2X APC-35-350 peak at 200V. If you're going to use them, you need to add 2 more.

 

Ah. The HCH2 talk mixed in with the FEH talk threw me off. Just to be clear, can I use just 1 HLG-120H-C350A with a 120v source to charge the Ford Escape Hybrid? Some of the other power supplies listed along this thread have been on back order for a while, but he HLG-120H-C350A is in stock right now on Mouser. It seems easier to return the APC-35-350 and just use that instead if I can.

 

HLG-120H-C350A should work fine with 90-305VAC input and 127-431VDC output at 0.35A. Current can be decreased via the dimmer, but there's no reason to do that.

 

It works buddy. I charged mine using 1 HLG-120H-C350A because all the other parts were on backorder.

 

Alright. Thanks for the info guys. I am going to attempt this project this weekend if the weather is nice. I am going to try to open the battery without fully removing it from the car. We'll see how this goes. I plan to document the process along the way.

 

Are you actually in a situation where the vehicle will not start due to HV battery low voltage?

 

Yes Sir. My 2009 FEH has been immobile since July 4th last year. The car was a fleet vehicle at < 70,000 miles that I bought in April 2019. Hybrid battery as well as 12v battery were replaced sometime in Fall 2018. They replaced it with a Dorman battery. I towed it to Ford and they wanted me to buy an brand name battery for $9,000 before they would try to diagnose it. Instead I took it back home and I used Forscan to get a few codes of the battery. The battery voltage would read as low as 190v at when I turned the key, and slowly charge up to ~260v as I left the car powered on.

Here are the codes I read:
PCM DTC P1A10
BCM DTC P0A27-60
BCM DTC P0AE1-60
BCM DTC P0A1F-60

I appreciate the wealth of information you've shared on this forum. I have called everyone in town that I think could've helped me, I even called the doorman hotline labeled on the battery. I have checked everything I could in the car that doesn't involve opening the battery up. I think this is the next step before I consider scrapping the car.

 

260V is WAY too low to start the vehicle. Step 1 is definitely to charge it and see what's next.

 

Thank god i am reading good results from this post! I was about to buy me a Prolong Battery charger (very expensive) to charge my Hybrid battery. Thanks for the valuable info!

 

Hello sir,
I am planning to recharge my HV battery pack with the same HLG-120H-C350A. I also purchase 2x D1NK60-5070 diode. Would like to confirm if 2 diodes is needed to charge or one is enough?
Thanks in advance!
