I just replaced mine recently, it was in the 9 volt range after sitting overnight which is completely dead for a 12 volt lead-acid battery. It is...
Yup, just installed one of the direct-replacement Optimas in my Prius a week ago. Easy job.
80 amps is the maximum, too. There is nothing analogous to an alternator on the Prius on the 12 volt system so there isn't any surge capacity....
The DC-DC converter can supply 80 amps @ 12 volts, continuous.
When I disconnected my orange plug when I added a tap for my UPS, I found I had to press in the smaller connector with my finger after swinging...
After the factory LRR tires wore out I bought high-performance tires (as in, very sticky). Only went down a few mpg, from 54 to 52 in the summer,...

That sounds like a problem that needs to be fixed, I've never experienced that.
Just got the Optima for my wife's car last week but haven't put it in yet (will tomorrow). I sourced it from Learning Aid which is recommended by...
I agree on this one issue, but when I compare the ergonimics/user interface of my newer Suburban with my 08 Prius (and even my 03 Sienna), Toyota...
