Separate names with a comma.
The problem is that using gasoline is vastly more wasteful than using even coal-generated electricity. Transmission losses range from about 5% to...
I don't know the actual numbers or whether it show on a scan gauge, but the PIP can indeed store more regenerated power then the regular Prius. If...
Actually, if they are charging they probably aren't RF-active.
That's great. All we have to do is wait for Toyota to modify the inverter slightly and offer it here.
I'd rather use the hydro-power from less than a mile away than burn gasoline from thousands of miles away. I also want to be able to drive...
Are the phones on or off? If on, then it seems likely that cell phones aren't a problem!
Yes, it's just too expensive and complex to add pack capacity. Although really, that isn't even needed: if we want to trade EV range for heat in...
Key fob batteries should be replaced annually. It doesn't have to be the same month every year, but it should be close to that. They will last...
Battery state of charge (SOC) tables assume no load. The purpose of measuring voltage is to determine state of charge, not capacity, which is much...
The only problem I see with the socket-voltmeter is that the accessory socket is only live with the car in Accessory or On or Ready mode, so it...
I have both a .75 amp Battery Tender Jr. and a Diehard 2 amp charger/maintainer, which I got for my Leaf. IIRC, they both use the same hardwire...
I've never heard of it, and never experienced it with the 2010 we had. Sounds nasty. Hopefully it's "all bark and no bite"?
You can use a tender, and you can connect it either place, Just don't use the negative battery terminal - use a metal ground elsewhere. Thanks for...
Where are the jumper terminals in the PIP, again? I don't want to have to wade through the owner's Bible to find the info. It's kind of ironic...
I doubt it. Federal and state rebates are under budget pressures, and the rebate from Toyota was essentially because they under-advertised the...
You can do it on other cars with just a 9 volt battery - the kind smoke alarms use. I don't know for a fact that you can do that with the Prius,...
Assuming the PIP has the "jump start terminals" in the engine compartment that I've seen mentioned, you can check the accessory battery health by...
The rest voltage should be no lower than 12.3 volts. If it's that or lower the battery is starved for power, and if it's below 12.5 it's still...
Just one full discharge will substantially shorten the life of a lead-acid battery.
Does it matter which half of the top grille gets blocked?
