Battery test?

p626808 · 01-18-2007, 12:59 PM

Ok.. so I did my oil anaylsis on the prius..
Is there anyway to check the state of the hybrid battery?

I have the canview and have been looking for any voltage spikes.. but have not seen any.

Anyone have an idea?

There's an internal resistance reading on can-view. In theory, lower the better.

Here's Norm's explanation for that measurement, http://priuschat.com/index.php?showtopic=1...mp;#entry327966
