Could a HV Battery kill you?

[@vibrom8854]

ЧУДОВЕ ВІДЕО. ДЯКУЮ за ПРАЦЮ.

[@davidhilling6191]

One of the best presentations I have viewed in my 40 years as an Automotive Trainer

[@themechanic6117]

Tons of work went into this . Thank you. I could see this series being used in a classroom environment.

[@Diagnosedan]

It was alot of work but i hope it helps!

[@parochial2356]

Yes, a lot of work. I'd imagine maybe 2-3 days of work with shooting & editing, not including the animations & narration? Dan, care to comment?

[@emilschw8924]

Guys like Dan and South Main Auto really are good teachers for the rest of us bumbling amateurs :)

[@gasgas2689]

@@parochial2356 Not only the shooting and editing, that was nothing compared to the preparation of the battery pack, and even longer I imagine was the time taken to learn all this stuff. I reckon the manufacturers must take 4 weeks to train technicians with all this knowledge that Dan gives in the video.

[@gregorybraylen343]

I know Im randomly asking but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the login password. I would love any assistance you can give me.

[@alexlongpre4527]

Yup! Bring on as many videos as you can, it's the future of our trade and I learned more in these three videos that at the manufacturer training. You make it so clear, simple and concise. Thanks again for your excellent work Dan.

[@Diagnosedan]

Thank you Alex!

[@chrischenusa6323]

I can't understand HATERS who put thumbs down to Dan videos, Are they jealous of this Guy? i personally always give a thumbs up when the vid starts, and I never regretted it.

[@jakewrxdrift]

Thanks for spending so much time on your youtube videos. Every once in a while learn something new.

[@Diagnosedan]

Thanks Jacob

[@billrimmer5596]

His loss was our gain. Thank for superb video. The teaching was matchless!! I think subscribers hitting a critical mass.

[@Diagnosedan]

Thanks Bill!

[@flok1971]

Ik wil alles leren Danny! Ik heb een inhaalslag te maken t.o.v. de jongere generatie. Ik stam nog af van de LTS in 1988. Ik hou mij wel enigszins op de hoogte, maar zonder werkgever in de autobranche , loop ik voortdurend achter de feiten aan. Daarom ben ik jouw zo dankbaar voor deze filmpjes.. Dank je wel Danny!

[@TheWaelabo02]

thank you so much , I am willing to do ASE L3 test . Your work really very helpful

[@NewStore-ti2md]

Very good explanation which is structured .No single word irrelevant to the lesson. Clear English pronunciation and even asian's can understand. All the very best. From Sri Lanka

[@PaulysAuto]

Damn Dan, your videos are so damn good! I cannot imagine how much time you put into making these, but it's probably a lot and super exhausting. Fascinating stuff Dan, love this educational stuff you're doing...VERY HELPFUL! Thanks for putting this together for us and I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your content! I hope you continued success and wish you all the best my friend!

[@Diagnosedan]

That's a great comment, thanks buddy!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@PaulysAuto]

@@Diagnosedan you bet, when someone is doing great things it is something that should be recognized. I just wanted to let you know that you have many people out here watching you and every now and then it's nice to know that all your time and effort in putting this together is noticed! That is why I hope you enjoy great success for it, IMHO nothing is more nobler than a man who has a genuine desire to help others learn, except for laying down ones life for another; which in a way you do with sacrificing your personal time...so thanks for that Dan!

[@jamiemurphy6644]

Dan unreal the 3 videos on this ev battery unit...the ultimate teacher ...super teacher as always and great explaining through electude..diagnose dan fixed it again..our brains that is 😎😎

[@Diagnosedan]

😂😂Thanks!

[@jamiemurphy6644]

We must get a video of sun mcs 2000 sl..

[@jesusbenito5389]

It is amazing how you explain things to make them simple. It is the best video I have ever seen about how a hybrid vehicle works!!! You are a great professor and should be giving lesson at university!!

[@sajanaabeywardana9725]

Best series ever! Hope you'll do these kind of informative videos again and again. Good Luck

[@scotthayward1017]

Great Videos Dan . The more PHEV vehicles you diagnose the more interest I have . Hope there is more to come on inverters and other components linked to these systems . 😃

[@Adrian-uc2kp]

Because I'm @ home with a broken foot I started binge watching your video's and in between also other diagnostic channels. Danny, you produce by far the best video's! Very clear explanations, sound & light always perfect, a lot of thought put into it! Great job! Respect! I have learned so much, what a pity there are only 42 videos :-)

[@Diagnosedan]

Wow thanks and i hope you get well soon!👍

[@andrewhallett-patterson9778]

Thank you Dan for this fantastic but way too short series. Your knowledge and clear descriptions make a complex subject understandable. I hope there are more in the future.👍👍🇦🇺

[@Diagnosedan]

No problem thanks for watching my video's it's appreciated

[@ohenenorb]

I have been servicing high voltage power inverter battery banks , and now have upgrade to HEV traction battery and auxiliary. Your series have been very good lessons to me . I will like to receive any and all updates on your tutorials .

[@gasgas2689]

That is brilliant, Dan. Apart from the education on how it works, it was confirmation that I do not want a hybrid car! I already had an electric Leaf for two years and I don't want another electric car either!

[@nbrowser]

This is better EV education than what they provided in a paid school course I took when I was obtaining my Red Seal Automotive Service Technician certification here in Canada. Dan, thank you for your hard work on this AND answering the title question very quickly into the video.

[@islandhopperstuart]

Brilliant series of videos. My first exposure to PHEV functionality and most illuminating. Thank you!

[@diesalweasel]

from watching all 3 videos i feel like a fully qualified ev tech . i want to learn more on this subject please from you . many thanks for your time and information my friend

[@darylnicklen3685]

Thanks Dan for all your work to educate us on High Voltage Automotive batteries Being 60 years old and only using petrol powered cars I found the series enlightening and never realized how many fail safe systems are actually fitted to EV's

[@Diagnosedan]

Thanks for watching Daryl

[@zbynekm2918]

Another great video from Dan. I'm familiar with Toyota Hybrid systems, this video however gave me an inside of another Japanese manufacturer. Much appreciated your time and effort to create this videos.

[@nomebear]

This is a great video for someone who's willing to give it a try. Where I live a Toyota Prius with a dead battery can be had for cheap. Sometimes it's just one or two cells that are weak, or there might be corroded contacts. For someone doing doing their own repairs parts are readily available and cheap.

[@a.a.8572]

Hello Dan! Glad to see that you are back with a new video.

[@Diagnosedan]

Thanks!

[@bigmac965]

Very educational! I never thought that one of these batteries would have it's own air conditioning! Thanks, Dan!

[@michaelgalvin1024]

Thank you and yes I would absolutely enjoy more training on BEVs, PHEVs, HEVs and any electronics and electrical that's related. Great channel.

[@Diagnosedan]

No problem!

[@yasseresmandar1633]

This explanation is the best I have seen about the HV Battery, You have my thanks and respect

Thank you Yasser

[@tubeDude48]

This series was worth watching...Thanks Dan! 👍

[@markobezjak6952]

Thank you Dan for your time and thank you to show us this system a little bit deeper.

The old days😜

[@madds6678]

Great video Dan, nice to be able to see the contractors, interlock & cell monitors up close. Really found the cell balancing part informative & thanks for stating not to rely on the contactors definitely being open as I stated in a previous post ( safety first) . Look forward to more EV videos but a few real world engine diagnostics videos in between would be appreciated . Keep up the great work 👍 Madds.

[@Diagnosedan]

Sure no problem!

[@peterd6592]

Fascinating, eye-opening and great info.! Please do more about hybrid and battery stuffs. Tks Dan.

[@ronaldmahoney1283]

Thank you so much Dan for your very informative and discriptive videos of the electric car batteries! I can't tell you how much I've learned through your personnel dialogue that no one else seems to teach as clearly as you! I feel like I took a class with just me and you! Thanks again! Im looking for more future videos of anything that you teach!

[@xsnrgy05]

Wow, I just came across this post, great stuff as always Dan, so clear and informative.

😊👍

[@Stan23AMan]

Thank you Dan for filming and editing the videos. This is the best automotive repair KZbin channel I ever come across, and I'm seriously considering buying diagnostic equipment from NL because my KTS570 becomes a paperweight as Bosch provides no after sales service.

[@mikechiodetti4482]

For training on a Prius, the instructor separated our group into two groups. Before Lunch, one group made safe and removed the battery pack from the vehicle. The other group made safe and removed the Inverter Assembly from the same vehicle. The instructor removed the battery covers and removed one of the cells. Then he removed the Inverter cover. He then explained what went on inside. Then we put the covers back on, reinstalled the Inverter and Battery pack. We then verified the vehicle started, ran, and no codes were present. After lunch, the groups reversed their positions on the second vehicle, removing the battery pack and inverter assembly. Again battery covers and inverter cover were removed, parts identified, reassembled, reinstalled, vehicle started, and no codes. Time in the shop on two vehicles including lunch hour, 6 hours. Time in class room, 1 hour. MY KIND OF TRAINING!

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

An excellent conclusion to an awesome series. Thanks Dan for sharing all of this information! 👍👍👍

You deserve like before watching Really high informative videos Love what you are doing

[@declanpboles]

Dan, another excellent video on the phev battery. I have a Mitsubishi Outlander phev and battery degregration is an issue. I would love to see you do a full demo on balancing that battery pack, this would help us PHEV users greatly as Mitsubishi garages seem confused on how to balance these units ,from what I am reading from the forums. Thank you.

[@iantribe1166]

Thanks Dan really appreciate all the hard work you put into this I am a mobile mechanic in the UK for the biggest breakdown company and we don't get enough insight into these systems and being able to understand a small amount is very informative thank you plus all the other videos you have done are brilliant 👍🏻

[@chromzhohn3611]

Yeah, more about ev and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles please. Love the methodology and scientific approach to diagnostics. You are the best Dan. Thank you!

[@Diagnosedan]

Thank you very much

[@davidmccrudden3197]

Great video, excellent delivery giving a comprehensive and full understanding of this system. One question though Dan, could the metal undertray not have been repaired and the system refitted saving the cost of a whole new HV battery pack?

[@malgailany]

Interesting to see this level of details of the electric car components. I wish you can show more subsystems of electric vehicles, as these becoming popular on the streets nowadays. Great animations, thanks.

[@petermeic1430]

Thanks, Dan! Really great video. There isn't much for technician level EV training here and I don't see them often in my bays, so your videos are an excellent resource for me.

Great series Dan. Would love to see more videos on high voltage vehicles! 👍

[@Diagnosedan]

Sure, no problem👍

[@usethenoodle]

Nice series Dan. I have always wondered about the battery systems on the highbred vehicles. I understand they cost something like $20,000 to replace and that their life span is only around 8-10 years. It seems the wrecking yards will fill up fast with these expensive vehicles as their expensive batteries go bad. Frankly, I just don't see the economy in it. Not to mention all the small sensors and such that can fail. I'm just not behind it yet. To buy an expensive vehicle only to toss it in the dump 8-10 years later seems like a terrible idea. My last car was a 1999 Ford Crown Victoria which I had for 20 years. It was still immaculate and running great when I sold it recently. It cost a fraction of what an Outlander costs and will run another 20 years if taken care of. I still feel internal combustion is the most economic idea to come along. The electrics just aren't there yet.

[@razobaghd1696]

Your explanations are right to the point! We greatly appreciated it, and God bless you.

[@Diagnosedan]

Thanks!

[@-robster-robster-]

I agree. really unselfish sharing of knowledge that is very rare , usually you get guys that get really good at thier trade and hold back the information so they have the technical edge or a sure income type of repeat job , its an ego and self preservation / job security trait that can be understood e.g say you do a niche job not known to many then you go on youtube for fame and spill all the information letting everyone in on the job you have taken months and years to learn and make a viable business, then over night everyone is fixing thier own stuff and make yourself obsolete

[@TheKeenMechanic]

At minute 15:59 to 16:01 the way you pointed where the High voltage cables are, reminded me of the good old times when I was single lol :)

[@srinivasj9009]

Thanks Dan.. Very well Explained.. I would like to see more videos from you. Especially related to Inverters and Motors..

[@BLARNEYBLARNEY]

Excellent series Dan, very informative. Noticed you were doing your disassembly on a conductive diamond plate bench. For safety’s sake, you need to work on a non- conductive surface. While the voltage is low, shorting a battery or even a single cell on that surface might be “exciting” and also possibly component destructive. Keep up the great work.

[@andycontreras76]

I always like how you explain things and it makes sense. THANK YOU

[@koffibanan3099]

Fantastically informative video. Thanks for taking the time Dan! Really appreciated. I think the title could be better though, this is an in depth look at the different components of a HV battery, not just about whether or not 300V could kill you :) All the best!

[@myfastcars]

Shows the need for more underbody armor on EV vehicles.. What was the end result for the old damaged battery pack assy?? Was it a turn in for a core item? If so, what was a core worth? If not, its a great source for Solar battery storage. How much is a new replacement battery pack? FANTASTIC training video.. Excellent instructor skills.
