Separate names with a comma.
Buy and install this, and you don’t need to worry about checking it. It is accurate to 0.01 V and stores and graphs the every-two-minute voltage...
California and Elon Musk would be on the same side on EVs—not so much for Trump. Nevertheless, Trump would have to promote EVs as well if he wants...
But Trump has no authority over California. Moreover, California, being the land of the automobiles, drives the automotive industry.
Non-EVs and HEVs might get extremely hard-to-find and expensive in California in less than two years. Toyota: California-led EV mandates...
That is correct. There will be a significant but very brief current draw (perhaps 50 A or more and for about a second) from the 12-V battery...
First of all, since your 12-V-battery SOC neared zero, it resulted in sulfation and permanent capacity loss. This is irreversible. Keep that in...
Yes, even if you eliminated all the third-party accessories, the native parasitic drain of the car is several-% SOC everyday. Since the...
That should not be hard to find out what it is doing using the battery monitor. Nevertheless, I doubt that was the problem. Even if it was causing...
And the 2025 model should be announced next week or so, which will be identical to the 2024 model.
Resting as in at least for 16 hours? That would be 87.5–105% SOC. You said that your car hardly every charged the battery, and others have been...
It is the same problem with a flooded-cell battery. An AGM battery will still cycle more times under the same charging conditions. The Gen 4/Gen...
No, a 12.20-V resting voltage (after at least 16 hours of rest) is only a 62% SOC for a flooded-cell battery, which is not normal or healthy. It...
If it was that low, I would replace it with the Uplus AGM battery at this point. Batteries with sulfation will have artificially high voltages...
Yeah, the battery-management system does not charge the 12-V battery at gun point, except once every 20 driving hours. LOL
The flooded-cell Toyota TrueStart H4 sounds good. Do you know why your OEM GS Yuasa failed so early? You can post a table instead as well....
The problem is not AGM vs. flooded-cell, but the fact that the battery-management system likes to keep the voltage at 12.89 V at most times....
So, the SOC is still falling, now, below 85%. The battery-management system is deliberately not charging the battery. I am guessing the target SOC...
Correct. I’ll do that. The lowest I got so far was 11.72 V, I think. The car is not aggressive in charging at all.
Gen 5 SE PHEV is 96 lb heavier than Gen 4 Limited PHEV, and Gen 4 Limited PHEV could be a little more aerodynamic than Gen 5 SE PHEV as well....
And the lack of the one-way clutch in Gen 5 PHEV is probably resulting in a lower fuel efficiency and BEV range, as MG1 is freewheeling and losing...
