When the battery is cold - whatever the car decides is 'cold' - the ICE will start if you call for lots of power from the battery. So with low...
There's a video on Youtube where they do a teardown and analysis on the Tesla Model S drivetrain. At one point you can see the label on the...
It's up to the car to protect the battery from idiot users. The PP already prevents overcharge, charging when the battery is too hot / cold,...
I live a long way from a significant amount of water so humidity isn't a big issue for me. However, I still have a few rules to help keep...
Has Toyota given any details on the battery warranty? I think they've said that range reduction is not covered. Does that mean that if your PP...
Thanks Salamander, I didn't see that thread. I'm actually surprised at how low the measurement was. 60-80 ma isn't much of a load. But, at 80...
I just bought a second BM2 monitor so I made some measurements. Although it's rated to draw 1 ma, it actually draws more like 3 ma. At room...
eow, I *strongly* advise you to get a battery monitor for the 12V battery. The charging system in the Prime doesn't do a good job of keeping the...
I don't see the point in limiting the charge to 8A. Take a look at the attached graph. Under normal EV driving, discharge current goes over 100A...
I bought those from Burrows last year for my Prius Prime. They fit perfectly. Installation is a bit of a nuisance because there's not enough...
As Salamander_King said, the PP doesn't use an AGM battery. Never has. I've checked the water level on my 2020 PP twice and added water once....
I think it's fair to say that the temperature in the New England area would be similar to Japan. Sort of benign if you don't look too close. ;)...
This was over many days of "pandemic" driving - i.e. short trips and not very many of those. A long commute or a garage would minimize the effect...
It's not just the phantom draw. The 12V charging system on the PP is substandard. It assumes that all Primes are in Japan with a rather benign...
No. The engine is started by one of the big motor-generators which is powered by the traction battery. So, if the traction battery was truly...
Something like a large carabiner, ubolt, or screw-closed chain link should also work as a convenient way to hook onto the top.
So far, so good. The 'voltage diff' is the difference between the highest and lowest cells. 0.01V is what you want to see. The 'state of...
I agree with Salamander. It's a bit of a crap shoot as far as adapters. I tried two cheap ones and neither worked properly on the Prime. One...
OBDII (spoken as 'O-B-D two') stands for On Board Diagnostics - Version 2. It's a standardized port that allows anyone to talk to the various...
If you have or can borrow an OBDII - Bluetooth adapter you could run the Dr. Prius app to see if one or more of the battery cells are failing....
