a manner that they can be plugged back into their original configuration. Use the same gender on the wires leading to the fan, and the other gender on the other wires which lead to the OEM CPU.<br />
# The Heavy eyelet is used as a ground point and for structural support when mounting the circuit.<br />
#* Use heavy fence wire, or a pliable metal coat hanger (not so heavy that it's difficult to bend). Wrap the wire around the relay socket twice leaving an two inches or so of excess twisting out from one side. You will attach the ground wire and the large eyelet crimp connector to the end of the heavy wire for mounting it to a ground point.<br />
#* Use hot glue to ensure that the wire wrapped around the relay socket can't work it's way off due to vibration.<br />
#* You may also choose to solder the eyelet to the ground wire and heavy wire after crimping.<br />
# Solder the short black ground wire to one of the coil pins of the relay socket and also (or another length) to the NO (Normally Open) pin of one of the relays throws.<br />
# Solder a 12" length of Violet wire to the swinger pin on the same throw. To the other end crimp a blade connector which will mate with the connector leading to the fans Violet wire.<br />
# Solder a long length of White wire to the remaining coil pin on the relay socket, this will be energized with +12v to enable the fan control override so you may want it to reach the drivers seat area.<br />
# Solder a 24" length of Red wire which must also be fused to the unused NO pin of the other throw. This wire will be attached to the +12v accessory battery to power the OEM battery fan.<br />
# Solder a 12" length of Green wire to the unused swinger pin. To the other end crimp a blade connector which will mate with connector leading to the fans Green wire.<br />
# To the remaining two NC (Normally Closed) pins you will need to attach the two 220 ohm 1/4 watt resistors and the 330 uF Alum (Polarized) capacitor, these will fool the Prius CPU into thinking that there is still a fan attached when we disconnect the real fan from it.<br />
## Solder a 12" length of Green wire and one leg of one of the resistors to the Green NC pin (The throw with the Green and Red wires already attached). To the other end of the wire crimp a blade connector which will mate with connector leading to the CPUs Green wire.<br />
## Solder a 12" length of Violet wire, one leg of the other resistor, and the negetive(-) leg of the capacitor to the Violet NC pin (The throw with the Violet and ground wires already attached. To the other end of the wire crimp a blade connector which will mate with connector leading to the CPUs Violet wire.<br />
## Solder the remaining three legs, two resistor legs and positive(+) capacitor leg together, they should not touch any other points.<br />
## Use an insulating material such as hot glue to insure that none of the pins nor components soldered to the relay socket can be touched. We don't want anything to get grounded once it's installed.<br />
# Install by securing the eyelet under the nut which holds a metal bracket with a wire disconnect attached just above the OEM cooling fan. Plug the Green and Violet wires into their proper locations between the CPU and Fan at the splice location. Attach the fused +12v wire to the accessory battery positive(+) post.<br />
# Now any time that the White wire is supplied with +12v the OEM fan should roar to life at full power. You can now program your [[CAN-View]] to turn on the fan at above some temperature such as 95&deg;F. Or you can simply attach the wire to a toggle switch that you can turn on and off, but be sure that the switch is attached to an acc/run +12v source such that if you leave the switch on when the car is off it won't continue to run and drain your accessory battery.<br />

These are the steps involved to convert a [[Toyota Prius]] into a [[PiPrius]]. There are a number of tasks to be completed in order for the entire system to function properly. Those tasks are covered in the following subsections of the Conversion Procedures. These instructions are currently under development and may not yet be complete.<br />

{{Prius CAN-ViewV3 & EV-Mode Button}}<br />
<br />
==CAN-View Version4==<br />
<br />
Another set of instructions may be needed for the CAN-View Version 4 which does not integrate with the OEM [[MFD]] and gets power directly from the OBDII port, [http://priuschat.com/index.php?act=ST&f=62&t=27906 Prius CAN View V4 Mounting options] at PriusChat.com covers various ways of mounting the second touch screen.<br />
<br />
==CAN-View Configuration==<br />
The CAN-View should be pre-configured, but if you update the firmware or change the settings and forget the defaults here is what we use for the PiPrius conversion settings. Please refer to the text settings as opposed to the screen shot images as the photos may not be as up to date. The Bold text represents the changeable elements which the user can customize. Please feel free to use slightly different values depending on your unique driving conditions or characteristics of your particular vehicle. Some of the general settings we change from the defaults are Sound: '''no''', Autosave: '''no''', '''Info''' :start, Black background: '''yes''': '''@night'''. Be aware that you must use the save button in order for changes to take effect after the car is powered off. It is recommended that you save on the page which you would like to be the default page you see when the car is powered on.<br />

'''Note:''' We suggest that you clear your trip page values, press the AH counter to reset it's value, and then return to this page and save whenever you make configuration changes. This will ensure that each trip will start with 0 distance and time and that the AH counter begins from the same state on each trip.<br />

''If you use the Autosave function then your trip and AH values will be retained between trips. You may wish to choose a much larger AH value when using the Autosave function as the counter stops at 0 and will not go (-)negative, we have not yet used this function extensively and as such have no good recommendations.''<br />

These are the settings found on the Setup -> PHEV page. These 8 options dictate the manner in which the Auto EV-Mode functions works. RL1 is used to trigger the EV-Mode button which can be triggered manually or by the Auto EV-Mode function. The ''SOC 0-5s'' value is used during the first 5 seconds when the vehicle is powered on, the ''SOC+5s'' value is used after startup during normal driving. There is an ''EV Man/EV Auto'' button on the menu bar of each of the normal screens which disables or enables the Auto EV-Mode function.<br />

This Relay is used to activate the PFC Charger's High NiMH Voltage setting which will cause the SOC to rise due to [[State Of Charge Drift]]. The Acl (Amps Charge Limit) is monitored to keep from overcharging the NiMH and attempt to leave some headroom for regen power. Unlike RL3, speed is not monitored so this relay's lower SOC target is used during low speed situations when there will typically be more regen and EV-Mode can be taken advantage of.<br />

This Relay is used to bypass the OEM control over the NiMH battery cooling fan. The OEM battery does not function to it's full capabilities until it warms up into the 90&deg;F's, however if it is allowed to reach ''~105&deg;F<!-- As I recall at the moment-->'' then EV-Mode is denied. The OEM fan is more than capable of rapidly cooling the OEM battery however the Toyota system rarely allows the fan to run at full speed, in fact we have seen it reach as much as 130&deg;F without much demand for additional cooling from the fan.<br />

This Relay is not currently in use, so it has been left with the default values. The first option is always false, while the remaining three are always true. These defaults allow for ease of configuration as upon changing the first value to some useful settings the remaining always true values can be ignored.<br />

[[Image:Interlockschematic.png|thumb|The [[PiPrius]] Interlock box.]]<br />
<br />
The Interlock Box connects all the components of the kit. The low power signals from the [[CAN-View]] relays and other OEM systems signals enter the interlock box. These signals are then passed on to the charger to enable full power mode and two voltage settings, they can also enable full speed mode for the OEM battery cooling fan [http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/eaa-phev/message/688 Y!:Prius OEM battery fan control info]. The high power cables from the OEM battery, grid charge port, charger input, and charger output connect here. The box contains the high power contractors which switch from charge mode to PHEV mode. The PHEV battery pack inter-pack fuse or breaker as well as the AC line power circuit breaker are found in this box. The interlock box has been created as a 10" square plastic utility case, an aluminum box which fits the passenger side cubby compartment, and an aluminum rectangular box mounted near the charger in the universal modular battery box.<br />

The battery regulators monitor each 12v battery to make sure each is never over-charged nor over-discharged. During the charge cycle each regulator is capable of dissipating ''x'' watts of power as well as communicating to the charger in order to lower it's charge rate. During the discharge cycle each regulator communicates with the charger to lower it's ''dis''charge rate once a battery reaches about 10.5v under load to prevent them from being over discharged. This regulation system should protect and prolong the life of the battery pack as well as help to diagnose any issues that may arise with weak batteries. Digital versions of the regulators are also capable of communications with a computer over a serial RS232 bus to report their current state and to accept new parameters.<br />

<br />
[[CAN-View]] Logs from Initial PHEV Test & Tune runs:<br />
* 2006.05.27 - [[:Image:Capture001.zip]] - 2 short PHEV tests, no relays used, CCL issues, 1 charge.<br />
* 2006.05.29 - [[:Image:Capture002.zip]] - 4 PHEV tests, SOC relay trigger, 30.2 miles, 3 charges.<br />
* 2006.07.15 - [[:Image:Capture003.zip]] - Trip to Manzanita HEV/PHEV mixed-mode<br />
Added LowBatReg, a single MarkIII regulator which communicates with PFC to lower current levels in order to keep ''known'' lowest PbA battery above 10.0v. Eventually all batteries will have such regulators protecting each from over and under voltage events. Regs will also enhance the ability to equalize the pack and charge safely without manual monitoring.<br />
* 2006.07.16 - [[:Image:Capture004.zip]] - 3 short mostly EV-Only trips & a P3000 DTC.<br />
Restored OEM cooling system to original state, finished testing degraded OEM cooling.<br />
* 2006.07.17 - [[:Image:Capture005.zip]] - Ryans commute, and repeat of Cap004.<br />
* 2006.07.18 - [[:Image:Capture006.zip]] - Ryans commute, much improved performance on return trip.<br />
* 2006.07.19 - [[:Image:Capture007.zip]] - Ryans commute.<br />
* 2006.07.20 - [[:Image:Capture008.zip]] - Ryans commute.<br />
* 2006.07.23 - [[:Image:Capture009.zip]] - Four consecutive tanks during a road trip.<br />
* 2006.09.16 - [[:Image:Capture010.zip]] - Pair of Mixed mode trips.<br />
* 2006.09.17 - [[:Image:Capture011.zip]] - Short low speed trip.<br />
* 2006.10.02 - [[:Image:Capture012.zip]] - Trip with new relay box, colder weather.<br />
* 2006.11.22 - [[:Image:Capture013.zip]] - Trip from work to apt, need to up NiMH-HighV setpoint to ~240v.<br />
* 2006.11.26 - [[:Image:Capture014.zip]] - Testing with current through OEM HAL sensor, got DTC's @ .95 miles.<br />
* See also [[PriusBlue Mileage]] & [[Image:PriusBlueMileage.zip]] spreadsheets for more trip data and details.<br />

See the [[Prius PHEV]] page for Plug-in versions of the Prius.<br />
<br />
The '''Toyota Prius''' is a Gas-Electric Hybrid Powered but 100% gasoline fueled vehicle. It and similar hybrid implementations have the ability to drive on electric power alone with limited but adequate low speed performance. As such the addition of higher capacity battery, computer modifications, and a battery charger would give such vehicles the ability to be fueled from electricity for short local trips.<br />

[[Image:Pluginpartnerslogo.gif|right|80px]]<br />
<br />
To this date there have been a number of successful [[Toyota Prius|Prius]] [[PHEV]] conversions beginning with [[User:Rgremban|Ron]] of [[:Category:CalCars|CalCars]] [http://www.CalCars.org] [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/calcars-news] [[PriusPlus History|Original]] [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/priusplus] and current [[PriusPlus]] projects.<br />
Other small startups include the [[PiPrius]] [http://www.PiPrius.com] [http://www.manzanitamicro.com] and [[Hybrids-Plus]] [http://hybrids-plus.com] [http://energysense.com] projects.<br />
[[EnergyCS]] [http://energycs.com/] and their European partner [[Amberjac]] [http://www.amberjac-projects.co.uk/] as well as Canadian [[Hymotion]] [http://www.hymotion.com] have converted numerous Prius PHEVs to this point. [[EDrive]] [http://www.edrivesystems.com] will be offering conversion soon.<br />
The tenth conversion of [[PriusBlue]] was undertaken in public April of 2006 at the [[Inaugural Maker Faire]] to help enhance the documentation and help promote PHEVs in the pacific northwest and midwest.<br />
<br />
At this time there are two common conversion methods for the Prius.<br />
The '''[[#Original CalCars Method]]''' used in Rons [[PriusPlus History]], [[EnergyCS]], [[Amberjac]], [[EDrive]], and [[Hybrids-Plus]] conversions replace the stock battery with a new [[Battery Pack Configurations#Simple|simple string]].<br />
The second '''[[#Hybrid-Pack Method]]''' is used in the new [[PriusPlus]], [[PiPrius]], and by the [[Hymotion]] conversions.<br />
This second method should be easily adapted from the '04+ [[Toyota Prius|Prius]] to the ''Classic'' '00-'03 Prius, [[Ford Escape Hybrid|Escape]], and other [[Hybrid]]s as they use a [[Battery Pack Configurations#Hybrid|hybrid battery pack configuration]] which uses both a new simple string and the original stock batteries.<br />
The new PriusPlus and the PiPrius projects moved to the '''[[#Hybrid-Pack Method]]''' in order to remedy the [[State Of Charge Manipulation#Charge Limit Conundrum|CCL Conundrum]].<br />
Both types, of course, use a [[Battery Chargers]] to recharge from the grid.<br />
Toyota has warned that such conversions may adversely affect your [[Warranty]].<br />
<br />
The [[Prius PHEV TechInfo]] page has a lot of technical information on the Prius which may be useful when designing a PHEV conversion.<br />
See the [[Template:Terms|Terms]] page if you aren't familiar with some of the underlying principals or acronyms used through the documentation.<br />
Also be aware of the [[Template:Disclaimer|Disclaimer]] should you be considering a conversion yourself.<br />
This [http://www.airlabcorp.com/Prius/priusdisman.pdf PriusDisMan.pdf] ''([[Media:Priusdisman.pdf]] from http://www.airlabcorp.com/Prius/priusdisman.pdf)'' might be handy for its dismantle and safety warnings<br />
<br />
==Prius Conversions Chronology==<br />
For a more detailed chronology of Prius ''(and other vehicle)'' conversions completed since CalCars' first one in November 2004, including pictures, locations and contact information of the owners, see [http://www.calcars.org/where-phevs-are.html where-phevs-are] at CalCars.org.<br />
The Google http://rechargeit.org site has a map of PHEV vehicles, this http://www.frappr.com/phev was an early attempt at mapping PHEV's and EV's, and the http://www.pluginmap.org site has charging stations.<br />

==Original CalCars Method==<br />
{{Disclaimer|baronly=1}}{{Clear}}<br />
{|<br />
| valign=top |<br />
This conversion method was originally demonstrated by CalCars which replaces the OEM battery with a new higher capacity [[Battery Pack Configurations#Simple|simple string]] of batteries. Ron's first [[PriusPlus History]] conversion used early proprietary [[EDrive]] technology. A later version of this method by CalCars attempted to exploit the [[State Of Charge Drift]] portion of the vehicles battery management routines in order to accomplish [[State Of Charge Manipulation]] with the use of a [[Battery Tap Emulator]]. However this attempt was unsuccessful due to the [[State Of Charge Manipulation#Charge Limit Conundrum|CCL Conundrum]]. As such further development of the Original CalCars method has been postponed while perusing the [[#Hybrid-Pack Method]] which has now been successfully implemented.<br />
<br />
A number of companies such as [[EnergyCS]], [[Amberjac]], [[EDrive]], and [[Hybrids-Plus]] use this method with custom hardware which replaces the OEM battery management computer in order to dictate the [[SOC]] which is communicated to the rest of the vehicles computers. In doing so these conversions report a higher than normal SOC while in [[Charge-depleting]] mode in order to raise mileage by increasing the electric contribution to motive power. This higher than normal SOC also encourage more stealth mode and enables longer operation in [[Prius EV Mode]]. Once the new higher capacity battery pack is sufficiently depleted the system reports normal SOC values causing the vehicle to return to the normal [[Charge-systaining]] mode of operation just like a stock Prius.<br />

<br />
==Hybrid-Pack Method==<br />
{{Disclaimer|baronly=1}}<br />
The Hybrid-Pack method employs a [[Battery Pack Configurations#Hybrid|Hybrid Battery Pack Configuration]] which has been used in the past as a solution which combines two battery banks in order to mask weaknesses in one or both resulting in a robust overall system. For example a high energy/low capacity and high capacity/low energy battery might be combined resulting in an overall high energy and high capacity resource. [[Hymotion]] was the first to employ this type of configuration followed by the new [[PriusPlus]] and [[PiPrius]] projects. These conversions mask the low capacity characteristics of the OEM battery with a higher capacity battery. While this higher capacity battery also has higher energy, keeping the OEM battery and it's support systems in place eliminates the need for a replacement Battery Management Computer capable of communicating with the rest of the Prius systems. For more core ideas surrounding this method see [[Prius PHEV Battery Options]] for more specific battery information. <br />
<br />
This method exploits the [[State Of Charge Drift]] portion of the OEM battery management routines in order to accomplish [[State Of Charge Manipulation]], but does not utilize a [[Battery Tap Emulator]]. The result is the ability to effectively change the target [[SOC]] from the normal ~60% to higher values which are more useful for [[PHEV]] applications. The [[Prius EV Mode]] can also be utilized for longer durations because SOC Drift is capable of maintaining an acceptable SOC value. A [[CAN]] device is required to acts as a [[Prius PHEV User Interfaces|Prius PHEV User Interface]] and management device. <s>Such hardware/software will need to follow logic similar to that laid out by [[Prius PHEV Pseudo Code]].</s> The Latest [[PriusPlus]] and [[PiPrius]] conversions use [http://www.hybridinterfaces.ca hybridinterfaces] [[CAN-View]] Scantool device which is currently available for 2004 and newer Prius, and may eventually be used in other Hybrids such as the [[Ford Escape Hybrid]]. You can take a look at [[Prius PHEV Photos]] which are available to help visualize parts of the conversion process.<br />

<br />
===PFC Based===<br />
Rich Rudman of [[Manzanita Micro] (http://www.manzanitamicro.com) and [[User:Rjf|Ryan]] have implemented a conversion using an upgraded [[MM-PFC]]-30, named the PFC40H, as a DC-DC converter and charger. Rich has developed and is offering conversion kits.<br />
<br />
===Enginer Based===<br />
Jack Chen has implemented a conversion using a special designed DC-DC converter and controller made by [[Enginer]] (http://www.enginer.us), which monitors stock and PHEV battery SOC to determine conversion kit's discharge rate without CAN interface. This method can support both Gen 1 and Gen 2 Prius as well as other hybrids by adjusting output voltage and current. The interface (5 wires) to the stock vehicle is very minimum resulting in significant cost savings. AutomationTech Inc is offering complete conversion kits under $2000 in US.<br />
