I agree for all Lead Acids that are not used daily. Look for a 'Tender' with the antisulfation function. Those definitely help with the life of a...
Again, as stated above, what about 'Safety Certification'? It could more than 'fry'. Think flying parts.... This is clearly not recognized as a...
Never heard this claim before. I'd like to read about it. Do you have a reference?
Driving at those speeds on the highway, I doubt the battery can add that much to the fuel economy. It's mostly aero drag and mini van vs Prius???...
Especially in cold weather, a 12V battery that is so discharged it will not boot up a Prius has already been damaged and its life expectancy has...
Yes, Li-ion batteries will have capacity loss with time and use. This is normal. For quality EV's with proper TMS for the pack it's usually...
So as long as it operates as a Hybrid it's not a deal breaker? The BEV's I know of have warranty trigger points, such as 30 or 40% reduction in...
1. Yep, strange, that's why TMS is there, and also for charging performance in cold or hot conditions. Look at Leaf pack warranty replacements...
Functions that warm or cool the HV battery pack are TMS. No matter how convoluted a manufacturer makes it. But carry on.(y) A black PP in Tucson...
What are the results you might get, other than saving a buck-and-a-half during the entire winter months? EV Li-ion packs have a TMS for a reason....
Don't get it.... toyo apologist? :whistle: Seriously, the 12V just goes dead? And most likely will need to be replaced? And that's not a big deal?
Obviously, this is a design flaw and should NOT be tolerated. Are those dozens of people getting brand new 12V batteries replaced under warranty?...
Say what? Why on earth would that be? Say it's 0° and me and Ted Cruz can't take it anymore and jet off to the Caribbean and leave the car plugged...
I'd be concerned with buying a relatively rare lead acid battery that has sat unloved on the shelf for (?) 6 months - 1 year without a trickle....
I'm a big proponent of doing routine Caliper Slider Pin cleaning and lubing. In fact Tesla has added that to their maintenance schedule. Last few...
Yep, seasonal wheel set changes. I need to put the winter wheels on my two EV's, DIY like you! I'm sorry, but the point I'm trying to make is...
I'm sure you have your exact number for TCO! I bought a lease return for a song at the right time. Running the numbers with brand new cars are...
Always try to calculate Total Cost of Ownership when comparing cars, as you know... DCFC usage would totally depend on how often you hit the road....
You make some good points. Such as in the early days of DCFC some owners were given a free charging card by the manufacturer. So some would...
Yep, TL. Short answer for me: ~$0.125 / kWh. I don't need any finer granularity than that.(y)
