dr prius lithuim modules problems

heh... I do comprehend what I write and what I saw on the link you posted... see screenshot below.

Do you not realize there is a "manufacture" core charge? So whatever price you pay you also pay an additional "core charge"... did you not realize that?

you know.. id take you seriously if you listed the true charge to the credit/debit card which is $2,990.58 plus shipping for OEM

that said, whose to say the batteries you buy now are made from the same materials as the cells 20 years ago when the vehicle was released? Budget cuts and such, heck... they are replacing 98,568 Tundras with the 3.4L turbocharged V6 engine due to machining debris in the engine and you think they got it right with the new stuff aye? Well, you do with your money as you please, but I'd like to think there would be more presents under the tree if you bought the Sodium battery, I mean that's just numbers bud.

well, picture this.. a train leaving the station, me and the others are on it heading to HappyVille while you are at the station looking on like "dang, I wish I had what it takes to gamble with confidence in my abilities like them".

 

all the while scaring the poor folks regarding an aftermarket battery that you have no experience in.... only word of mouth?

these folks are looking at your words fearing the worst and here you are can't do the math on the overall initial cost of the battery... heheh whoever it was said they cant trust someone who chooses aftermarket... yet you can trust someone who chooses OEM to not do their math properly right?

 

You realize that the core charge is refunded when you turn in the core, don't you?

$2990.58 - $1350.00 = $1640.58. I'd take you more seriously if you could do basic math.

Most dealers will not ship HV batteries so there is no "plus shipping" either.

 

lol, this guy doesn't know what a core charge is... (was referring to black_jmyntrn post)

 

Still confusion, it doesn't say if it new or refurbished.
That's 13 years old...... It's less for a 2nd Generation...
If you were really concerned about your family you wouldn't have an older Prius.
Given how so many say how unreliable they are and how much it will cost to keep it running.
Whether someone has a family or not, it's reasonable to believe they concerned with
their own safety and others on the road.

The other comments make no sense....

 

The idiocy in these posts is unbelievable. You guys are senior members? You should be embarrassed.

Still confusion, it doesn't say if it new or refurbished.

Really? Are you serious? Does every repair part sold by Toyota state that they're new? Pretty much every replacement part sold by Toyota has a 1 year warranty. It's standard. Nothing being hidden.

That's 13 years old...... It's less for a 2nd Generation...

WTH are you talking about? I have a 2009. Pretty sure it's now December 2024. That's 15+ years. What year are you living in?


If you were really concerned about your family you wouldn't have an older Prius.

Another stupid thing to say. I never said that's the only car we own. A well taken care of, 150k mile Gen 2 is plenty safe. Not everyone needs all the latest glitzy safety equipment that comes with the newest cars. Actually most of the new cars can still be bought at lower trim levels which DON'T have all the latest safety features.

Given how so many say how unreliable they are and how much it will cost to keep it running.

You're obviously not speaking from experience, because the Gen 2 is one of the least expensive cars ever made to "keep running" for anyone with 25 cents worth of DIY ability. If you're worried about "expensive to keep running", I'd focus on the head gasket prone 2010-2014 models that drop like flies.

God, I can hardly even bring myself to waste any time with wannabeneutron. The guy that doesn't realize core charges are only appplied if you don't turn a core in when you pick up the battery? I even pointed out my price was from a dealership less than 30 minutes away, where, guess what?, I CAN PICK IT UP and turn in the correct portion of my old one at the same time. (if I decide to replace it, which isn't required yet, as it's still working ok) . Unfortunately, it's not a train leaving the station, it's just jimmy's brain. blackjmyneutron, apparently a legend in his own mind but doesn't understand basic stuff...what a joke. I was told this was a knowledgeable forum. I only see a handful of posters on here that appear to know what they're talking about.

 

Yeah, jimmy, that was just a cut and paste of the first link that popped up when googling G9510-47033. Just showing that the price is available. You're not living up to your name. Not even close.

"dang, I wish I had what it takes to gamble with confidence in my abilities like them".

You have no idea of what my confidence and abilities are, but I've read enough of your posts to know your kind. You talk a lot of sht, blow a lot of smoke and try to sound slick. You live with the theory that if you can't dazzle them with knowledge, then baffle them with bullsht. because you talk a LOT of BS.

 

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
What a crybaby.

You don't even know you're in the 3rd generation chat room.
Go to the 2nd generation and cry their. But you still will not know what a chat room is...

Another clown to ignore....

 

And to correct my "typo" 15 years, not 13. And the "cost" of the hybrid battery is less
for the 2nd generation.

That's 13 years old...... It's less for a 2nd Generation...

Some people are so self involved and lost they can't be helped.

 

Umm, This IS a Gen 2 forum. It would seem that it is you that doesn't know where you are posting.

 

the funny part is.. you actually believe I don't know what a core charge is... did you even read the words that I typed?
see the below... The point I was making is... no matter what Price they say they will charge you... "INITIALLY" YOU ARE PAYING $3K and if you are thinking of your family like I said... that core charge could go a good ways in this week before the big holiday on gifts for the family... sounds like you just want to type a bunch of nonsense and not read what others write...

huh....

I guess I am the only one who thinks of it in a sense that there is no way you can get a Toyota HV Battery for $1600 which is the same price as the Sodium on the initial charge to your card. You see, the way folks assume on the internet is quiet astonishing... or just their reading comprehension isn't as good as you would expect.

You know, these days, I am starting to like you. It's just... this is the Gen 2 area, good sir!

 

whats most interesting is that you assume a lot... they say when you assume you make an nice person out of U and Me. Even funnier is how there are folks who are clearly in their feelings about me, you being one of them and for that I am flattered! Ill leave you with these words of wisdom by the Great and Wise Dogman seeing as how, you are the one that cant be helped!

 

Well Done...............maybe you need to lay off the booze.

here's a cut and paste from the top of the thread:

but then the temp control measures are all rudimentary... two blower fans and some shaped plastic is all they are using. Its not rocket science. also... since they use the same battery chemistry between vehicles, all one would have to do is ensure the cells have the same spec for volts and the capacity the vehicle doesn't care about and wont throw errors on increase... whose to say you couldn't us the cells from the bz4x and if you have the male raw connector to ECU for your vehicle, to pin the original battery harness to another vehicle the work involved is minute... trust me I know!

edit.. well.. not for sure sure until I get my hands on a battery pack. found one for $11k and gonna talk to one of my investors to see if they want to see what I find out from this endeavor...

 

It was 44 degrees yesterday morning. The battery temps were:
1: 57.60, 2: 59.94, 3: 57.83
Not freezing weather, but pretty cold for Florida. I had NO issues with the battery.
I only drove 4.5 miles round trip, with 10 stops each way and got 43.6 mpg.
I'm not having any issues with my Sodium battery.

well then, with all of your wisdom... why havent you designed and implemented a hv battery that checks all the boxes while never going bad ever again?
