Separate names with a comma.
I suspect that the exact voltage where things go wrong is in large part a function of how weak the battery is. If one attached a power supply...
Well, the battery is original, 16 years is a lot for a NiMH pack. I drove it recently and the SOC was bouncing up and down pretty quickly,...
My mother needs to stop driving soon. (More like last year.) Her 2010 Prius with around 70k miles seems to have been well maintained. Other...
Since this is often related to a bad 12V the OP should confirm with a voltmeter that the 12V has a decent voltage on it. It is a "new" battery...
Wildly exceeded. Factor of 2X in the best of circumstances, 3X at list prices in a few cases, and more like 4X in any place that could reasonably...
I think maybe giving it a nudge with the car completely turned off, to see if it spins OK, would be the place to start. If it won't go around by...
I drove my '65 Corvair in maybe half an inch of snow. Once. It was either 1975 or 1976. This was in the California Bay Area, where it "never"...
If one lives in a house, apartment, or even an RV there are lots of ways to save money on food. Storage is "free", electricity, gas, and water...
Test the old ones (there are dozens of YouTube videos showing how) before putting them back. If the spray pattern isn't great then run some...
I wonder if the rubber in the engine mounts and other suspension components becomes so much stiffer that there is a noticeable increase in...
While driving down a long slope on a highway I have observed the energy monitor sometimes go to all black arrows in "D" and light pressure on the...
Pack of noodles, $1.50. Bottle of water $1.00. Pot, stove, and fuel to heat water, more than $.50. Since the tool for this beating will cost...
If the A/C has been running (even indirectly, like in the defrost mode) it is a good idea to turn it off a couple of minutes before the car will...
Canned pet food is still canned food. Not much chance of bacteria in that. Other sorts of contaminants (chemicals, glass or metal fragments) can...
Well, he was a politician, so >= 90% is pretty much guaranteed. However, in this case you are implicitly assuming either that if the global...
The 12V and/or the HV pack are too cold. So maybe try to warm them up, old school style? Heat a bunch of rocks, bricks, or what have you to...
Solar panel charger. It only needs to provide a little more (on average) than the standard parasitic draw of around 25 mA. More because it has...
Road kill. A Prius isn't just good for better mpg! Lots of recipes, just watch re-runs of The Beverly Hillbillies and follow Granny's...
I watched that video yesterday. Highly recommended. The little CAT scan pictures of batteries were really nice. For once you could literally see...
Used Torque on the return trip. Got on the highway and drove along occasionally checking coolant temperature and closed/open. It was 65F...
