Thanks for watching. I had no issues with CV axles at all. I have heard that if the spacer is taller than 2" it could cause an issue. What are the symptoms indicating the axles will not take the angle? Did you check alignment after installation? My first thought would be something in the alignment needs to be adjusted.

@GreggFesto Did you adjust your lower wish bones when you fitted the spaces to your car?

@@GreggFesto I adjusted mine all the way out.I thought this was correct.... Maybe not then.?

Yes, I did adjust the control arms to correct the camber. I do not believe that they were all the way out, I got it close to my eye and then took it to alignment shop. One thing you might think about getting are adjustable ball joints. The shop that did my alignment installed some of these for me, they said it would be a good next upgrade. I am thinking that camber adjustment could be an issue for you. Perhaps the angle of the CV axle combined with odd spindle angle is causing noise in the CV joint?

Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. Much appreciated.

Thanks for watching. Not exactly sure how long we let the air out to do this but there is enough air lost that we needed to top the tires off after the procedure.

Thank you for watching. I have heard recently about this warning but not sure why this is the case. Have they changed something in the charger since I purchased mine? My units were purchased several years apart and seem to work exactly the same. I have been using CQ3 for over 6 years with fantastic results. I have the Red CQ3 running on a battery right now as I type. The only issues I have ever had with these chargers is with the small cooling fan inside which starts to make bearing noise. The fan is cheap and easy to replace.

Thank you for watching. Did the parking light turn on as in the video? If yes, then perhaps the TPMS sensor in wheel has a dead battery so it will not report to the truck that the pressure is changing? I suggest trying a different wheel to see if the same thing happens. If still no go, then perhaps a trip to the tire shop is needed to get a diagnosis.

Thank you for watching. I appreciate you writing such a nice response for the videos. God bless you too.

Thank you for watching. A hybrid battery pack that is declining in health can indeed be one of the reasons for MPG decrease. This is because the battery has less capacity so the car will use gas engine more to compensate.

Thank you very much for the feedback. You are appreciated.

Thank you for watching. I agree with you, wearing gloves to change Halogen is requirement. The oil from skin will make them fail quickly.

Thanks for watching. These LC Plus series bulbs are still working perfectly. I have had good experience with all of the LASFIT bulbs I purchased.

@@GreggFesto glad to hear u had great experience with them. That’s what we run with our Toyota and Scion models. Such as LD plus switchbacks, LA plus, LC plus, and LCair. And it’s incredible.

Thanks for watching. I used stainless steel TIG wire but it can be any metal that conducts. If you ordered new bus bars then you can use them along with your old ones to get the job done. Bailing wire works well too.

Thanks for watching. Yes the truck would not move. Replaced this valve body and back in action again. He has been driving everyday since.

Thank you for watching. I have not used Blue before. I have a Silver one and a Red one both of which have done very well for me. I have not had any problems with them other than needing to replace some cooling fans due to noisy bearings. Contact EV-Peak support and let them know about your charger, maybe you can get a replacement.

@@GreggFesto Thank you. I said blue instead of silver but mean the same. Do both units have same operating parameters? I assume both are equal in programming. Great videos!

Thank you for watching. The pack will only be as strong as the lowest value battery. I use 5000mah as my cutoff point. I reject anything that does not make this capacity.

That's good to know thanks for the video and the feedback, I ended up buying 5 replacement packs after using your method same dis/charger ,I told the company one of the 5 modules is bad only 4500mah discharge and they had me tell them how i did the test they told me I was never supposed to Charge them to 7500mah and they say 6500 mah is the max charge on these so denied my warranty so I'm out 37$ no big deal just wanted your opinion​ the one was only 4500 mah discharge other ones were over 5k mah@@GreggFesto

Thank you for your feedback. You are not actually charging the battery to 7500mah in a standard way but rather setting the cutoff at 7500mah when using delta peak charging. Did you end up buying another battery or did you install the 4500mah one?

Thanks for watching. I use Discharge value of 5000mah as my minimum.

@@GreggFesto so if they don’t reach the 5,000mah discharged there not good

I was talking about discharge mili amp

I use 5000mah discharge value as my cut-off point.

Thank you for watching. The FULL message is the same as END message. It means that your charger went through all of the cycles you set up. The button you want to use to view the Discharge/Charge values is the one on fart left. If you have red CQ3 this button is MODE/ESC if you have the silver CQ3 this button is BATT/TYPE. I have another video on channel that shows the process using both chargers at same time. Please note that if you press any button besides this far left one after running the cycles then you will need to redo the cycles to get results. Let me know how your battery comes out after refurbishing.

@@GreggFesto UPDATE: I returned the charger and ordered another one from another vendor on Amazon. The new one works as it should. At the end of a cycle(s) I press the MODE/ESC Button and it shows the Results Screen - just like on your videos. I bet it's a sorftware/firmware issue, but I couldn't find how to update it with my first unit - these chargers don't have a USB Port, it's probably not possible. I wanted to post an update here in case it happened someone else. Thanks!

Thank you for watching. I left input power low cut-off at 10.0V. If you are using AC power this setting will not make any difference.

Thank you for watching. I have not worked on that model of battery, I do not know settings for it. Maybe try going to a chat group for that car if you can find one and see if they can be of help. If you find the specs and do the refurbish, please post on RUclips to help others.

Thanks for watching and subscribing. I hope this refurbish gives you six or more years of service like your last one did.

Thank you for watching. Yes I use the CQ3 charger for this process still. I have a red one and a silver one, they both work well and have refurbished many battery packs. There was no such warning when I purchased mine.

I just want to know how long will it take to do the whole battery since I only bought one of this exact machine and it only does 4 at a time. I tested each battery and they come back at 100% of battery left in them with good voltage and low resistance

Thank you for watching. It usually takes me about 3 weeks to complete a pack refurbishment.

Thanks for watching. The battery in this video has been in the car for 3 years now. The MPG is starting to go down. I am not sure if it is because of the older batteries or because the car is now driven only about 25 miles per week. I plan on getting the car back to the garage in the next few months, removing the pack, and running it through the process again. I plan to post this on youtube so check back in a bit.

Thank you for watching. I did the front windows then the rear windows. The rears are tricky so take your time.

Thank you for watching. I have not seen message TIME before. It is possible that it is the same as WAIT message which will appear if the battery voltage is too low on initial discharge cycle. If I am correct you should be able to leave it connected for a while and the message will go away once the charger enters first charge cycle. You can get better answer you can contact EV-Peak customer service. When you verify what the TIME message means could you please write back in and let us know?

Thanks I reset the channel to factory reset and problem went away.

Thank you for watching. You should be just fine to reassemble and drive down the road.

Thank you for watching. It is not uncommon for there to be some deviation in the batteries. Balancing gets them close but they will start to change once in the car and being used anyway so it does not matter if they are not exactly the same.

@@GreggFesto thanks for the fast response. Amazing video too Gregg

@@GreggFesto The last question I have is about is on the installation of the modules new module. My battery modules voltage fluctuate between 7.67V (the minimal and it's 1 module) to the max 7.82v which is the new module and its just that one at that voltage) average voltage is 7.76v and my resistance is the lowest 4.88m the average is 4.90 and the max 5.43 (which is the new module). I've seen that before re-installation a lot of mechanics do the step of discharge and recharge on every single module before reinstalling the battery back on. I don't have the machine right now to recharge and discharge The modules. Would this cause a problem or suggest just ordering the machine and this extra step.

The charger is best way to determine status of each battery module. The capacity of the battery is the most important factor. If you have gone through the trouble to remove the pack and take it apart then it is a step away from determining health. You can get a single channel charger to save some money, it will just take 4x longer. If you are not wanting to purchase charger at all then you could assemble the pack and put it back in car. Use inexpensive bluetooth odb2 code reader and dr prius app to test the battery while driving and then get results on health.
