Hybrid Vehicle (HV) Battery Pack
The Prius V features a high voltage Hybrid Vehicle (HV) battery pack
that contains sealed Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery modules.
HV Battery Pack
•
The HV battery assembly is enclosed in a metal case and is rigidly mounted
to the cross member in the cargo area behind the rear seat. The metal case
is isolated from high voltage and concealed by a carpeted panel in the cabin
area.
•
The HV battery pack consists of 28 low voltage (7.2 Volt) NiMH battery
modules connected in series to produce approximately 201.6 Volts. Each
NiMH battery module is non-spillable and in a sealed case.
•
The electrolyte used in the NiMH battery module is an alkaline mixture of
potassium and sodium hydroxide. The electrolyte is absorbed into the
battery cell plates and will not normally leak, even in a collision.
