Hi folks, i have a couple of prius cells that i was given from a lexsus hybrid. Anyone have any pointers on the correct method of charging and balancing them? From my research i have found.
-Dont charge them in parallel because they're nimh.
-Charge them until you detect a increase in delta T.
-you dont need to balance them because of there charging process?
-safest/ easiest way to charge them is to only charge it to 90% capacity (does this then require balancing as the batterys wont be able to self balance)?
I would appreciate some insight as it seems these batterys are quite common. Is there a solution allready avalible? I dont really want to design a pcb for it, especially withe the current state of shipping.
I plan on a 36v 5s1p configuration if its of any help.
