    I live in Toronto and I'm having battery issues. Twice in a month I had to call roadside service for a jump because my car wouldn't start. It was in the extra cold winter, but this never happened with my older model Prius that I had for years. The Dealership has replaced the battery twice under warranty.
    Any insight into what's going on? I'm not leaving it for weeks, only 2-3 days.
    I'm trying to prevent continuing problems.
    Thanks

    this is an ongoing problem for many gen 5 owners with no solution offered by Toyota.
    the design is draining too much when the car is off.
    is there someplace you can plug in a battery maintainer when not driving?
