Yeah that didn't look too bad. Was still worthwhile cleaning it though. :) JDonalds, you probably have a similar amount of traction battery...
I'd say your 12V battery is fine. When I replaced my 12V battery a few years ago it only measured 12.3 to 12.4 volts no load (in car measured)...
It's definitely worth checking it though. It will have something of a "threshold" type behavior, as in it will reach a point where it will...
Unfortunately you can't tell a lot from the initial battery state, because even a brand new battery will go low like that if the Prius is left...
Hi Tommerdoo. High 30's to low 40's might be about all you'll get in those circumstances. The prius works best on descents where there is a...
Me thinks that your traction battery will "throw in the towel" long before your engine ever gives out. :)
That's pretty sad that it happened just after the warranty expired, especially since you apparently noticed the battery starting to have problems...
I do exactly the same here Cadenza, half a bottle of the MoS2 treatment each oil change on my cars too. :) I know that a lot of oil additives are...
That's a super nice UOA there Cadenza. The wear metals almost look like a VOA. :D BTW. What was the moly additive that you used? I'm guessing it...
Yes, I think that op is just making an assumption about the warranty here. I'm pretty sure it's only a one year warranty on new (replacement)...
Well perhaps this is a positive. If it is due to spilt water like Patrick suggested then it may become more intermittent (and hopefully go away...
Yep, it's true unfortunately. I think they probably made some mistake when jump starting it (brushed the terminals with the wrong polarity, or...
I was sure that I had heard of tinting places draining the 12V battery many times on this forum. A quick search turned up these three (and...
Very unlikely to cause any problems in my opinion. :) BTW. What brand oil was it? It sounds like it might be "Rotella T6" or similar.
Hi pkwhisker. I've only read this entire thread just now, so sorry about being late with this info. But just to let you know what probably...
With 5k mile oil change intervals that's probably feasible for 99.9% of owners during the engine warranty period (3 yr). For higher mileage Prius...
Yes, you're definitely on the money with the "if at all" part. I notice that he said in his blog: Pretty certain that a much better answer would...
I agree with Okinawa. I don't see it as such a big deal. You need to check your tires for air from time to time. You need to stop and pump in...
Hi Priusonamountain. It's only really significant if the HV battery regularly tops out to the full 8 (green) bars when you're descending. In this...
As Jim said, this is probably preferable to the opposite situation of having the uphill to traverse when the engine is cold. When you leave your...
