What is a
MAXX VOLTS
charging system and why to I need it?
The unique high voltage charging system we offer has been designed to serve the market of Toyota owners who invested in Hybrid automobiles with the idea that the high MPG fuel efficiency of this high mpg hwy rated vehicle
would save a lot of money in fuel costs over time. Whether you bought your Toyota new or used, you probably realized as time passed, or in case of buying a used one that the mpgs started to drop over time. The car started charging itself more often which loads up the gasoline engine and drags down fuel efficiency.
The NiMH battery packs in the Toyota Prius consist of 168 individual prismatic battery cells in series. Through the battery pack, electricity travels end to end + to - until it runs through each of the 168 nickel metal hydride battery cells where the total voltage ends up in the 201.6-245 volts range depending on the state of charge of the pack and its overall battery health, year/make/model. Now the Toyota system does a fairly good job managing the charging and usage of this electricity but it the pack as a whole unit but does not have the capability to manage each individual of the 168 battery cells individually. Over time these cells can become out of sync with one another with slight voltage and internal resistance differences. This will reduce the range of energy within the battery  pack that can be utilized by the vehicle.
What our charging system will do is give the end user the ability to charge their hybrid battery pack at home or the office via the standard USA 110v AC plug you would have in your home. This ability to override the IMA system telling the vehicle when to start and stop charging the battery pack will allow you to fully charge the pack without the battery control module computer playing referee.
How will this home charging of the IMA battery pack help me?
Our home charging system will allow the end user not only to charge their pack, but also to BALANCE their NiMH Honda battery pack. In most cases this will eliminate the IMA light, the lack of the cars ability to assist and regenerate power to the battery pack. It may help keep off IMA lights and may help you to pass smog inspections.
What is balancing a pack?
The Maxx Volts Charger system allows you to charge your battery pack. This will allow the charger not only to fill, but also to soak charge the weaker cells within the pack. Balancing a pack is bringing all of the 168 individual cells within the same voltage as the next so that their charge and discharge energy levels are as close as possible to one another.
How do I charge the weaker cells?
Charging at a safe charging current (with our Maxx Volts Charger), until the stronger cells with the highest voltage reach capacity, they will transfer any additional energy into a few degrees of heat that is exhausted by our  battery cooling fan support, while the weaker, lower voltage cells "catch  up" and continue rising in voltage.
What trouble codes may the MAXX VOLTS CHARGER help eliminate?
P1447/P1449/P1600 diagnostic trouble codes from the OBD II scan port are the typical codes that our system may help to eliminate with MAXX VOLTS charging system. Each battery has a different history and condition however and you must to start with a battery that is salvageable and not beyond repair in order for the process to be effective.
How will I know when my battery is charged?
Our Maxx Volts charger has a built in voltage and amperage current display unlike other knockoffs. We will provide baseline figures for you to look out for and outline what to expect when reaching a full charge. This information will be contained in the year/make/model general use instructions we provide for your particular vehicle within your package.
How often should I charge the pack?
This will depend on a number of factors including the overall condition of the pack, the climate and mileage, usage of the car and factors such as the internal resistance of the cells., Our customers have used our chargers anywhere from every few months to weekly as a maintenance charger  to keep the pack balanced.
Why wouldn’t  I  just buy a new battery from the dealer instead of the MAXX VOLTS charger?
Dealers typically do not sell new hybrid batteries for NiMH packs. For an average of about 00.00, they will sell you a “refurbished unit” and gladly take your existing pack to refurbish and sell to someone else. In the end you will be out the money spent and still have a used/refurb battery pack that usually continue to fail in a short amount of time. So for a fraction of that cost you can have a personalized MAXX VOLTS charger to command at your will to take a charge, balance the high end of your battery pack and potentially have a good working car again without the check engine lights and with improved MPG's.
There are more than one charger on the market, how is yours different from the others?
There are various chargers in the marketplace, but none as feature rich, available for purchase to the general public and proudly built in the USA clearly demonstrating our quality, attention to detail and how well thought out our systems are.  Just like you, we actually own and drive these every day. We currently own 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 Honda Civic Hybrids, 2001, 2003 Honda Insights, 2005 Honda Accord Hybrid, 2003, 2004, 2005 Honda Civic Hybrids, 2008, 2006 Toyota Prius at this time. So what this means is that every unit built has been thoroughly FIT and TESTED through quality control we can apply while fitting these systems to an actual car and not a "jig".
There are a number of inferior knockoff "chargers" around using cheap chinese Meanwell power supplies or worse, however we have thoroughly tested those and they did not meet our stringent quality standards. An overview the features and benefits of our system below will allow you to decide who is building a quality engineered and well thought out unit at a reasonable price.
Some Specifications on our EL-1 Maxx Volts Charger:
v
Built in DIGITAL LED VOLTMETER!
- No guesswork or dangerous poking or prodding of high voltage electrical terminals with a crappy voltmeter to try and figure out the state of your battery charge/volts and is accurate up to 300 volts DC!
v
Built in DIGITAL CURRENT AMPERAGE METER
!
- Allows you to monitor/calculate the energy going into the pack and determine if you have successfully made the proper IMA+ and IMA- connections. Unlike inferior competitor products, you can actually VERIFY that energy is making its way to the IMA battery in real time and real mA measurements so you can calculate how much you have charged the IMA battery in amp-hours!
v
Modular construction with CPC locking connectors.
-The charger and the car's wiring harness uses professional grade connections complete with locking connectors!
-Clean installation, safe connectors with twist to lock function prevent pull out and wire strain.
-There are NO high voltage wires hanging out of the charger unit to tangle or trip over and no inferior 12v rated low quality connectors used to avoid arc and electrocution.
v
Material construction quality and engineering
-Charger high voltage purpose use cables are rated for 600V and not some inferior and potentially dangerous 12v rated automotive/computer wire like others.
-SOOW water and oil resistant commercial grade rubber insulated 600v certified wiring. Inferior knockoffs use thin pet sleeving that is supposed to protect high voltage? NO!
-Maxx Volts chargers use 100%, 18 gauge copper strand wiring for ALL connections compared to inferior and less efficient 22ga 12v rated wiring used in knock off chargers.
- Professional tool crimped tin coated brass male and female pins for a commercial duty quality connections. Inferior knockoffs use 12v rated 4 pin cheap radioshack connector,  pet sleeve and computer wires. Have some dignity, don't buy junk.
-Connections are SOLDERED, custom printed with wire connection markings, heatshrunk and many connections potted for electrical connection protection. Inferior knockoff chargers use 12v rated automotive crimps. Don't sell yourself short. Look at our attached pics for our connections!
-MAXX VOLTS charger power cables from car to charger are CPC male twist and lock connection. No loose wiring and pet sleeving and a securely and surely locking connection that won't pull out. Inferior chargers do not use quality connections.
-Strain relief plug ends protects wires from bending, wearing out and pulling out of harness cable.
-Brand new power supply cases designed for ventilation and cooling.
-Slow blow arc quenching high voltage fuse at battery connection unlike knock of chargers that do not even use a fuse at the IMA battery! BEWARE! DANGER!
-Internal power supply fuse
-built in quiet non-led cooling fan
Proprietary hybrid fan control system custom engineered PCB circuit BUILT-IN!
-Due to the superior design, construction our custom pcb is built internally into our charging system so that you DO NOT HAVE TO CUT ANY WIRES! Unlike inferior knock off chargers which use a PCB to hack into the vehicles factory wiring and cause irreversible damage to the stock IMA fan wiring, our proprietary patent pending design allows our minimally invasive wiring to be installed without hacking up or cutting your factory wiring.
Fastest and easiest installation of any IMA battery grid charging system
-Due to the superior design, construction and components our IMA battery grid charging system is the fastest and easiest system to install in the marketplace!
DOUBLE THE WARRANTY OF THE COMPETITION’S KNOCK OFF CHARGER!
-Due to the superior design, construction and components our system employs in its patent pending designs, we are are able to offer 2 x the warranty coverage of other knock off “chargers”.
Significant improvements have been obtained with nearly every NiMH Honda Hybrid battery we have tested and reconditioned but YMMV. You must have a recoverable hybrid battery in order to fully benefit from any grid charger’s use.
The majority of our customers also report significant improvements when using our charger.  Most clients have a check engine light  before buying a our charger.  With regular grid charging, the check engine light can normally be eliminated and battery life significantly extended.     Some have extended their battery life well over a year or more by using the grid charger.
Unfortunately, in any one specific case, it is not possible to say for sure how much the charger will help.  The amount of improvement  depends on the condition of your existing battery pack itself. If the cause of the problem is a major physical failure such and internal short or high
internal resistance, the charger cannot help, those failed battery sticks must be replaced. If the problem is the more common nickel metal hydride battery pack imbalance, then our charger is designed to alleviate those issues.
We make no guarantees that this product or any external charging system will fix your IMA battery, however more often than not, the charging and balancing of a hybrid battery will alleviate many common symptoms of an out of balance hybrid battery.
Under the worst case scenario if you had to replace your hybrid battery, our  grid charger is still an imperative maintenance tool as it can prevent the new hybrid pack from prematurely deteriorating and becoming imbalanced.   Those who have chosen to replace their hybrid battery have benefited from the use of our systems to virtually eliminate the imbalance problem helps contribute to check engine lights and premature battery failures.
