Hi Jim, From the above, do I glean correctly that, in the most common case of an Optima being deep-cycled (because a dome light was...
John, When you say "not expect the car to charge it", did you mean to say the battery would actually be damaged as a result of the high current...
One suspicion expressed by John (Britprius) IIRC is that the Prius charging system tries to charge the battery with a lot of current (60A?) if...
Disconnecting the negative terminal and placing them on a battery tender for AGM batteries alternately, should leave them in good condition. The...
IIRC, when I compared measurements taken at the jump point with that at the terminals, they matched. The ScanGauge II shows about 0.2V less than...
A couple of other things to look for regardless of the particular Prius you are looking at: 1. Does it track straight reasonably well on the...
Any further updates on the Exide? I suspect mine (still the original) might need replacing in the next few months and so I am curious. TIA.
What I have learned from others' experience here is that the car won't complain down to about 10.5 or 10.8V. Hence, I was curious to learn what...
I am trying to understand why an Optima for example, is reportedly able to tolerate a deep cycle discharge much better than the OEM Yuasa? Does it...
I have this posted in the Gen2 maintenance forum as well and inadvertently added more to the discussion there thinking I was adding it here. So,...
As I think more about this, one more advantage with this test would be that it would be good for the environment, since there's no point in more...
I don't and I don't own stock in any of them directly. The reason I say "directly" is that I don't know about S&P 500 invested in any of these. :)
My hope here is that all 4 drop-in choices currently (Optima, New higher-AH Toyota Yuasa TrueStart, Exide Edge and O'Reilly SuperStart) on the...
I don't think they do returns. I think they will only do replacement if the battery is bad. If the battery is good, I wouldn't be able to use it...
[I posted this in the Gen3 forum but so far no takers. Since this is the same battery and issue for the Gen2 as well, I wanted to post it here as...
I would see if Toyota thinks this car is still under warranty. I would check the title with the state to make sure it's a "clear" title (not...
About 4 or 5 times to see if it's still the old crap with higher AH or if the battery is now deep-cyclable like the Optima? In the worst case,...
I would actually have these done one at a time about a week or more apart so: 1. the particular service you took it in for is actually done...
You can tell the Private Dealer you want to get an inspection done at the Toyota Dealer. They shouldn't have any objection. If they do, I would...
About your concern about the "mileage". Some people here consider 50K as barely broken-in. :)
