Separate names with a comma.
I think an important question is “Why do you think you need to have it done?”
Take a few moments to check out The Car Care Nut on YouTube. He is former Toyota Technician (just opened his own shop this summer) and addresses...
“Boiling” in this context isn’t actually what is happening. The term is commonly used for the chemical reaction that is occurring in each cell...
I charged a bank of 12 vdc solar batteries at 15.5 volts using a very smart charging system, but it is NOT something I would do on a Prius.
The fact that any of us does something doesn’t make that action correct. Besides, the charging system on a 17 year old Dodge Dakota is...
I’m sorry, but without the subsequent recharge, adding water does in fact dilute the battery acid, thereby reducing specific gravity. Pure water...
If a battery is specified for a specific Full SOC by the manufacturer and your charger thinks it needs to be higher then your “smart charger” is...
It can’t hurt to ask (and push a little) as the design basis for the car should include hot summer days and nights.
AMAZING!! Two devices that require power to operate used no power to communicate (“turning SKS OFF from the fob had no effect on the 12v battery...
Every battery is manufactured to specific standards by the manufacturer and “Full SOC” is actually specified by the manufacturer (not by some...
Without reading your warranty it would be hard to tell, but, at least now I finally have an answer to why these things are happening to the gen 4...
My ‘22 beeps once when I put it in reverse. I can’t remember if I set it that way under the customization settings or used Carista. Speaking of...
This is all part of the hybrid system and should still be covered under warranty (probably even at least one of those battery replacements).
The 12 volt battery is maintained by the hybrid battery through the inverter’s converter to converter (hi voltage dc to low voltage dc). Assuming...
In section 1-4 it mentions it, but I couldn’t find any place else with a quick look and it doesn’t mention the increase in volume (at least I...
The system is designed to maintain a full charge status of ~12.5 volts, charging at a maximum ~14.1 volts. If the 12 volt battery cannot hold...
Good points :)
Perhaps the best advice is not to drive to aggressively, using a light touch on the accelerator and brake (make use of the B mode for breaking a...
CCA IS relevant to battery health, though. Couple that with high internal resistance and what energy is left in the battery drops quickly when...
Significantly louder in reverse.
