I don’t think so. Even my brand-new 2009 Corolla 12-V battery died during the car’s warranty period after I started driving it infrequently and...
Yep, that is exactly the problem, which also happened to the OP. Dealers don’t properly maintain the battery and sell it to the new owner with a...
Yes, the DC–DC converter can provide over 50 A, I believe. When the 12-V BMS lifts the voltage control on the 12-V battery, as evidenced by the...

40 A corresponds to a 0.9C charge rate for a 45-Ah battery. That is way higher than what my UPlus AGM battery manual recommends (0.1–0.15C). From...

DC–DC converter, yes. Of course, it does.
Why is such a simple thing so hard for you to understand? OP’s battery failed because it was already drained when the car was bought. The dealer...
LOL
There is no overcharging if you don’t tamper with the BMS sensor. There could be overcharging if you disconnect the BMS sensor, which you probably...
The main DC–DC converter is not a weak current source. It provides over 5 amperes at voltages above 14 V, perhaps even over 10 amperes. By the...
If you don’t drive much, it won’t overcharge the battery, but if you drive regularly, applying 14.3 V to the battery for hours a day, every day,...
That will reduce the battery life, though, because you are constantly charging the battery, which will be overcharged frequently. That’s why the...
Now, don’t do that. LOL.
This is not a Prius problem. All new cars have the same problem. If there is going to be a class action, it should be against the entire auto...
This has been posted here many times. The problem occurs when the car sits at the dealer lot for too long before it is sold, or when it is not...
For those who want a really sporty Toyota, there is the new GRMN Corolla Hatchback. Toyota’s most hardcore Corolla ever has five doors and two...
Consumer Reports recently bought a 2026 RAV4 XLE Premium HEV and is already giving rave reviews. The only complaints are the large center console...
This news is already three years late, as the Gen 5 Prius has been outdated since the debut of Arene and TSS 4.0 on the 2026 RAV4 HEV/PHEV. There...
