Plug in an OBD adapter, open an App on their phone and follow the onscreen step by step instructions.
Cycle discharging will work on NiCd and NiMH battery chemistries. LiIon does not benefit from cycle discharging. However, you can extend the life of LiIon by moderating the max/min cell voltages, operating/storage temperatures, discharge rate (aggressive driving), and slowing the pack recharge rate.The Bamboo Online wrote:Strugglerzinc wrote:Rovin wrote:i not a hybrid owner but i seeing an ad on fb for "HYBRID BATTERY CONDITIONING SPECIAL $600" ... so jes curious on what exactly they doing for only 600 ?

Bit more involved than that. Basic reconditioning Involves buying charging and discharging equipment that connects directly to the pack and drains all the modules very low, almost to zero volts and charges it to the max voltage very slowly. This is done a few times in different voltage levels each time. Takes a few days to complete. I usually do this on the weekends when I don’t need my car. The process allows the battery modules to balance and increase storage capacity.

In regards to batteries in phones and hybrids/EVs; don't they already provide provisions for you to not fully charge or discharge your battery. Isn't this done by not telling you the exact state of charge. So 100% on your dash or display might be 90% actual charge and 0% on your display might be 10% actual charge.
Not to say it isn't good to keep it in the middle but in the interest of saving both user and hardware from damage the figures are reported with this offset

You're describing the $1500+ method. The $400-$600 fellas are Dr Prius users. I imagine the joy of your Aqua returning a 100% Like new condition result is worth the $600.

Highway?

You telling me.......dont want to dive into that vehicle upgrade expense but with high gas price, low gas quality and increased traffic a switch may be necessaryDizzy28 wrote:Double digits would be a holy grail for me. Only around Nov last year I switched the display from litres per 100kms to Kms/L.
This morning my 21kms commute was done at 8.1kms/l. This is EMR and then CRH into PoS.
Generally seem to get 7.5 - 8kms/l most days. Touched 11-12kms/l during the Christmas period when mornings were clearer.
I could see a Hybrid being a possibility for me in the future. That Niro 19kms/l would knock me out !!

Bt50 and Np300 is what I use for work so daily Freeport to pos, or Freeport to San do and everywhere in between, back roads, grande, everything combined….I do restaurant service
Fortuner is ritual Freeport to aranguez traffic peak hours commute, highway
Forester is the baby for occasional market trips and weekend drives
