As it should. Your "new" battery might not have been anywhere close to fully charged to begin with. Recent vintage AGMs should be around 12.9 when...
Don't assume anything. "New" 12 V batteries often come almost fully discharged. And sometimes you will get a bad one too. So, be absolutely sure...
BUT.......before you get all worried about a problem with the hybrid battery, you really should check the 12 V battery and it's connections first.
No way to give significant help without being there BUT............ It sure sounds like a head gasket. If they can get past the fact that it is a...
How does that correlate with this statement that he made: I think it probably doesn't.
Yes. And sometimes more damage is done than good.
10 minutes a week is not enough. Your 12 V battery may be getting weak. Need to "pull the codes" to get a better idea.

The original contention is BS.......and so is THIS. While rotors have gotten thinner over the years, there is NO reason to do ANYTHING to them...

You are going to find that there aren't that many choices for an "exact fit" and none of them are exactly "cheap". But yes, if you plan to keep it...
AND many don't seem to realize that extremely short trips when the engine is COLD will just naturally produce low MPG numbers.....and that is...
You probably are looking at an MPG number that is not a long term average........but resets every time the engine is restarted. For the first 10...
Do your own scan BEFORE taking it in. IF......your scanner is not designed specifically for a Prius, then in likely will NOT be able to properly...
THAT is how you know that the problem is with the 12 V battery. :) Some things just FAIL with no warning. Get used to it. Now you need a new...
You are lucky. It probably won't last. If it does last, you will be extremely lucky as 65 MPG is ridiculously high.
that was my thought. But the power line thing sounds like an even more interesting theory.
Maybe not for a C. IIRC, all 4 of mine have always shown "low" when first started and then sometimes "jump" up a few bars after just a short time....
Money spent on mods, upgrades and changes usually is GONE forever.........salvage or not.
