Any battery in any car that is fully drained must be manually charged with a battery maintainer. There will also be a loss of capacity due to...
DC–DC converter, yes. Of course, it does.
Why is such a simple thing so hard for you to understand? OP’s battery failed because it was already drained when the car was bought. The dealer...
LOL
There is no overcharging if you don’t tamper with the BMS sensor. There could be overcharging if you disconnect the BMS sensor, which you probably...
The main DC–DC converter is not a weak current source. It provides over 5 amperes at voltages above 14 V, perhaps even over 10 amperes. By the...
If you don’t drive much, it won’t overcharge the battery, but if you drive regularly, applying 14.3 V to the battery for hours a day, every day,...
That will reduce the battery life, though, because you are constantly charging the battery, which will be overcharged frequently. That’s why the...
Now, don’t do that. LOL.
This is not a Prius problem. All new cars have the same problem. If there is going to be a class action, it should be against the entire auto...

This news is already three years late, as the Gen 5 Prius has been outdated since the debut of Arene and TSS 4.0 on the 2026 RAV4 HEV/PHEV. There...
What is really needed is an update to the 12-V BMS software, but I guess they are not doing it because it could void the EPA test.
I have the 5-amp Noco Genius, but for maintaining it, even the 1-amp version should be OK. Even with the 10-amp version, full charge takes about...
To preserve the traction-battery life: Don’t store it at higher than 70% SOC. (Ideal storage SOC is under 40%, perhaps around 25%). Don’t charge...
Circa September 2026. Toyota’s normal production cycle is August–August.
Not for us hypermilers who prefer low-rolling-resistance OEM tires. LOL. Apparently, the BEV range can drop by up to 10% with them. I still get 40...
Gen 6 will likely offer a BEV version, which should be significantly faster. As for the hybrid version, I think the power could be slightly lower...
