hybridbatterysolutions

Hello to all If anyone needs advice/assistance with their hybrid I am here & happy to help if i can.

It's rare in my experience that corrosion actually causes major problems although of course it can happen' toyota/lexus placed absorbent material under terminals in an effort to absorb leaking electrolyte which is a powerful hydroxide which in turn causes corrosion as its nasty stuff. Although corrosion can be a contributor it is much more common to see failed cell modules. The Lexus Hybrids draw a fair bit more power from the battery packs than Toyota's do which accounts for the shorter warranty period. It is rather strange that warranties in both cases seem to run out more or less exactly at the time most packs are likely to start failing?

Hi Colin My apologies - I quite understand. Richard

Hi there, The Diagnostic tool I use is Toyota Techstream chaps - its definitely the best & allows me to capture live data including cell unit voltages & internal resistances. You need a laptop that is running the Windows XP 32 bit O/S then if you look on ebay you need to buy the mini VCI & software - if you are PC Savvy you wont have any problems getting it all to work, Yes I replaced a cell module & rebalanced & reconditioned the entire pack together with my special system i designed & built myself. I am happy to help Richard
