I want to clean my Prius Alpha Li-ion battery Bus bars and connectors cleaning. Does anyone in this group do cleaning of corrosion of Li-ion battery bus bar and connectors. Want to know the details of opening the Battery covers and cleaning process since its construction is little different than Nimh battery. A video will be very helpful. TIA.
I searched google but no luck. Most of the videos made for Nimh battery but my one is Li-ion battery.
Post here Battery pictures with its duct, bus bar and connectors. Each block containing 7 cells. Total 8 blocks with 56 cells. This Battery pack placed under center console Between two front seats.
They can look pretty nasty but I think most of the time cleaning them makes no difference. Probably the only time they really need cleaned is when you replace the battery.
Thanks for your answer. But many people suggests to do so to reduce internal resistance and temperature.
Guess so...but I did it at 2000,000 miles and made no difference in any voltage readings. I did get new bus bars when I replaced the traction battery. Just because the bars look dirty doesn't affect the internal resistance of the bar. Best on these is to just leave them alone till you get a new traction battery.
This copper is rusted as well as bolts and connectors are corroded should not impedes the current flow?
