Awesome DIY video, love the enthusiasm on the CT200h, I have the 2011 Prius which has the same exact engine / CVT and I am currently has 228K+ MILES with the original taction battery, so you don't need to worry about that as long as don't let it SIT in parking for over months, the small 12 Volt battery is AGM type so it will last at least 5-7 years, film more of this type of vlog, it's very cool to watch. 👍😄. Love the travel vlog from your other half...awesome.

Thank you for your likes, I appreciate it very much.In fact, we plan to change the small lead-acid battery at the back to a lithium iron phosphate battery in the future.

@@t4vanlife Nice, even better than the AGM type, I remember the vlog you changed the CVT fluid, I suggest you check/refill with the car LEVEL not incline on the Rhino ramps, you probably under filled, this will ensure the transmission not overheat, I remember I changed mine with car level and added 3.6 quarts, I use a funnel with long plastic hose fill from the top down to the CVT fill hole , I run the hose down through the engine compartment, this is much easier than the pump, also you should double check the brake pads and the calipers slide pins the rear brakes slide pins may need lubrication. I don't know about Taiwan but in where I live San Bruno California, catalytic converter thieves are all over, you should invest putting in the CAT shield underneath to protect it. Also...don't go cheap using Costco oil, Mobil 1 now have the specific Hybrid 0W-20 oil for it, if you want to keep the engine clean running take my advise because I use Mobil 1 oil since the day I own my Prius in 2011. Good luck and have fun modding with the CT200h, it's the perfect car for the Mrs.

@@nedear88 Thanks for the advice, I will check my transmission fluid and brake pads.😊
@4:35 Transmission fluid is quite corrosive, when in contact with metal surface. To avoid rust formation over certain period of time, it advisable to flush the chassis with water, subsequent oil change.

@6:35 There's air trapped inside gear box. Need to remove drain plug at upper side, before filling in transmission fluid. The drain plug also serves as level indicator.
