Separate names with a comma.
Depends on the season. In the middle of winter that's not bad at all. When you get those temps after months of evening lows being above 75° it...
You can manually start the preconditioning, but it will shut off after ten minutes and by the time the car replenishes the charge to the battery...
It's useless even when it's 45°F. As you know, it runs down the traction battery right before departure time. Any functional 15A outlet is...
That's a good strategy, but it doesn't make the car stop charging when electricity quintuples in price. If you plug in at 1:00 pm it will still...
FWIW that's been my experience as well. My 2012 PiP still has the original 12V battery.
As long as you make sure not to short the wires I don't see why it would be a problem. Let us know how it goes. Some people like to use products...
If they get hotter than around 210°F and keep their magnetic strength they aren't neodymium. Maybe they're using some kind of Samarium-Cobalt...
As far as I can tell the regulation is based off of one very flawed study that even cautions that the sample size is too small to draw...
I think neodymium is ok up to around 210° or so, so it's probably never that hot in the transaxle.
Junk made in China from Amazon is like that. There's a whole ecosystem of paid fake reviews to promote the products. It happened pretty quickly...
Heat can quickly demagnetize a magnet. I remember finding that out when I tried to solder a wire to a neodymium magnet years ago.
In Toyota manual lingo "hybrid system operating" means READY mode.
if you use site:priuschat.com in the Google search bar, results will be limited to pages in the priuschat site. PS - It drives me crazy that...
As far as I know, there is nothing that changes in the car based on driving mode (EV or HV) other than the mode itself. Toyota takes great pains...
I decided to watch what happens when you start a charging session. It looks like the PP does some kind of current sensing to detect the SOC of the...
Yeah, the second attempt did not yield the same results. It's never "that easy." I would hope that the charging system isn't programmed to only...
I have a hypothesis supported by preliminary data, but I have to do more testing to confirm. It appears that the 12V battery continues draining...
The reason I don't suspect a parasitic load is because the battery isn't going dead. If it was the car it would have to be drawing about 2A to go...
Battery is already at 12.35V. Nothing on in the car. Nothing plugged in except a USB cable that isn't connected to anything at the moment.
Even one that sits on the dashboard and plugs into a cigarette lighter?
