Separate names with a comma.
My recommendation is to go back to the place that installed your HV battery and get them to double check everything. I suspect there is a fault...
Wow! That really ****POPPED**** I drove my 2005 Prius for about 1 week after the first P0A80 appeared, resetting DTC codes many times. Then I...
That Snopes article actually contains a valid scientific explanation for the "setting the battery on a concrete floor ruins it." 70-100 years ago...
I'd love to find out where this urban legend about concrete and lead-acid batteries came from? How did it get started? And when? -EB
I am very pleased with the 4 used/tested gen2 modules I purchased 3 weeks ago from eBay user "bradstuff" Prius Battery Module Tested Generation...
I have a mini VCI and an old laptop. I'll be using it soon and will post the results that it gives for my DIY-repaired 2005 HV battery. My car...
Yes, that's right. I set up a custom Torque gauge panel to show me the voltage from each module (1-14). But I almost immediately realized that...
+1 for this post from redbarron55: I repaired my 2005 Prius HV battery DIY-style. I am using Torque, configured to show: "HVB Min V" ---...
I propose these criteria for "rebuilt" HV battery success: No battery DTC codes occurred after battery replacement MPG increased to a "normal"...
+++ on your suggestions, rebarron55. Thanks! I recently purchased a Torque/OBD2-USB dongle and also a mini-VCI. I haven't used them yet, but I...
Thanks Britprius! So there's some hope for Eddy2014's project... There was one failed module in my 2005 HV battery. One cell in it is a...
So it's abundantly clear from redbarron55's posts that rebuilt HV batteries from Prius Rebuilders Falcon Hybrid Solutions are less than perfect....
How would experienced forum members answer Eddy's question? Some of the literature I've read on NiMH cells suggests that allowing a cell to...
I'd trade in my 2005 Prius for a new one too, except that my wife and I need to finish paying off our other car (2013 Nissan Juke) before we can...
I have a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering. But I've never taught it. I don't have enough patience to do that. -EB
I agree with Texas: If you can possibly find a way to afford it, get the NEW battery from Toyota. The $ 2,600 quote from your local repair shop...
I didn't put all the trim back in place yet. I fully understand that more modules might fail within the next few months. I've equipped myself...
I suppose I should have contacted Toyota, but I doubt they would extend my warranty since it's only 8 years in Illinois. CA and some other states...
After reading every HV battery thread on priuschat I decided to tear mine apart and replace individual modules myself. I have a 2005 Prius with...
That confirms what I was thinking: Bad modules may have a very rapid voltage rise when they are charged. The most likely cause of this is that...
