My 2005 does that. Russ Yost
I started car OK, drove 5 miles to Dr office, couldn't lower driver's side window after several tries, a sign aux batty voltage is low. Car was...
I suspect aux battery was mis-installed and isn't being charged while car is being driven. (I'm an EE.) How can I check this out? Would battery...
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(john1701a @ May 9 2006, 08:42 PM) 252516</div> 1.4x(1-0.33) = 0.94. A result of 1.00 would be exact. Off by only 5%.
I read that WSJ f ront page artical and thought it showed pretty good understandiing of the Prius system, except for the regenerative braking, of...
The 10/10 EV, gas example is flawed because the gas engine would be cold, and the first 10 miles on a cold gas engine will not be anywhere near...
Patrick,, you may be right. The text stays on the screen for such a short time, I may be rememberiing it incorrectly. Anyway, my point was most...

Here in Phx we have very little rain, so my car gets a fine layer of dust. A neighbor recommended a "Callifornia" duster, a long thin base mop...
Not a problem for me, in Phx, very hot these days. I always leave both front windows down about 2 inches, and use the heat shield in the front...
Here in Phoenix, the interior grab place is relatively cool to the touch, but I have to press on someting on the exterior to fully slam the hatch....
I wondered about that, too, but figure a charger might be left "on" for hours and the aux battery temperature could build up and damage it. The...
Thanks, Dan. You answered my question completely. In the last sentence, did you really mean a range of 3.8 to 14 volts for the output of the...
Thanks, Rick. That is an excellent site. It clarified for me how MG1 starts the ICE. But I'm curious about other motors than MG1 and MG2, for...
Some nights I lie awake trying to guess at information about all the electric motors in my '05 Prius. It would be great if some knowledgable...
Thanks for the info, Xevious. That's what I expected.
