Battery for 2010 prius

I'm using iPhone too, and not any App, just Safari. One thing I've found, the Upload a File Pop-Up is quirky, to the point of being buggy. There's a nice big button saying "Choose File", that works just fine on a PC, but does squat on an iPhone. To get the file open dialogue going on iPhone you have to click on the text above, "Upload a File".



The above was posted via a pc btw, just to facilitate mark up. I took the pic on phone, then emailed to myself. On a windows pc, release 7 or higher, it's very easy to do screen grabs via the snipping tool, annotate, and whatever you have is automatically in Clipboard (on-deck for pasting). If you have something in Clipboard while doing initial post (or when doing "advanced editting" when editting), <ctrl> V will paste it wherever the cursor is. Very handy, don't have to use the file load dialogue.

BTW, the odd button behaviour on iPhone has been the situation for donkey years. Cleanmpg (another site, using same software) seems to have left things as-is much more, and there the pop-up dialogue button works fine on an iPhone.

Maybe @Danny can look into this, it's been like this maybe a year?

 

I usually email the picture to myself & use a PC to post.

 

You may choose it any way you like, but if you're paying attention to how a Prius works, you soon realize the reason the car specs (at the end of the New Car Features Manual) give an amp-hour capacity for the battery, instead of giving any cranking-amps figure, is because the aux battery in a Prius doesn't crank anything, and to choose a battery with the thin plates optimized for cranking would be to sacrifice durability for no benefit.

An autozone yellow too optima for a mid to late 90's civic will work.

And less expensive from Amazon as stated above.

 

Best deal for me in Canada was through SaskBattery. No shipping charge and 6% less tax. Amazon was just working with them, also free shipping, but I think the full 12% tax. The Amazon purchase (and return policy) is more streamlined though, I'm a big fan.

Still, next time I'll likely go with a local retailer (Canadian Tire for me): they have the rebadged Exide readily available, local, and about $30 cheaper.

 

That's why I chose an Optima Yellow. YMMV

 

That's what I have. It does indicate fairly high CCA, comparative to the OEM Yuasa (I think, hard to even find CCA stat for the Yuasa). But you're saying regardless, it's fairly robust?

 

From the photo attached here, I do not think it is AGM. Notice the Explosive Gases warning.

 

Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Interesting. Same amp hour rating as the Gen 2 and 3 aux battery.

 

Yes, I have found them to be 'fairly robust' in this and other applications. The size 51R fits the Prius, the CR-V and the 2000 Roadster.

 

Thanks for that, I'll save a copy. Exposed caps too, seems that would facilitate a electrolyte top-up with distilled water.

Close, it is a 2017 Trim Two.
