Today I conducted another test drive on the same current in the Prius in 2000. Previously, she was driving down the country roads with low speed. This time I went to the streets of Olsztyn, the daughter was doing a movie, but unfortunately something went wrong in the cell.
So the description:
We first went to my village to Olsztyn at the Shell station in Dajtki waited for a full charge the battery, or until the engine stops.
Then take out the EFI fuse. We get into the car, hit the streets Sielska quite acceptable acceleration, pretty quiet. We drive at a maximum speed 34 mph (55kph), somehow I can not go faster, but it's probably more limiting than my computer (current spared, but I have to repeat the test). Towards Olsztyn is a little downhill, so I enclose neutral and the engine was not working, zero power consumption.
Unfortunately, the indicators in the cockpit a little stupid in this mode, just do not see the discharge of the battery still shows full. Driving lever position indicator does not work and you need to calculate its position, the third from the top to Drive ;) Flashing a fuel gauge.
I drove 3km and turned around at the roundabout at the western station, now a little back up the hill. He goes smoothly, the city at 30mph (50kph) is very good, just need more batteries onto smth :) At about 6 km I start to feel the weakening of the battery (6.5 Ah factory 273V) we turn to a gas station to the left, waiting to clear the way, I'm afraid because some poor acceleration and waiting longer than normal, tail light for me ...
The gas station I decided to insert the fuse and see if it returns to the hybrid mode before the computer will disable the car (this was before, stop without warning). When you insert the fuse, unfortunately I get an error, drawing a car with a bang and check engine. The internal combustion engine stops working, but the car can travel in EV trynie further. Several plug, when the square, and finally stops and goes no further. I deleted 12V battery disconnect errors on the weight of the moment and everything is back to normal. The battery indicator appears on the minimum stroke, which is usually not available in normal mode. Battery has been charged with spalinowca time to return home. Everything works. I did not check whether the error would be possible to disable the laptop via OBDII as usual minor bugs off.
Conclusions:
Urban Driving this generation Prius in EV mode is the most feasible and efficient.
Probably too much has been discharged battery at re-engaging the EFI fuse and there was an error.
Computer Prius really protects the battery against excessive discharge, which is why only 3mil (6km) , but because it was the hill and ride at ease with a 1-2 mil (2-3km) is estimated that in reality it was a range of about 1-2mil (2-3km).
Probably my transformation goes in such solutions, the first hybrid mode access to the suburbs (about 5km) and then switch to the batteries and drive additional pure EV mode to discharge the battery. Then back to hybrid (you only need to find a way to return to that state without errors)
Further testing will be carried out to check the sharp acceleration and power consumption.
Checking the speed on the straight and current measurement.
Check the current regeneration during braking.
Determination of maximum and minimum voltage when discharging
