Wasn't there more to that post ? Anyway, replacing the 12 V battery is not "prudent", it is necessary. I haven't done good following the flow of...
I think the vast majority of the responses said: It does NOT need an oil change in the middle of your trip......anywhere, by anybody. If you are...
SO ? What is your point ??
Post 5 reinforces the "guess" that there are other serious problems......which may or may not be the case. Sorry I missed #21.....but it seems...
If there is a reply hiding in there, you might want to edit the post so that it shows up properly.
There are NO "12 V battery issues" with any Prius model that are much different OR any more prevalent that with any other vehicle.
Just STOP please. Some or all of those trouble codes you are seeing likely are FALSE readings. BEFORE you do anything else, you need to replace...
16 years is a REMARKABLE run for any 12 V car battery. At 10 volts, it is almost totally DEAD. You are lucky it starts or runs at all. Before...
Maybe not. You will be out of town at a shop that you are not familiar with. And you will be "hitting the road" immediately after. IF.....they...
Now would be a good time to review your owners manual. The 5K maintenance interval likely applies ONLY to tire rotation and the oil interval is...

World peace would be nice too. :) Given what you have said about the overall condition, I would not recommend a new battery......or all new cells...

I never suggested that "topping off" was a good thing.......when in the hands of an amateur. IF.....there are only a few little bubbles going...
Because....... When one or more cells goes bad, they are worn out from use and others are likely not far behind. You can NOT "rejuvenate" a...
Yes, you ARE. The post is about what to do with a battery that he ALREADY bought. Maybe that wasn't the wisest thing to do......but it is already...
I thought that was universal for ALL vehicle makers. If it is missing in some Toyota maintenance lists, I think it is a simple mistake and not a...
In this context, please define "recharge" for us. If there is a site glass in the system, a quick visual check should be good enough. If not,...
Not necessarily. If the two vehicles are of the same "generation" then the odds are good. If they are the same year, then you should be good to go.
I see NO advantage to carrying the charger hardware around with you all the time, especially not IN the engine bay. A simple SAE battery connector...
