The OP had swapped a known good battery (presumably charged to a reasonable level since it came out of another car which was in active service)...
Do not do this! Listening through rigid objects is only safe if the thing that is being listened to is not suddenly going to kick that rigid...
So, in "engine start mode" the 12V charger could supply up to 50A for a few seconds and that got the car started, but a 12V battery will still not...
OP took out the hatch storage compartments and noise still there. Sticking with the "inside the car" theme... Was the spare out too? Give the...
I am really confused by the second part of that statement. What model 12V charger is that? Sending 50 amps at "12V" into a 45Ah S46B24R battery...
Was the fuel gauge still blinking when the tank was full to the neck? Once the car has been driven 100 miles or so return to a station where you...
That amount of power is similar to that of one of the old incandescent bulb nightlights. How hot it will be in a circuit depends on the area that...
Not a good idea. If I have to use Dr. Prius or Techstream (or any similar diagnostic program) while the car is moving my wife drives and I use...
Many chargers will not put any voltage on their clamps unless they have already determined that the battery to which they are attached has the...
The higher voltage in READY results when any current draw above the base for that power state is encountered. Turn on the running lights, it goes...
I had some questions about the BLRFM12_55 battery and wrote to the manufacturer ExpertBattery. Their customer service for this was first rate,...
I made some measurements about current usage in our 2007 for various combinations of power state and electrical options. In the first table,...
"Usually" the temperatures are reasonable and all is hunky dory. Under high loads, or maybe if the pack fan is jammed up, the car may dial back...
No. There are three temperature sensors for the whole pack, and if it gets too hot they can cause the car to throw codes and effectively turn...
It is a little odd that there seems to be no protection on those sense wires. In another similar application in the same car the sense wire from...
After staring at the wiring diagram PDF for a long time I'm still not clear on the heavy cable geometry in this car. Looking from the top in the...
There is a very heavy cable from the positive battery post to the jump point in the fusebox. When the car is in READY it has maybe 4A flowing...
Back in the day cars had built in voltmeters. Luckily this is by far the easiest instrument to add to any car. There are combination voltmeter,...
Decided to see how much current was going into the battery at 14.1 V at equilibrium. After having fully charged the car the day before drove it...
To find out the long term parasitic draw it is necessary to wait quite a while. The car does all sorts of odd things after it is turned off, and...
