Hybrid Car Battery in my 5ver

Here's a link to the add.

My big gripe with NiMH is they lose so much charge over the course of a month.

Weren't some of you Tinkerers talking a while back about just this thing? Used elec car batteries?

Or is it that such a system would require too much tinkering for the average RVer?

I was pretty psyched about having a huge lithium battery under the bed :).

So I've been looking at adding solar to my 2010 Jayco and ran across a Craigslist add for used Hybrid car batteries. You suppose these would work as house batteries in my rig?

no.

Can you pasted the information from the advert?

From Wikipedia for Toyota Prius:
"The traction battery is a sealed 38-module nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery pack providing 273.6 volts, 6.5 A·h capacity and weighing 53.3 kg (118 lb)."

Not a viable solution for an RV.

Be very careful. Sorta like having a grizzly as a watchdog. The suckers can turn on you.

Are they those new kind of battery that need special charging profiles? If so, then not likely to be what you want.
