Separate names with a comma.
True. Another reason that batteries fail sooner in hot climates is that many charging systems do not adjust the charging curve for temperature....
Why? Because it has no scientific basis. We could also agree that the Prius gets good mileage from the clever use of butterfly kisses, but that...
Not at all true according to the Scandinavian studies. Tearing up the roads comes from the old style of studs. Studies with the new style show...
If you keep it on a battery minder the chemical reactions are mostly kept in check. I suspect you meant your comment to apply to a battery not...
You make my point. Tom
The diffusion rate of O2 is nowhere near 3 to 4 times that of N2. O2, in theory, is actually a larger molecule, so theory would predict it to have...
The negative comments on this thread about studded tires are all based on the old fashioned metal studs. The new generation of studded tires cause...
Greenhouse gases help retain energy from solar radiation. If you reduce the incident solar radiation less energy is absorbed by the Earth. There...
The OP had his 12V battery on a battery minder, so discharge was not an issue. Btw, as a side note, this is my 18,000 post, not including...
My suggestion is to claim the fob on your insurance. If it was damaged by fire your insurance should cover it. If you don't have insurance you are...
I don't see this as a safety issue, but moisture is not a good thing inside a connector. Tom
Does your Prius move when this happens? Does the gas engine start? Tom
1. A dead battery can become a load. If sufficient, this load can drag down the 12V bus and keep a Prius from powering up when jumping. 2. Never...
Nitrogen and oxygen both behave like ideal gases at normal tire pressures and temperatures, so neither is "less susceptible to temperature."...
This is outstandingly bad mileage. Congratulations to the OP on what may be the worst Prius mileage ever. My first thought is that the OP must be...
Hardly. Speaking of forgetting, I already stated in this thread that I would never mount only two winter tires. My previous suggestion was to...
Which says nothing about the tires you used. Tom
Translated into non-technical language: Your Prius never shifts gears, which is why you never feel it shifting. Part of the power goes through the...
This sounds like a post from someone who has never driven on ice with really bad summer tires. ;) Tom
The voltage of the cell is determined by the electronegativity of the electrodes. The two different metals have differing electronegativity, so...
