IMO, the OEM NiMH pack is the best option at the moment.

Thank you for sharing your research on their products. I regret buying my pack from NexCell. When I heard the news Jack was releasing this Signal Soother, I immediately became suspicious of his entire product design. It took less than 5 minutes of the Signal Soother in my car to tell it was completely unsafe. I am going to look into getting a refund for this entire pack.

Sadly, you are not alone. Unfortunately, I suspect many NexCell customers will ultimately have a similar bad experience.

Pack designer here, agreed with the conclusions, this is an unsafe design.

Keep up the good work i bought a nexcel battery for my prius. I love competition! Are you going to use lithium iron?

The 'LiBSU' product I'm designing is intended for use with NMC cells, which has considerably higher energy density. However, it will technically work with LFP cells with firmware changes, although I don't intend to support this.

@@doppelhub thank you for the reply I was just hoping you can help the people out that already have the nexcell junk and make them a bit safer

looking forward to seeing what you come up with. regardless of safety considerations it seems like it would obviously be better to completely replace the prius BMS with one that can actually measure the SOC of the lithium battery.

I agree. The first rule for safe lithium battery management design is to know each individual cell voltage. Releasing a lithium product without that essential capability is wild... but to then release a subsequent product that masks that shortcoming even more is astonishing!
