Britprius

Can you answer a few reconditioning questions for me? You seem super knowledgable in the subject and one of the more helpful banks of pri knowledge on the forum.

Hi. I want to thank you for the helpful contribution regarding Prius. Ours is in a need of a new AGM 12v battery, as currently isn't sealed and this probably causes unpleasant smell. I can't find Ritar batteries in UK. Is there an alternative on Amazon or Ebay? Regards.

Was wondering if you knew how to set the Hitec charger everyone is using to cycle cells to charge to the preset Mah 7500 mah? Lipo mode maybe? We can't seem to figure it out. It always quits early.

Hi John, I have got a question and wanted to know your opinion before doing anything. My 2008 Prius (31K mileage only) will soon need intermediate servicing and I was thinking I do not need to change neither engine nor inverter coolants. Am I correct? Thank you

Can you copy your postings about the Auris 12v from the Newbies section to the other thread? Patrick Wong has also posted and tried to assist. Wondering if the Auris HSD uses a smaller 12v than the gen3 Prius.

Hi Britprius, Richard from near Heathrow here. Saw your suggestion of "Mini VCI with Techstream software, £23 on eBay". Would this assist with engine-coolant bleeding? Sounds like a cheaper & more useful toy than my ScanGauge!

What tyres should I buy? (being blunt as need to stay under 420char)
Want to add Energy Saver plus to my Energy Savers, F8L warned me: different types within the plus-range and said I should ask you ;)
This is what I would want to order (cheapest I found: 103,55 euros a piece free shipping)

I got this much so far: "60amp/hr and is ultra deep cycle agm and same physical dimensions as the OEM battery"

Can you give me more information on the specifics of your wheelchair battery you're using in your Prius? Who makes it? How much did it cost? Did you compare different wheel chair battery manufacturers?

Yes I posted it on 04/21/2012 page 9 gen2 care maintenance and troubleshooting or do a search on DIY air con top up. Best of luck. If I can be of any help just ask.

John.

Is your DIY on A/C charging ready?
