Did they put a wrong-sized battery? They should have used the Toyota TrueStart DIN H4, which is the identical size to EN LN1/BCI 140R. Also, its...
I had a full battery drain last summer after leaving the car undriven for over a month. The battery voltage was 1.3 V as far as I remember. The...
We have over-100-℉-weather here for a large portion of the year?? :) That sounds good. It could be somewhat worse than the input-kWh estimate...
Not completely hype. The solid-state battery technology proved much harder to realize than people thought. The problem is that the since the cell...
You can disagree and be also wrong at the same time. And you are wrong. I know this because I have extensively experimentally studied the 12-V...
Well, as I keep saying, the problem was not that you damaged the battery by draining it. The problem was that the car's BMS won't fully recharge a...
That is a 5,000-mi/8,000-km reminder that you reset after each oil change/tire rotation. The 12-V-battery disconnect has nothing to do with it. It...
Lithium-ion batteries have a certain cycle life, and the capacity will gradually degrade which each cycle. A PHEV battery will degrade faster than...
The official EPA rating for the new battery is 6.34 kWh at the 240-V plug, not 6.6 kWh.
There is a possibility that there is excess moisture in the tire air, which is suddenly condensing when it gets too cold. On a dry, nonhumid day,...
Toyota is not the only one working on solid-state batteries, but they are still a long way from being practical and economically viable.
Looks good.

As a bonus, the owner of Tesla, Inc., is a white supremacist/neo-Nazi. [img]
Toyota engines do not need break-in oils. That was for flat-tappet engines of the long-gone past. Moreover, even the SAE 0W-8 oil today protects...
If it had a BMS, it would have to have a current sensor as well, which would require more than two terminals to connect to the battery.
Power-tool lithium-ion batteries have a built-in BMS inside that calculates the SOC. Again, the SOC is charge, which is the time integral of the...
The BMS likes to keep the SOC around 80% or so. But it will never be successful in bringing the SOC there after a deep discharge. You should hook...
SOC stands for state of charge. Charge is the time integral of current, the latter of which is charge per unit time. Therefore, you need to...
After a night of charging, a 69% SOC makes no sense. As I told you, you shouldn't trust the SOC numbers shown by the battery monitor. They are...
