    Hence the "with the headlights on" part. You need a decent load to see what the battery is really going to do.

    I see we have been told off by another expert..
    clearly 12 volt batteries dont come with a warranty even though most say they do right on the battery and its not bad until it hits 10 volts.. good to know I have been wrong for the last 6 years and 4 Prii's Ive had

    Ill be sitting quietly in the corner watching the wallpaper fade in the sunlight, care to join me?
