One more observation, once the 12V battery was empty, the mileage starts out at 42-43, only to pick back up to 51-52 after about 3000 miles no...
Thanks uart, I was measuring with a voltmeter at the fuse panels, both in off position and the second one with external charger. Well, in the...
My experience varies. I have had the battery go empty several times. Mileage dropped more than 5 mpg after I had the first service. I noticed that...
Nope, even though I had synthetic oil at the 2nd maintenance. Right now I am avg 46 with the synthetic oil over 3000 miles. It seems I can't get...
couldn't agree more, I wondered the longest time why my mileage went down after I discovered "B" mode. There is one exception though, below 20mph,...
I still believe, the Prius is jumpable by 8 size D batteries through the aux port. Even if the car appeared dead, in my case the bat still had a...
you might have a shorted cell in your 12V battery... That drains real quick when the system tries to charge 5 cells up to 14V Just a guess ......
Re: 12volt battery discarged on Prius (discharged) Andy, sounds like a joke! But it works! I didn't push the brakes, though. A Service menu comes...

Sorry guys, this doesn't go where I want it ... Could you please just post your voltmeter readings? Yes, I am so stubborn but the more I'm curious...
Thank you jayman, you've been providing high quality information. I will do the battery test, but still I am kind of suspicious, if my battery...
Hi all, I have had a couple of times where the 12V battery ran empty after my Prius was sitting in the garage for a day or two. The dealer never...
no wonder my mileage dropped after I've discovered "B" mode... great forum! frosh
Re: Automotive Diagnostic Tools You know, I was trying to beleive this, too. Now, I just think they talk about the hybrid battery protection....
50W is about the power a good sportsman can sustain for 10 - 20 minutes. Just think he jumps on a trainer and creates 50 Watts for one hour, there...
My voltmeter is cheap but halfway decent, i.e. my fully charged jumpstart batt shows 12.93V. The Prius just after a 20min. ride shows 12.45 and...
I am utterly surprised, I always thought "B" should regenerate more energy. I even was reassured by thinking I heard the generator howl, but...
