** May help ELIMINATE OBD-II DiagnosticCodes related to hybrid battery **
**May help turn off your red trianglelight and allow ASSIST and REGEN**
The unique high voltage charging system we offer has been designed to serve themarket of Toyota owners who invested in Hybrid automobiles with the idea thatthe high MPG fuel efficiency of this high mpg hwy rated vehicle (Prius) would save a lot of money in fuel costs overtime. Whether you bought your Toyota new or used, you probably realized as timepassed, or in case of buying a used one that the mpgs started to drop overtime. The car started charging itself more often which loads up the engine anddrags down fuel efficiency.
Our home charging system will allow the end user not only to charge their pack,but also to BALANCE their NiMH battery pack. In most cases this will eliminatethe trouble code, the lack of the cars ability to assist and regenerate powerto the battery pack. It may help keep off CEL lights and may help you to passsmog inspections.What is balancing a pack?
The Maxx Volts Charger system allows you to charge your battery pack. This willallow the charger not only to fill, but also to soak charge the weaker cellswithin the pack. Balancing a pack is bringing all of the individual moduleswithin the same voltage as one another so that their charge and dischargeenergy levels are as close as possible to one another.How do I charge the weaker cells?
Charging at a safe charging current (with our Maxx Volts Charger), until thestronger cells with the highest voltage reach capacity, they will transfer anyadditional energy into a few degrees of heat that is exhausted by ourcoolingfan support, while the weaker, lower voltage cells "catch up"and continue rising in voltage.
Our Maxx Volts charger has a built in voltage and amperage current display. Wewill provide baseline figures for you to look out for and what to expect whenreaching a full charge. This information will be contained in theyear/make/model general use instructions we provide for your particular vehiclewithin your package.How often should I charge the pack?
This will depend on a number of factors including theoverall condition of the pack, the climate and mileage, usage of the car andfactors such as the internal resistance of the cells., Our customers have usedour chargers anywhere from every few months to weekly as a maintenance chargerto keep the pack balanced.
- No guesswork or dangerous poking or prodding of high voltage electricalterminals with a crappy voltmeter to try and figure out the state of yourbattery charge/volts and is accurate up to 300 volts DC!
- Allows you to monitor/calculate the energy going into the pack and determineif you have successfully made the proper hybrid battery connections. Unlikeinferior competitor products, you can actually VERIFY that energy is making itsway to the hybrid battery in real time and real mA measurements so you cancalculate how much you have charged the IMA battery in amp-hours!
-The charger and the car's wiring harness uses professional grade connectionscomplete with locking Tyco connectors!
-Clean installation, safe connectors with twist to lock function prevent pullout and wire strain.
-There are NO high voltage wires hanging out of the charger unit to tangle ortrip over and no inferior 12v rated low quality connectors used to avoid arcand electrocution.
-MAXX VOLTS charger power cables from car to charger are CPC male twist andlock connection. No loose wiring and pet sleeving and a securely and surelylocking connection that won't pull out. Inferior chargers do not use qualityconnections.
