Thanks for the math. I have not gotten around to doing that yet. I had just looked at the watt-hours per pound which was favorable. I inquired at a local...
Eric, It is the top part of the Dynasty that makes for the tight fit. Knew it was going to be tight but didn't anticipate it being as tight as it was. Your...
... Looks like you'll need to raise the voltage from (IIRC) 14.1 volts per module to about 14.6 volts per module - the spec page at your link says 14.4 - 14.8....
I dis-assembled a Prius battery pack. What I understand about the design I like. The cells are bolted to a common baseplate. There are series copper jumpers...
The absolute most important thing with these Prius modules is cooling them. Just 1 amp during charge can smoke them without cooling. If you look at the side...
David: Thanks for the advise. I got a person at Georgia Tech to do what you suggested, bypassing the short and replacing the resistor, and the AH counter is...
Stephen: Glad I could help and that you were able to get your AH meter working. My opinion, next to the original charger issues which are well documented in...

I'm having a problem with my 97 Solectria Force sedan just "up and quitting" every so often. I'll put my foot all the way down on the accelerator and it will...
I had a go/no go problem that was traced to an intermittant connection under the dash. The intermittant connector is a plactic type, and there were 3 installed...
Thanks, Bill - can you tell me where under the dash? ... From: Dorothy Swann To: solectria_ev@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2007 6:05 PM Subject:...
I uploaded a description of the steps I took to replace some defective IDC electrical connectors. They are located in the file section "Elecrical connecdtor...
Interesting, I just sold the guy the car a couple months ago for $8000....not a bad car, but 12k is a bit steep....could use new batteries and a little TLC for...

This information was derived from experience driving several hundred miles in a vehicle with 5 Prius packs in parallel for the pack. There were 11 packs total...
I have thought many times about what the benefits and negatives might be if the Force was a nominal 168 volt vehicle instead of a 156V. On the plus sideI come...
Hello Mike I found adding any weight to the Force really had a huge negative impact. The performance really falls off with any extra weight. If you never...
Has anyone tested the DB-25 connector that goes into the controller? What I mean is to insert a breakout male/female connector in the cable. and test for...
Greings: Three+ years ago I made a box that plugs into the DB-25 to imitate the FWD/REV, economy knob?and Throttle of the car.? I disconnected the drive belt...
Hello , I bought a 1994 Solectria Geo Metro don't know what's wrong with it yet. Just trying to find resources and your experiences and advice. More to come...
Thanks Gary. this is precisely the problem that I am addressing-"No response when I press the accelerator". I had hoped to isolate the problem to the...

Bill (& others), I fixed the three wires under the dash, which I was pretty sure was the problem given that, when the car stopped moving, I could jiggle one of...
Ray, I can't think of a reason why you wouldn't want to disconnect power during a repair. Cheap insurance and safety step against expensive mistakes. Except if...
I agree about monitoring the pack voltage. The behavior-crawling-sounds like low pack voltage. I have thought about drilling a couple of well placed holes in...
Thanks for the reply! While it's done this (shut down except able to crawl) thing after uphill driving it's happened after mostly downhill driving as well....
There is a thermal switch that monitors the temperature of the motor. I don't know whether it is a normally-open or normally-closed device. But if it's...
Bill, Are you talking about the chargers ability to keep the car from moving? I don't think I would actually call it a relay. On the 97 there is a black and...
