My car is at 148k (2010 Prius III). Bought it used at 142k past November. I realized this noise shortly after I purchased it. It is exactly what's...
I have never heard of this before anywhere. Hitting the park button puts the car in neutral when travelling above certain speed.
I was gonna ask how old the aux battery was but realized your car is just 3 years old. My (2010 Gen3) refused to start a few months ago with no...
Topping of the hybrid battery will not be necessary as seen in my example. My 8-year-old batteries held up pretty well (5 bars to 4 bars after 2...
Okay. I am here with an update. My buddy stopped by my home yesterday. First thing he checked was the aux battery voltage. It was 12.06volts...
Thanks fuzzy1. You are confirming that there is no parasitic load on HV battery. Then I should be good. I should have just disconnected the aux...
NO he doesn't:) But I can instruct him... I am really not so worried if the aux battery runs down only. There is a way to recover it. My only...
I plan on having my friend start the car, let it go through its cycle and then I am gonna have him connect a float charger to aux battery. All...
I was under the assumption that the aux battery gets its charge from the HV battery when the car is not in use. That's why I stated that HV was...
I left my 2010 Prius III (148k miles) in my garage in Florida and left the state. I thought I was gonna be back in about 30 days. It has been 2...
Dome lights didn't go dim. I guess it was because they were LEDs. They pull very little amp that even a super weak battery can supply enough juice...
It could very well be the reason. Toyota engineers might have thought that MFD wasn't vital and let the other more important electronics run...
Alright... I got the new battery last night and put it on this morning. As I guessed, the car powered up without an issue and the MFD is alive....
Wow... Bisco you beat me by two years man:) I have never passed the 8 year mark so far. I was very close but didn't happen...
After an hour sitting, the standing voltage is 12.65volts. Quite good... Turned the headlights on and the voltage dipped to 12.15volts. No good...
I have many of those but voltmeter won't tell you exactly. Sometimes batteries (even when they are bad) show good voltage when there is no load. A...
Hi Mendel, That's the idea before replacing it. I want to make sure that is the cause. I don't have a load tester. I will try to turn the...
Well they really go for that long. I logged one 7 and one 8 year old battery before. All were in Florida:)
149k currently. I am just hoping it wouldn't be a bad MFD. Just went out to my car. I was going to measure the standing battery voltage after a...
8 year old battery is old and overdue for sure. I will look into replacing that though I am about to go out of town for over a month. Just trying...
