Fair enough on the LiFePO4 - I'm well aware of what they are and I have a bunch of these. Sorry for not stating properly. All I'm saying is that...
Well - it's more that the chemistry is LiOn and this car was not designed, or certified by Toyota, for that. Like I mentioned before, I've been...
So a couple of weeks ago I put my 2011 in for an inspection. They said the rear brakes needed replacement. I went ahead and replaced the rotors as...
For several reasons I guess. Mainly, the car wasn't designed for lithium packs. If Toyota certified one for this car, I wouldn't hesitate to buy...
Just FYI - it's not a "ChrisFix" battery. There are several companies now that sell this cylindrical solution. ChrisFix is just a guy on YouTube...
After he installed the battery he did a test before putting the rest of the car back together, the battery was at about 25% charge. He did say he...
I looked into those a lot - they aren't for me. Nice project though.
There is a YouTube creator, ChrisFix, that works on a variety of things on cars. Basically, he tries to make things simple for repairs and such....
The video is an ECU reset, which rests basically everything (for this person it was steering).
"Recent 12V battery replacement." Welcome to the low 40s mpg club after the battery replacement. Try resetting the ECU. I gained 7-9mpg from...
Keep an eye on your MPG after replacing that battery. I'm curious if it drops like others have 7-12mpg.

Went on another road trip, near all highway miles. 53.3 mpg. Before the ECU reset the highway trip was 47.5.
Paul - if you don't mind me asking. What mpg did you get before replacing it? What mpg after? Did you buy brand new or reconditioned? Thanks!...
138k or so, and yes - hope to never doing that again.
Already did all that, didn't change anything. I think my low mpg at this point is due to the weak hybrid battery. Brakes are all fine, tires are...
Next tank (~48miles left to empty) in. 39.1MPG @ 20MPH average. Everything was mostly the same, commute/heat/ac with the exception of the car...
I doubt you'll need a lawyer. Just find a good repair place if you can. If not - your insurance company will recommend one wherever you are (ours...
I wish I could get in the 50s! 2011 Prius, current tank I'm at 41MPG - which is better than the 33 mpg I was getting before I reset the ECU. Not...
Did you replace the 12v battery before the drop in mpg?
