Yes, from what I've seen they can improve the battery health somewhat by helping balance the cells. I don't think it's anything like a magic...
Ok that all seems fairly normal. That falling to 1-2 purple bars when you start thing, while not uncommon, is probably an indication that the HV...
It definitely wouldn't be any problem with an engine in good condition, but yeah it is possible that it could make oil burning a little worse in a...
Did you check the condition and level of the oil when you first bought it. The oil is one of those things that's dead easy to check. I really...
It really depends both the condition (health) and the state of charge of the traction battery. Next time, take a look at how many "bars" of charge...
Yes, it certainly could. There have been a few cases reported here of coolant not filled correctly (trapped air) causing it to later overheat....
Yeah, there's no reason why it couldn't happen even with a totally new battery. It all comes down to driving with a power demand that exceeds what...
Yeah the hills and mountains can push the batteries pretty hard. At 220k miles this would definitely just be normal "wear and tear". The Gen2...
Yes, there have been quite a few reports of this behavior with Gen2's as they age. Basically it's the HV battery losing capacity as it ages. They...
What type of HV battery did you use? New or secondhand?
Read everything I wrote carefully. All of what I said is true. BTW. I'm not saying that mg1 doesn't switch between motoring and generating under...
Take a look at this simulator Tony. Toyota Prius - Power Split Device As I said previously, whether mg1 is motoring or generating really comes...
- It's the inverter coolant reservoir. - You should top it off to the "Full" line using Toyota super long life coolant (pink - comes as a 50/50...
Hi Tony. When the engine turns mg1 (that is, applies torque to mg1 in the same direction that mg1 is rotating) then mg1 is generating and as you...
Ok thanks. It was approx 68 to 70F when I tested, and I left both front doors fully open so that it had to keep working hard. So I think my...
Before owning the Prius I had once or twice "air clutched" an automatic (gone for the clutch while coming to stop) after switching back and forth...
Well I've been driving the Prius for about 6 years now, and it's the first time I've done it. It's weird how the error just came "out of the blue"...
I finally got around to testing mine. No tech stream here, so results will only be an estimate, but here is what I got. Car is 2005 with 270,000...
Lol Mendel. I think that any Prius fume problems would have to be a whole lot worse than they actually are if they were to account for the number...
Agreed. I don't think that a clogged cat should cause fumes in the cabin!
