2013 - Rav4EV Pack replacement


As internal resistances quickly increased, and my range decreased, it was time to make a decision. Sell the trusty Rav4EV and buy something new and shiny... or put more money into the Rav and keep driving it. Considering that nothing on the market today can really replace this car in function, I dedied to keep the Rav running. And that meant a whole new pack. 95,000 and Eleven years on the original pack (that I ignornatly abused apparently).

Recieved back home on Monday, March 25, 2013.


Detailed pack shots after replacement, cleaning and sealing.

Here's the wiring of the "black box" that allows direction connection to every module without opening the pack.
 

 

 

All done!

And on the transporter headed for home:
