Attila, Gents, How feasible would it be to make a black box to talk to the Battery ECU and tell it all is well, when in fact the HV battery is not even in a...
Hmmmm, I think you might need to have your own battecu... And that is definitely not easy. You have to cut off your "old" BATTECU from the network and post the...

I'm sure they don't misunderstand now. Thanks for the great communication effort. I've heard more than once that folks don't think that the battery ECU is for...
Yes, charging multiple parallel packs "could" be a problem. If you never attempted to fully charge them you "Might" be about to simply parallel them as with...
Ryan, Much of what you say is true, especially about what happens if a pack gets over charged. But do note that the -dV/DT (negative voltage change with time)...
My goal is to have the ability to charge them separately as well as in parallel when needed via the on board relays. Separately allows periodic individual...
Hi Sam ... Good question. Not from here, anyway. There is a gauge called "scangauge" which people speak well of: http://www.scangauge.com/ .. a number of...
Can some of the ScanGauge users comment on what they use it for? I didn't get one because it doesn't show big battery amps in and out like my miniscanner did....
Hi Al ... I don't know if we have any users here or not. You may be lucky, or you may do better on a big Group like Prius-2G... Regards Jerry Are you a Prius...

I got a ScanGauge for Christmas to use with my 2005 Prius. I just came back from a trip from Blacksburg VA to Atlanta GA to Hilton Head SC and back and used it...

where can I purchase a mark 3 for my 2k5 Prius? I went to the web site listed on your post. All the say is that I need the mark lll, but it is not listed for...
I contacted the designer of the ScanGauge and he said he was not going to add any of the special Toyota codes into his system. Since the miniscanner III is...

I know nothing about the technical side of this. I'm on the list because I would love, and I mean capital L love, to get a miniscanner. Would I pay $200 for...

Hello All, I picked up a 2004 Prius last week. I've worked on EVs and HEV since 1994 and have a MSEE (also have 7 years in uProcessor/VLSI design). When I...
Hi Richard! Have you downloaded and picked apart Atilla's code? In case you haven't put the two together, Atilla's the one that wrote the scanner you found on...
Is it possible to contact Atilla? I have so many ideas for features that could be added! Does anyone know if it is possible (although potentially dangerous) to...
