Notes:

Notes:

  1. Assuming <35 mph, 210 Wh/mile (260 Wh/mi from grid) ref, 1.5 miles with stock pack
  2. During which the mileage is on the order of 100 mpg. Shows range as stated by organization.
  3. Safety in case of major accident
    1. Many Lithium cells will burst in flames if penetrated. However, phosphate cathode LiIon cells (such as Valence and A123) are flame-proof.
    2. SLA batteries contain lead and sulphuric acid but are spill-proof
  4. From discharged to the point the pack will no longer be used in PHEV, to fully charged (per Orbital, SLA require 8 hr taper -- done at least once every 3 days -- after near full charge, to reach 100% and prevent sulfation)
  5. Because the DOD of the stock pack is limited by the Prius, only about 0.3 KWh of its energy is available (US). It is assumed that additional batteries are limited to a DOD range of:
    1. SLA: 0% down to 50%,
    2. Litium 0% down to 90%
  6. HiMotion states 50 km (30 miles) pure EV range. Yet 4.3 KWh calculates out to 15 miles.
  7. No = original tire well is covered or occupied by new battery pack
  8. PiPrius notes. PFC40 charger doubles at the DC-DC converter between packs.
    BMS is a Rudman Reg Mark 3 on every battery. It is fully protected on charge mode and discharge mode.
    The BMS is programmable with a laptop, with no security locks (open source).
  9. Conversion service: done by the PHEV conversion company, at their location.
    Conversion kit: done by the owners in their hometown.
