Hi,

I am the first and only one in New Zealand (Auckland based) capable of professionally testing High Voltage Traction Batteries - e.g. Prius /Lexus /Highlander / Camry Hybrid / Estima or any other HV Battery packs which are used in hybrid and electric vehicles. I have developed and build special tools to do that.

I test state of health; balance and remaining capacity of the entire pack on the individual module level in one go.
Toyota Dealership unable to do that kind of test – they will change the faulty pack to a new and quite expensive one (e.g. $4000) – good option if your budget allows that.
Wreckers who sell battery packs are unable to test them (and those could be anything from good to dead – I have tested dozens from wrecks).
People who attempt to fix Prius and other Hybrid Cars would benefit from that invention.
People who buy second hand Prius are asking about condition of the expensive HV Battery. I can help them to test those.
People who sell individual modules from Prius/Camry on Trademe / eBay do not provide test results, rendering their offerings no better than lotto tickets. I can assist them as well.
People deserve to make informed decisions on second hand / rebuild batteries. I fill in that need.

I can also charge depleted NiMH High Voltage Battery Packs (Prius - all generations; Camry; Lexus – all models) with my proprietary HV DC chargers in Auckland.
One of my sophisticated tools has already made its way to USA. And I am regularly getting inquiries from all over the world.

What’s in it for you? Donate my company one or two of those hybrid cars (year 2010 -2015): Lexus / Prius 30 or V/ Prius C / Camry, and get:

 

• Public exposure for your company – “supporting innovative renewable energy technologies, proudly developed and made in New Zealand”;
• Your company name and logo being advertised for 3 years on the donated car (car will be driving in Auckland,) and on my web-site (hosted in New Zealand of course as I support local business);
• Free tests for your HV Batteries (once every 3 months) for 3 years;

What’s in it for me? Hybrid cars are needed for the company for testing purposes: Logging battery performance; capacity loss capturing; capturing other telemetry - geolocation; speed, elevation, mpg. We would be able to share that data with the general public to promote take on hybrids in New Zealand and use that data for the further R&D in the field of hybrid battery testing and re-build. Use second car for live tests of re-build packs.

Fun part (if you have time): Please try to find my web site and post here just two things:

 

• Key word you’ve used (not necessarily from the text above) and how long (seconds) it took you to find it. That will be a good feedback of whether the site does it’s job.
