#62 of 96 Re: Dead battery woes in my 2007 Camry Hybrid & Toyota Service [gillesmtl] by droid13 Sep 08, 2006 (8:57 pm)
Replying to: gillesmtl (Sep 08, 2006 7:59 pm) The hybridsynergydrive web site describes the DC/DC converter among lots of different resources. The ToyotaIguide site makes mention that once the traction battery is outside it's safe range, HSD won't start and see your dealer (again, among lots of different resources). There is a dedicated port on the traction battery for charging it should something go wrong, of course that's where the manual warns you that you'll electrocute yourself if you play with it.

Replying to: stevedebi (Sep 08, 2006 12:48 pm) I've read in a few articles that Toyotas goal is for the traction battery to last the life of the car - typically 15 years or 200K miles.
#64 of 96 Toyota does make changes... (I hope) by magelan Sep 17, 2006 (10:29 am)
My car is one week old. Going back to the subject of drained batteries if car is not put to "P". I cannot get the key out unless I press the Power button. When I press the power button the gears switch goes into "P" position. Overall it must mean that the "P" gear problem is effectively solved unless you leave your keys in the car...

Replying to: magelan (Sep 18, 2006 8:35 am) So you mean the "car key socket" in the car door?

Replying to: magelan (Sep 18, 2006 8:35 am) Oh, come on! I would not stick the car key into my pocket to drive! So what I said HAD TO BE getting the keys out from the car key-socket...   We're a bit confused. The only "key" that the Camry Hybrid has is a little bitty stick of metal that's used to open the driver's door and/or trunk in the event the SmartKey fob fails. There is no physical keyhole or key-socket inside the car anywhere. No physical key is used to start the car or to turn it off, just the Power button.   Thus many Camry Hybrid drivers DO stick the car "key" (i.e., the SmartKey fob) into their pocket to drive. I keep mine in my purse and never have to take it out.

Replying to: magelan (Sep 18, 2006 8:35 am) Was it so difficult to understant?   I started to ask the same question. Now that you've answered it I still don't know what you're saying   Oh, come on! I would not stick the car key into my pocket to drive!   Uhh, that's where I keep mine when I'm driving. Replies to this message: pse (Sep 19, 2006 9:41 am)

Replying to: wvgasguy (Sep 18, 2006 4:35 pm) I am just as confused as everyone else about what is being said. What exactly is the car/keys problem and what are you pulling the ket out of (the fob or the car)? I also keep the keys in my pocket when I drive.
#71 of 96 Discharged battery at parking lot by gillesmtl Sep 21, 2006 (6:56 pm)
It happened to me too, today : Left the car at a parking lot, the parking attendant told me he knew how to handle a hybrid. I was back within 2 hours, to find the traction battery almost depleted. I guess the attendant pushed the POWER button before shifting into PARK.   From now on, I will keep printed instructions in the glove box, to put them on the instrument lens when I leave the car, and I will also make sure the radio is ON (it stays ON if you push the POWER button before shifting to PARK).
