From Problematic to Perfect: A Customer Success Story with the Maxx Volts Grid Charger
At Maxx Volts, we are passionate about providing high-quality, effective solutions for hybrid vehicle owners. We love hearing from our customers, and today we want to share a fantastic story from Jerry Hines, a 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid owner who used our HV-EL1 40 Module Grid Charger to bring a problematic battery back to life.
The Challenge: A Severely Imbalanced Hybrid Battery
Jerry came to us with a hybrid battery that was in rough shape. The battery, which he had sourced from another supplier, was showing significant signs of imbalance between its cell blocks. A diagnostic scan revealed a shocking voltage spread, with some blocks reading as high as 19.8V and one struggling at a mere 9.4V. This massive 10.4V difference is a clear indicator of a battery in distress, leading to poor performance, reduced fuel economy, and the dreaded dashboard warning lights.
Here is a look at the battery's condition before using the Maxx Volts grid charger:

The Solution: The Maxx Volts HV-EL1 40 Module Grid Charger
Facing this challenge, Jerry installed our HV-EL1 40 Module Grid Charger. This powerful tool is designed to individually charge and balance the modules within the hybrid battery pack, restoring them to their optimal voltage level. The process is simple, safe, and can be done at home without needing to remove the battery from the vehicle.
The Result: A Perfectly Balanced and Healthy Battery
After running the grid charger, the results were nothing short of remarkable. A follow-up diagnostic scan showed a completely transformed battery. The voltage spread across the blocks was reduced from a massive 10.4V to a tiny 0.3V, with all blocks now reading between 21.4V and 21.7V. This is the sign of a healthy, well-balanced battery, ready to deliver the performance and efficiency the vehicle was designed for.
Check out the incredible transformation for yourself:
