Have a good day, Mrs. G.

I missed MrsG's 25th birthday.

Wish I could have been there to perform for her.

 

[Sylvain]

Ah crap, she's gone.

 

[Birds Away]

Thoughtfulness.

Timing.

Man I would but I am on a deadline with my current project.

So, I've been using this Hobby RC charger/conditioner on Hybrid batteries. It works great so far, just slow. About 4 hours per battery. I thought about buying one of those 4 port chargers, but I don't want to spend $200 on it.

Have you got that thing running (engine) yet??

It starts off the hybrid battery, I got it to crank over, but it died. Batteries were just too low. The intake manifold had a 1/4 inch of oil in it, cleaned that out, reseated injectors and all. It should be good to go after these batteries charge up.

It just takes so long because you can only charge them @ 2 amps, and you have to wait for all 6 internal cells to balance.

That's what I hear. I'll learn more when I get there I suppose. I'll make sure to be dressed in throw-away work clothes.

Oil in the intake is not a good sign.

With the Prius it's due to using 4 quarts vs the max 3.7 quarts. Everything I've read indicates it's a common issue and throws a sensor 1/2 inch above where the oil will pool.
