No, I did not. I believe that the data was still with the car after the replacement, but this is an L Eco that does not have programmable seat positions and such. The only things I have to re-adjust are the calendar and the time after a battery disconnect.

Glad it helped ya.

O'Reilly Auto Parts is where I got the battery. What brand and model of tire did they get you? Keep in mind that new tires (of the same type, not touring vs. mudding tires) are just about always quieter - you really can't start to judge the road noise until about 15k to 20k miles, and then-after.

I just saw a "Sprocket Cover Vn800 Vulcan 800 95-05 Kawasaki K6" advertised on ebay. www.ebay.com/itm/116161940003?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&srsltid=AfmBOoqmK-iXDXnXInrxtYMnceC6wC8BPO_vM5LsR3UX98qMy0-r_lTXDQ8 That rubber part, if not available at a dealership, probably aged, dry-rotted and broke away. You may need to fabricate a new one.

Jeez, this was so long ago, but I also see water on the front bumper - I'm guessing that I drove through rain to get the new battery (jump started it at home, and again at the auto parts store, with the jump pack) or on the way back home.

I'm not familiar with the Prius V. They were no longer available when I went to buy a Prius in 2019.

You are so welcome. I hope it wasn't too long or boring.

Very kind of you. I'm just here to help where I can.

No reason any woman can't do any auto repair. If someone uses their penis to replace a 30-pound battery, they're doing it wrong.

Not sure if anyone answered u, but I went to Toyota parts dept, & installed mine in the parking lot. I gave them my old one for a core charge. All the computer does is go by age of battery & let u know when something is wrong. Being I worked for a battery company years ago, there is no issue with me bc I'm constantly checking mine.

No, thankfully no concerns. Toyota kept this end of the electrical system / 12V system simple.

Happy to be of service.

I have heard of this issue with other machines or devices (not even sure they were vehicles), but not on Priuses for a battery that recently died. In the case of this video, and most cases of weak batteries - as well as the stranded motorist whose truck I jump started (not with my Prius) two evenings ago - the batteries still had enough charge to turn lights on, etc., but could not turn over the engines. That may all change if you put a Prius into a secluded storage for a year or more and completely drained/killed the 12V battery, but that would be an uncommon occurrence.

what are the techniques to preserve all the settings? I particularly don't want to lose the history of mileage by date in the trip diary.

@@udance4ever There is none, I changed mine out recently and the only thing that was reset was the clock, everything else worked, wireless keys, settings, bluetooth, everything was the same.

@@nguyenvinhvx Same. I did not lose any data in the diary, but then I use Fuelly app for all my data anyway.

I bet you're correct. Thank you!

read reports that sometimes the 12V battery needs replacing after 4-5 years so good to know u got full use out of it!

@@udance4ever Cold climates don't kill battery life. I would guess that @faithr719 lives in a less extreme place. Our highway pavements, alone, are cooking our cars' and trucks' batteries even from below here.

@@Spearfisher1970aha. glad mine is in a garage out of direct sun most of the time (i’m more towards the desert but not extreme like Palm Springs or AZ)

@@udance4ever I've sold semi-trucks, dump trucks, and general straight trucks for many years. Even being parked over blacktop, here, kills the two to four batteries in many of the big trucks in two years (and, often enough, in much less time than that). It's crazy. I was originally from a northern state and never had these issues. Some Western Star dump trucks store their starting batteries inside the cab under the passenger's seat and, while I never liked that location, I have to wonder if the batteries being in the air conditioned cab made them last longer. But it's more than where one parks their vehicle. A battery being charged by an alternator develops heat. Mixed with extremely hot tarmac/highway-pavement, and high ambient temperatures, the batteries get cooked just by daily use.

​​@jonny_lagunawhy is an AGM recommended? what is the difference?

in the video it says 44765 on his odometer. I had my 2019 battery go low on me & did some research & it is possible a 12V battery may need replacing in the 4-5 year timeframe. that said, the dealer said the battery checks out fine & didn't need to be replaced so just gonna keep rolling with it & keep a jumpstarter under the seat.

Sorry, I just saw this question. This car is based in south Florida where most new batteries only last two years. Heat kills batteries and tires here well before use and mileage does.

If u have a new/good 12v, ur traction battery doesnt have to work so hard. The more u drive, the better.

My issue is starting the car. The car will run for however long but the actual starting. Not sure because the battery hasn’t been tested yet

​​@@forw4rdp422if you have an older Prius, you are correct, your 12V is in the back (not under the hood like the 2019 featured in the video)

That screen inside the petcock is almost useless and only drags out big particles of rust it is not a true filtration like putting an inline filter in. All CK carburetors should have an inline filter, if you think that petcock screen is doing the job then you're poorly mistaken
