Separate names with a comma.
It probably does. Toyota probably uses the same miserly, bug-ridden BMS algorithm in all of its new vehicles, especially the hybrids, in which...
That Noco Genius charging profile sounds right. The first stages take only a few minutes, but the last stage takes about 48 hours until the green...
They don’t do anything. That disconnection mentioned in that document is not for the entire battery but some fuse for some nonessential accessories.
So, an LFP 12-V battery doesn’t really work in cold? Great.
No, Gen 4 and Gen 5 Prius HEV and Prius PHEV all have the same miserly battery-management system (BMS), which sometimes fails to bring the SOC to...
No, discharged but not dead. The Noco Genius will easily bring it to full charge. There shouldn't be more than about 10% capacity loss.
Chances are that the 12-V battery had a low SOC from the get–go (since you purchased the car). As I said repeatedly here, the BMS is not capable...
I see—so, only the Gen 4 and Gen 5 PHEVs cannot accommodate a spare tire then.
But you don't have any place to put a spare in the HEV AWD and PHEV models. You are not buying a Prius with a useful hatch and then put a spare...
Why don’t you drive for 20–100 miles and get it from a different dealer? The dealer lots are full of silver XLE AWDs. There are currently 20 in...
Why don’t you wait for Gen 5½, which is less than a year away? They are obviously selling you a lemon anyway.
This is the coolant system with the heater core in the Gen 4 PHEV. The heater core is described as “straight-flow aluminum II (SFA-II).” [IMG] [IMG]
There is one in the Gen 4 PHEV. Since Gen 4 and Gen 5 are practically identical cars, I am sure there is one in the Gen 5 PHEV as well.
Your body or something else is rubbing on the lock button on the door handle.
Not sure what the question is, but as Trollbait said, there is both an electric heat pump and a heater radiator core in the Gen 4 and Gen 5 PHEVs....
I also still get highly impressed when I see Gen 4 Prius Prime taillights on the road at night. They are one of the best taillights ever when...
I probably wouldn't trust a battery maintainer from Harbor Freight.
The Gen 4 battery—unlike the Gens 2, 3, and 5 batteries in the trunk—is under the hood.
Mine is a Gen 4 PHEV. So, I think the only option for me is the old-fashioned way of clamping on the battery terminals.
After four months, I went ahead and hooked up the Noco Genius (5 A) to recharge the AGM battery, as the open-circuit voltage was dipping to as...
