Where is the fuse box on a Toyota Prius?
In a Toyota Prius, the fuse box is typically located in two main areas: under the dashboard on the driver's side and in the engine compartment. The interior fuse box can be accessed by removing a cover beneath the steering wheel, while the engine compartment fuse box is found near the battery. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific locations and diagrams if needed.
What brand car battery last longer?
Not an answerable question. The brand of the battery makes little difference, the specification is more important. The reason the brand makes little difference is that in North America there are an estimated 3000 brands and three main Auto Battery factories that produce those batteries. US Battery and East Penn seem to be the best. But it is very unlikely you will see those names on any battery in a store.
What is the life time for the Toyota Prius battery?
The main battery pack (behind the rear seat) should last for 12 - 15 years. The Prius battery pack is always charged above 70% of max and because of this lasts longer. The small ordinary battery that powers up the instruments should also last longer than in other vehicles. This should last over 7 to 8 years. The small battery only powers up the instruments, it is not used to turn over the engine. Actually the Prius battery can last 13+ years as it has already been proven (13 years in production, with relatively few problems). Japan was the first country to get the Prius, in 1998. According to Toyota the battery charge is kept constantly between a 45% charge and 75% charge. The charge indicator is 75% charge at max, and 45% charge at min. (which is never reached in practice). It likes to stay over 60% charge.With this approach the battery never over charges or under charges. Kind of like your cell phone, which is a lithium battery but same principal applies. We let our cell phones die then we plug them in before we go to bed. So the cell phone battery goes from no juice to being over charged, which over time kills the battery sooner. Cell phone companies tend not to talk too much about this as it adds added sales in batteries every 1-2 years.
