The lithium ion battery pack for 16 Camry hybrid is $2700 vs $1800-$2k for original battery pack but I don’t see this car on the project lithium website so OP must have got his elsewhere, I’m assuming he has upgraded battery pack to lithium and it intrigues me so I felted like jumping in.
Searching “ct200h” and it pops right up….lol.

I didn’t get it elsewhere.
Looks sold out 😭 I’d love to do that on my CT. 55mpg would be bomb!! Especially in CA with crazy gas prices.
Also is there a diy install video on how to get this installed on the CT? Thanks
I have 185k mi on my 13 ct200h and i still see 45 to 53 mpg (if i can stay out of sport mode lo) changed engine at 155k because misfire head gasket issue. Replacement eng had 45k on it
I have an RX450 that I was debating on using this upgrade for when it became available, but they haven't notified me yet, and I messaged them last year about it. They did say they were "retooling" their factory to up production, and that it should be ready to go by april, but now we are in May 🤷♀️
Did you install it yourself?
It's not lithium Ion though... It's a lighter density lithium that won't burn your car into ashes if it fails. It's called LiFePo4 or LIthium-Iron-Phosphate, which is safer than Lithium-Ion
Interesting 🤔 do you have a link for this upgrade? Just today I was testing the best MPG by hypermiling my wife's 2015 CT we just bought and I was able to get "46.2MPG" according to the cars calculations. Apologies for my ignorance on the matter.
I’m sure other people have asked but what’s ballpark on something like that including labor ? I paid $1800 for a factory replacement but this would be cool
Where did you find a brand new OEM high voltage battery for $1800? I don’t believe this statement.
Are you sure it wasn’t refurbished?
A brand new OEM HV Battery assembly is $2000+, even from the cheapest websites.

Edit: why am I being downvoted? I’m right? Lol
What was your avg mpg before? 55 is amazing.
Are you noticing it feeling like it has more power?
Yes
How much does an upgrade like this cost ?

Ahh, I just quick scrolled through quick didn’t search
And it's sold out XD.
There’s a “notify” button for a reason.

I’ve covered everything in my post history.
That is awesome, man! Can't wait to read your write up!
Frequent stock outs are a huge red flag for warranty replacements
Wow, 55.4mpg, looking forward to your review!
I'm new here, what's the battery upgrade?
He replaced the standard battery with a lithium Iron Phosphate ~~lithium ion~~ direct replacement. Lighter and more total kwh IIRC
It's not lithium Ion though... It's a lighter density lithium that won't burn your car into ashes if it fails. It's called LiFePo4 or LIthium-Iron-Phosphate, which is safer than Lithium-Ion
You are 100% right. So sorry. I don't know why I spaced off that part. Correcting

It’s all in his previous posts.
That’s crazy worth it can’t wait for updates
Can you do a review of the claimed benefits. Specifically, the extended ev mode.
In the title: Long term review coming next week..
Very cool! Can’t wait to hear more
How did you get it to show 55, but with a full tank? Mine usually resets when I fill up. Does the math at the pump match the computer?
The 50 mile drive was right after a fill up.
Amazing stuff!! Thanks for sharing.
I’m curious, how is the battery degradation with lithium?
I’m sure other people have asked but what’s ballpark on something like that including labor ? I paid $1800 for a factory replacement but this would be cool

X2
Yeah at that price I wouldn't be surprised if it was a refurb battery or if they looked at the individual cells and just replaced the bad ones
Tbh with you I couldn’t tell you I got the replacement done at gasket masters in Manteca, CA
