Toyota Prius Fix and Replace Battery cell repair cheap.  Lexus Auris Camry Toyota DIY

How to fix a Prius (And many other Toyota and Lexus Models) HV battery. This is the job Toyota wont do and charge thousands of £££s to replace the entire battery. This cost me £25 to fix myself.

Also: Check out my NEW channel ‘Ratarossa’ for great Supercar Videos and fixes.

Note: Safety first ALWAYS remove the Orange High Voltage plug from the battery first before starting any work (takes 2 seconds to remove and replace after), the battery is high voltage 200+V so be 100% safe. Only attempt this job if you have an understanding of electrics.

I also diconnected the normal 12v car battery to be 100% sure.

Fault wise my car a 2006, had all the dash warning lights and check engine management lights, VSC on and also the fan vent on the side of the rear seat was constantly working overtime ! My car has 165k Miles on it

Once you have got the battery out its a simple job to diagnose which is the failing battery cell. I got a replacement single cell from eBay for £25 inc shipping and thats all it took to fix it.

Tools wise again very simple
1 x 8mm socket
1x 10mm socket
1x 12mm socket
1x 14mm socket (for the 4x rear seat bolts)
1x Multimeter (to read the individual battery cell voltages) cheap mine was about £20.

Note: When I reinstalled I still had a warning light (Triangle) on the dash, this seems normal. After putting car in Drive and reverse a few times, taking it for a quick drive down the road and powering the car on and off this then resets itself.

Good luck and please stay safe. Share the knowledge.

I was saved from spending funds on a brand new car battery when I heard about the reconditioning program ( Check Details Here>>>v ), therefore I tried it to recondition my old auto battery! I thought it would take much effort and hard work, however it was simple as ABC. That already saved me about $ 100 and there are a lot of some other batteries.

Hi! I'm looking into buying a 2007 Nissan Altima. The current owner informed me that there is a problem with the battery. Is there a way to somehow disconnect the battery and drive the car using only the engine?

I'm doing the loading and unloading test for CIVIC HYBRID 2005 with Imax equipment. but this team has to set the maximum limit you in mah where it will arrive. I put 6500 which is the maximum load to 0.6A and 1.0A perform the download.

What should be my right values in mah to result in a good performance, I read enforos that the burden should give me a maximum of 6200mah and download between 5500 and 6200mah.

Will I have to increase the amount of amps loading and unloading for each battery. or care if I leave as I?

Question, I saw some of the terminals had some corrosion on them. Did you get a chance to clean those up? What did you use? I think I'd hit it with my dremal and follow up with some bulb grease. What say you?
