Friends: 0 |  Prius Low batteries I recently tried to start my 2007 Prius and I had to use a jumper. I have been leaving the head lights on for safety, and I forgot to open the driver door to shut the head light off. After about 15 minutes it wouldn't start. My other problem is the power station I own has a lead that's to large to connect to the hot terminal. Does anyone know of an adapter that would work? |

Friends: 10 | Re: Prius Low batteries Do you mean the jumper terminal under the hood? If your clips are too large for that, buy a small alligator clip from Radio Shack. The 12V battery on the Prius isn't very large, so it won't last long if you leave a door open or your headlights on. Keep an eye on yours. It may be time for a replacement. Tom |

Friends: 0 | Re: Prius Low batteries Sometimes people mistake the threaded post and nut as the +ve jump start point rather than the folded strip of metal. Last edited by timberwolf; 07-01-2009 at 01:19 PM. |
