I have a 2007 Prius that I drove into a tree 2 weeks after I replaced the (decent) traction battery with a 6 year old factory battery.Other than keeping the newer battery are there any other parts I should consider keeping as backups for the 2007 I just got to replace it?
Welcome to PriusChatt!! If space isn't an issue, keep them all. FYI : you're moderated until you've posted 5 times.
If OEM, the exhaust system catalytic converters are worth a small fortune (currently $1200+ on ebay) 12v battery? MFD AC vents if undamaged HID headlights? Cargo Cover and mat Door mirrors if in good condition and the same color. These are very easy to remove.
Yes as it was mentioned above take out the catalytic converter. This is a $1000 to $1600 used part that will sell in less than a week.
So it looks like I have a 2007 parts car. Low speed front end collision. Took out radiator. the 12v is dead. The HV is one I want to hang on to. Is there a way for me to charge/maintain HV battery short of me replacing radiator and starting every couple of weeks.
