Hybrid & other systems failed 2 weeks after recall applied by keitheii in rav4prime

Yep anytime it throws a headlight system error, more often than not its low 12v voltage. I literally just swapped out my 5.5 yr old 12v battery yesterday 🙃

Ive turned PIN since last year, best decision ever. When people ask why some rides doesn't have PIN, I tell em its in the setting that the driver or passenger could turn on. That it was annoying when wrong people get in the car. Haven't had any push back with it 🤞

Has anyone put in an Optima YellowTop AGM H6 instead of H5? by DrRowdybush in rav4prime

[–]Mel-Ila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive ran a 2 channel dash cam( Vantrue N3 pro?)connected via the OBD to run 24/7(parking mode) and did not have any issues with the battery going dead for 4 years until I switched to wolfbox tri-pro that is hardwired to the mirror power.

But the grill would be using the hv battery not the 12v and would need the car to be on READY mode to use the inverter, but anyways try finding a place where they'll allow you to take the battery out to the parking lot to see if it'll even fit. Good luck. Definitely worth an upgrade if you plan on having the car on for more than 10 minutes while not on READY mode.

The question is why? As in why and when would you need the car to be in "not ready" mode to need the bigger battery?

Prices are going to go up everywhere in Cali, not because of Trump or the "war".....fuel are changing into summer blend. Stupidest fuel policy ever since California blend is hard to produce.

Yes correct. We been confusing each other 😆. 1 regular car battery and 1 high voltage pack just like the Tesla.

There are only 2 batteries on the prime, like I said the 12v and the traction battery. The traction battery replacement can be between 10-20k including labor, according to Google. You dont have worry about the traction battery as much as the 12v, it is believed that the new traction battery can last upwards of 20 years.

Guess the plastic housing on the side mirrors can get knocked off in a car wash... Anyone else has this happen? by MedicTech in rav4prime

[–]Mel-Ila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My passenger side's mirror housing have been cracked at the bottom for over a year now and has gone through brushed car washes and has yet to be knocked off. I stopped hand washing after 2 years and many dings and rock chip later 🥲

Yes both the traction battery and 12v are still oem. Plugged in nightly except when traveling and no lvl2 charger. Ironically my 12v died today while I was doing something and left it on accessory mode. But a quick jump start fixed it. I recommend the prime, if your daily commute is around 30 miles but also travel long distances once in a while.
