Separate names with a comma.
I believe that Toyota has been the top auto producer in the world for many years running. I believe VW may have surpassed them occasionally. I...
Frankly, I'm a little tired of these "remedies" based on minuscule effects. Have some people lost all sense of proportion? The charging cable...
I find it fairly loud, and I see no evidence of either sound insulation, or noise-cancelation. Something for Toyota to shoot for next year.
I have a junk bin full of various AC adapters I've collected over the years. I thought I could find one to run my 12V cooler from an AC outlet,...
I prefer distance remaining. I find it to be very accurate most of the time. On a warm day, my full plug in charge is 60 or 61 km. I set the...
Maybe it's just me, but when my system is using 340 mA or more when the car is shut off, "new battery" just sounds a bit stupid. Anyhow, I did...
Thanks. I know this is off-topic, but your signature line indicates that you prefer to take Pascal's wager. I do not. Simply because science has...
I feel I've already explained this issue in exhaustive detail. I am loathe to reiterate everything again. I imagined I could install a panel...
Like I already said, I've jump-started plenty of Priuses, and there was never a 100 amp load or even 50 amps.
I can tell when someone is just guessing.
I'm starting to think the ammeter is not worth the trouble. I'd need a big solenoid to break the power, and I'm not sure I want to rely on that.
The problem is that I have no a meter with a wide enough range. It would have to handle milliamps right up to full load.
I think you're correct, my idea wouldn't work.
I haven't seen the kind of parasitic drain I saw before, I guess I'm guarding against it happening again.
My Gen 5 seems to be very sensitive to voltage drop, and it's also unfortunately prone to erratic parasitic drain. I want to install a panel meter...
I agree that the newer Priuses have a starting problem. Below a certain threshold voltage, the car will not even try to go into READY mode. The...
That's correct, it makes no sense that the 12 V battery delivers 100 amps or even 50 amps on startup. It only has to activate the computer system...
It's happened before. When I start the car, and there is no Android Auto running, it's usually because my smartphone failed to connect. It's...
Well, that makes no sense. Since the Prius has no regular alternator, it relies on a DC-DC converter to take power from the hybrid system to...
Cold Cranking Amps have absolutely nothing to do with a hybrid that doesn't have a starter.
