#90 of 96 Re: 12 volt battery goes dead fast--a design feature? [takenforaride] by lzc Jan 26, 2008 (7:09 am)
Replying to: takenforaride (Jan 25, 2008 10:15 pm) Unless the guy who works on cars is the same guy who stands behind the customer service counter, I wouldn't worry too much about the mix-up between volts and amps. Like most car salesmen, service writers and mostly about selling. The policy seems to be, the less they know the better.
#91 of 96 Volts and amps by pat85 May 29, 2008 (6:46 am)
yes it is Boch Toyota in Mass. 277 Boston Providence Highway, Norwood. Yup, brought the car in to get looked at. When I asked them how much current was being drawn from the battery, they said 2 volts. I told them current was measured in amps but they insisted it was the same. The fact that they didn't know current from voltage makes me not want them to touch my car.   IMHO the person who told you that should be fired.
#92 of 96 Camry Hybrid Rear Ended by 18 wheeler by rich07 Jul 05, 2008 (9:06 pm)
Just finished reading most of these battery Q&A and have learned a lot. I thought I was up to date?   My 2007 TCH was rear ended by an 18 wheeler and pushing us into a car in front of us, crushing the trunk lid up to the rear window almost. My problem is that due to some insurance problems the car is still is in our driveway and the Hybrid Batt is now at 1/5th. I disconnect the trunk light but the airbag lights are still on.   The adjusters estimate shows the following (which I think many might find interesting) "HYBRID VEHICLE:BATTERY IS TEMP SENSITIVE, DO NOT CURE PAINT, AIR DRY OVERNIGHT SHOP MUST CHECK BATTERY CHARGE TO PREVENT DISCHARGE THAT MAY REQUIRE REPLACEMENT" Well, I can see the chances of this happening is almost a certain.   Any comments or cautions would be appreciated. I just love this car.
#94 of 96 inverter cooler problem by deflar Aug 13, 2008 (9:52 am)
I took my 2007 Camry hybrid to the dealer after a bunch of warning lights came on indicating" check hybrid system" The result , per the dealer , a stone pierced the inverter cooler allowing coolant to escape. Damage $770 +, it gets worse, if the inverted overheated and doesn't function properly it's thousands$$ more. I have an extended warranty which, per the dealer, does not cover this incident. Is it me or why would this crital part be exposed to damage or does it sound fishy?

I think the situation is the same as if the stone hits and breaks your windshield. Check your Comprehensive auto insurance policy. It isn't a warranty issue.
#96 of 96 12 volt battery replacement by libn314 Dec 15, 2008 (3:44 pm)
I have a '07 TCH with 65K on it. It will be 3 years old next spring. Generally, in TX it is a good idea to "pro-actively" replace batteries every 3 yrs because of the heat. 1) Will this battery last longer because it doesn't have to provide cranking amps? 2) I can't find any replacement for the specialized Panasonic battery with voltage (?) probe on the internet. Is anybody aware of one. The access is easy. 3) Finally, are there any special precautions necessary for replacing the low voltage battery on a hybrid?
