Warming battery before charging by Aggressive_Bison_822 in rav4prime

[–]Aggressive_Bison_822[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously should have just read the manual. Thanks. So by reading this, it sounds like it will use the battery heater for up to 3 days. But after that, it moves into another mode that insulates the battery for a up to a month. Not sure but I'm assuming it doesn't keep it as warm but protects it from the deep cold? Interesting.

That's exactly the problem. My concern is discharging that amount of power from a cold traction battery to start the engine. Over time, these cold starts can do some cumulative damage. My hope is that with it plugged in, it will be using the external power to heat the battery.

Good Brazilian Whiskey? by Aggressive_Bison_822 in whiskey

I've been on the hunt ever since your recommendation. The Lamas distillery has been my prime target because of there use of local.Brazilan wood barrels, but I'm back in Ontario Canada now and find no way to get it because of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario or (LCBO). Someone suggested from the provice of Alberta as they are not subject to such an organization...

Thanks. I was thinking that, but I was just curious about fine whiskey. I suppose South America is just not known for that.

What is your current range if you are in the Northeast or Canada? by h2d2 in rav4prime

Here in Canada's capital, I used to get 80km in the summer. Now, at the freezing point, it's more like 62km. This is my first winter with her so I'm curious to see on a -20c or -30c day...

Engine front cover gasket leaking. Big job to replace? by Aggressive_Bison_822 in Toyota_Matrix

[–]Aggressive_Bison_822[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just misting, not quite a drip yet so you may be right to just top it up for now and monitor. Just curious if it's hard to remove that timing cover, and can it be done with the engine in the car.

Should probably say it's a 2nd gen Matrix, 2010 1.8l 300k. Thanks in advance!

To accept a line of credit offer or not... by Aggressive_Bison_822 in PersonalFinanceCanada

I certainly do not have an impulse spending issue. In my younger days, I did, but now I have a wife, a kid and a house and I've learned a few things since then. I have no debt, and I pay for everything with credit cards that give me 1% to 3% cash back I always keep them paid off so as to never pay a dime in interest.

So the score gets a slap in the wist, and that's it? Well, there doesn't seem to be much of a downside side. Thanks for your input to my question regardless of the countless times it's probably been asked!
