My work in progress. Here's a photo of the positive terminal for the battery, discussed earlier in this thread. Note the distortion of the soft...

Thanks, everyone. I am expecting my various parts, cleaning brushes, etc. to arrive tomorrow. As I recall the things that surround and clamp to...
One other thought. I have a strong background in computers/programming, and have a lot of computers lying around. I now own two 2005 Priuses. I...
Thanks, these are great suggestions. I do have a clamp-on meter and I will do the tests you describe. In terms of my progress, here's where I'm...
Many thanks to everyone for the detailed suggestions and input. I agree this should be fixable, or at least diagnosable. If nothing else, I would...
That's actually why I bought the Exide battery: it has a much longer warranty. In the past I've just bought new batteries out of expediency, and...
My wife drives the Prius quite regularly for her daily work, commuting ~70 miles on a good day and up to 100 miles when she has to work at the...
Thank you. As far as cleaning all of the terminals, ground cable connections, etc: do you recommend anything beyond scrubbing them with something...

I'll try that, thank you. If all else fails: can somebody suggest a 12V battery disconnect switch that works well with the ergonomics and...
hmmmmmmmmm. you may be getting at something, here. I permanently attached terminal "loops" to the 12V battery so that I could easily hook up the...
Verdict: keyless entry system was disabled. I don't think this was the culprit.
Thanks. First I bought an Optima 8171-767-FFP (DS46B24R) YellowTop Prius Battery and then for the next two switch-outs I bought two of the Exide...
I tried that after the last battery died, though I am very tall and it is possible my knee has inadvertently toggled the SKS button in the...
Thanks. The 12V lasts for months in some cases before dying. This has led me to speculate that what might be happening is that we are occasionally...
Trying to figure out whether to fix or scrap our 2005 Prius with 193,000 miles and a mysterious 12V battery problem. What would you do in my...
