Hybrid/electric battery training

[@EXOVCDS]

I'm learning lots, thanks!

[@Diagnosedan]

Thanks Thomas!😊👍

[@fragiadakis_]

Have paid a lot for EV seminars and training and this one for free is the most helpful of all. Thank you very much for your work, you make it look very simple, excellent instructor, hundred percent educative and pleasant video. Can't wait for more. Massicve Respect!

[@nicknicu1787]

High value channel free of charge! Thank you professor! 👍

[@Diagnosedan]

100% Free😊👍

[@younesrabhi5731]

This guy explains better than the teachers I had in school .

[@ruinman8722]

I hope you will have a video on all parts of a hybrid not only on the batteries because this kicks ass! So great!

[@Diagnosedan]

Will do!👍

[@Mark_conor]

The moving parts aren’t really that complex but that would be a cool video

[@milanljuba7563]

Hi Dan, great videos keep on going. Just want to add that there is a reason why voltage is exactly 305 V. The reason is that 220V AC RMS Sine voltage has a peak voltage of 305 V DC value so you can desing inverters and permanent magnet motors more easily and system currents are lower for same giving power. 😉👍

[@arielban1]

Wow. As a backyard mechanic, you taught me so much in one video. Thank you

[@kellyspeppers]

Interesting Video. Back in the 80s I worked on aircraft nicad wet cell battery packs. No individual cell monitoring back then. Each cell was connected with stainless steel jumper bars. What fun taking apart all the cell packs and equalizing each cell. I wrapped all my tools in electrical tape and donned heavy rubber gloves for protection.

[@Diagnosedan]

Wow that's interesting!

[@xristosmaglaras7077]

A big THANK YOU...from all DIY mechanics..keep teaching us..God bless you..

[@Diagnosedan]

Thanks for watching!

[@laldogpaul568]

I bought a Mk 1 Prius to tear down and learn about Hybrid systems. Have to say I was over cautios when stripping the batteries down and would never use a metal topped bench. great video as usual.

[@chrisparenti2461]

Loving this series Dan, breaking it down to the simplest parts takes the fear and mystery out a complex system. Keep it up bro!👍🏻😎

[@Diagnosedan]

Exactly! That's what I'm trying to do!

[@gtargeas]

You're the BEST. You may consider to be a technical teacher also.

[@mikea.2348]

Awesome video as always! One thing we do where I work is always disconnect the middle bus bar first to halve the voltage, then do the rest as needed

[@Diagnosedan]

Disconnecting the service plug usually already halves the voltage

[@PaulysAuto]

You're an excellent instructor on so many levels Dan! Thanks for putting together such an amazing series like this!

[@Diagnosedan]

Thanks for watching my video's it's appreciated

[@PaulysAuto]

@@Diagnosedan ofcourse I'm excited about future PEHV videos 🙃👍

[@alexandriabowe]

DiagnoseDan another great video. The educational experience you've provided is a great

[@Diagnosedan]

Thanks Michael

[@viorelsimplu1211]

perfect lesson for all of us ,who want to learn .....thanks a lot Dan

[@paulpickering.]

Another great vid Dan. Love the way you explain things in detail without rushing. Can’t wait to see more. 👊🏻

[@Diagnosedan]

Thanks!

[@alext8828]

Very impressive battery layout and containment.

[@ryanschlegel7022]

as a beginner tech i truly appreciate and do my best to keep up with your video dan thank you sir , also love the father son hangs all the best from ny!

[@emilschw8924]

Very interesting and fascinating. Now I also have an idea of what's things like inside a hybrid car's battery pack.

[@elcheapo5302]

This is a great series, Dan. Very educational. Thank you!

[@Diagnosedan]

😊😉💪👍

[@neilrampersad4291]

Always learning something new from watching your videos, thank you.

[@Diagnosedan]

Thanks Neil!

[@8953147]

I am fully " charged" with more knowledge about Safety around HIGH VOLTS! Thank you sir.

[@Diagnosedan]

😊👍

[@armyvet92]

Dan -- Excellent video !!! There are a lot of questions from the public and other techs on this.

[@Diagnosedan]

Thank you!

[@ayoubbekhouch6039]

That's what we need as a guide to learning things by their perfect rules you re legend.👍👍

[@johnjohannemann1220]

In typical diagnose Dan videos this one referenced excellent learning opportunities. Good job as always. As a sidenote, for those that do not know I would have explained why safety equipment is required when you work on a hybrid. Then again, if you don’t know maybe you should not be working on it.

[@kyhomegarage3430]

Absolutely brilliant presentation my friend. Thank you for your time and effort.👍

[@Diagnosedan]

Thank you Sir😊👍

[@juerbert1]

Thanks for the thorough training, Dan !

[@Diagnosedan]

Your welcome!👍😊

[@darrenblundell7127]

Excellent demonstration once again Dan, thanks again! and great to see your blooper's keeping it real.👍

[@Diagnosedan]

My entire life is a blooper😂😂

[@davefish4965]

brilliant ,i for one never knew the inner workings of these batteries so thank you for the fantastic detailed insight

[@Diagnosedan]

😊👍

[@CubasAutomotive]

What an interesting video! The extent of depth into the battery was brilliant! Excellent video Dan!

[@Diagnosedan]

Thanks Cuba😊👍

[@dicksonrodriguez2238]

Excellent Dan your are the best tech and also Profesor, a PHD !!

[@simonnell9144]

Another spot on video Dan! Very informative.

[@Diagnosedan]

Thanks!

[@kennydoolarchan9515]

Dan, thanks for making complicated things easy to understand. Excellent channel on vehicle diagnostics. Thanks for making this great video, Diagnose Dan, Detective Dan, Dr. Dan, Professor Dan?

[@GRUSSNewton]

I’m attending my first EV course tomorrow and already I feel I have learnt so much with these 2 videos! Fantastic quality videos! Keep up the hard work 👍

[@Diagnosedan]

Good luck!😊

[@michaelaso2300]

I want to learn it too pls how can I locate their company. I’m Michael from Ghana

[@robertgregilovich2229]

Excellent! I believe here in New Jersey batteries are covered for 8 years (an extended period) to help the consumer.

[@Diagnosedan]

That's great!

[@gonzgarr1592]

dan these are great videos love watching your channel learning a lot about cars you are a great teacher thanks again

[@Diagnosedan]

You are welcome!

[@vibrom8854]

ЧУДОВЕ ВІДЕО. ДЯКУЮ за ПРАЦЮ.✌👍

[@marshallbrooksjr.9088]

A simple yet basic explanation of the power distribution arrangement of DC voltage in a hybrid or a totally electric vehicle. Very informative and well explained, Dan. Maybe it should have been stated that No Load must [not] be connected to the battery system before disassembling the bus bars. Wish the battery manufacturers would provide plastic caps or covers for the battery terminals after the connecting metal strips/bus bars were removed. This would protect the technician if he accidentally dropped or mishandled one of the metal covers that are placed on top of the assembly; and keep potential battery terminal short circuits from occurring. As you illustrated, using the proper insulated tools and personal safety equipment are absolutely necessary.

[@fenflyer]

Great Job 👍 professor Kelly 😷

[@a.a.8572]

Great to see new uploads from you. Keep on with the great work! Your channel is amazing!

[@Diagnosedan]

Thanks!👍😊

[@plonkster]

Now you're in my domain! We call the battery computer a BMS, a battery management system. Because lithium cells go high impedance when they fill up, you can't balance cells by just float charging it the last 10% of the way, so one thing the BMS has to do is balance the cells by moving charge from a high cell to a low one. It also monitors individual cell voltages and shuts down if any cell goes too low, which would damage it. Finally it also monitors temperature for safety and determines the state of charge. For cars a slightly higher energy density of NMC is preferred, Nickel manganese cobalt. For stationary applications LiFePO4 is preferred, less risk of fire and longer cycle life.

[@Diagnosedan]

I'll talk about cell ballancing, temperatures in the next video. This car also has a BMS that is in charge of the 10 CMU's

[@plonkster]

@@Diagnosedan It's always interesting to see how car makers implement this. I know BYD (Chinese battery maker) also have an architecture like that, where you have individual (rack-mount) modules talk to a BMU, and the BMU consolidates the information and presents it as a unified battery to the rest of the system. The neatest system I've seen is from Sony (now Murata), also with multiple 1.2kwh modules that talk to a single controller, and you can parallel controllers into the hundreds of kwh levels. So quite established tech...

[@jamesbruno5896]

Informative series Dan!

[@Diagnosedan]

Thanks James!

[@danman9017]

wow expert in teaching and as a tech, very good thanks

[@Diagnosedan]

Thanks Dan👍

[@feddykoh6940]

after watching this video.. I decide to connect as many battery in series and tide the both end together.. Dan was my teacher

[@Diagnosedan]

😂😂😂👍💪

[@Mark_conor]

Seriously if these mechanics wanna survive the future they should start buying books and watching channels like this good stuff

[@wysetech2000]

Very well done, Dan. I learned a lot.

[@leeregan8017]

Hey Dan Yet again another great video and you explain things so well and are a real enjoyment to watch, thanks again for all of your hard work 👍👍👍👍👍 Cheers Lee

[@Diagnosedan]

Thanks Lee!

[@kasapis6]

Great information thanks. I was always told only try and use one hand when using a meter with high volts but thanks for the great video.

[@Diagnosedan]

When you are using insulated gloves, it doesn't really matter. Using one hand is just an extra safety in case the voltage penetrates the glove somehow. But it's not a bad thing, respect the rules in your country

[@Autofixpals]

looking forward to the next video! Fantastic work.

[@Diagnosedan]

Thanks!

Thank you Dan you are very professional. Great video Dan thanks.

[@Diagnosedan]

Your welcome Mario!😊

[@mikebotkin2008]

👍🏼 Excellent video, especially the safety! As an aircraft mechanic, we were taught never to place batteries (lead-acid types), onto metal surfaces for maintenance or concrete (the latter for long-term storage). Perhaps a piece of wood across your metal lift, or whatever the batteries were placed on during this video, would be safer in case of tip-over?

[@ozzstars_cars]

Keep those vids coming Dan! Really enjoying this series. Even I was breathing heavy watching it. haha

[@Diagnosedan]

😂😂👍💪

Real neat video bud. Cant wait for the next one.

[@Diagnosedan]

Coming!

[@alext9067]

Skil used to make a 1/4" drive power wrench that ran on 2 Ii-Ion batteries in series. It had a rachet and the power drive, which was of modest strength. You need one. All this 10 mm nut and bolt removal and replacement is too much. See if you can find one. You'll like it. PS. mine stopped working. I need to fix or replace it. Good video.

[@Diagnosedan]

Thanks!

[@petermeic1430]

Lovin' the series, Dan. Looking forward to the next :)

[@Diagnosedan]

Coming!

[@billrimmer5596]

These cars will b coming into our shops with worn out batteries. Installing rebuilt modules is going to b profitable. The worn out ones sell for cheap. And gasoline is going thru the roof in the states. Dan is keeping us ahead if the curve!!

[@Diagnosedan]

💪💪💪Thanks Bill

[@muhammadnaeemnaeem1260]

I am learning lot's thanks ☺️ sir god bless you

[@dubsydubs5234]

I get a real charge out of these videos. I'm positive I'll learn something but I fear some comments might be negative. Resting any tool on a battery is a bad habit regardless of anything. I'm still a fan tho 😀.

[@Diagnosedan]

I'm only human😂

[@ivaneu1]
