- in this amazing new episode we will find out together how does hot weather affects your HV battery over time. this is a very in depth master class video once again performing a Toyota hybrid battery service. Enjoy 👋😎👋😎
Thank You for the education.
Thank you very much from Spain, Europe.
Another great episode . Thank you !
Thanks Jose for this video,it gives me more knowledge. I do notice this due to our weather here in Nigeria.Have more jobs during the hot weather.
Excellent info
Thanks for the tips bro ; love from Pakistan
Subscribed, very interesting as an owner of 2 Toyota Hybirds in California who does the maintenance.
Thanks Fernando, glad you liked the content 😎👋👋👋
Yes Bro..
I love.NiMh......
Nice.2023,
I like all your videos good work bro
Great video! Corrosion CAUSES heat, plus ambient heat, hard on ANY battery. Extreme heat/cold are hard on ANY battery.
I worked at a lead/acid battery mfg so I'm "old school". I believe in slow charge, so if it was MY battery, u went thru all that trouble, I could wait a couple days.😉😁🇺🇸
Yes, this is good advice, for lead-acid batteries. When you get to AGMs, they prefer a bit sturdier charge like 0.1 C, so a 100 ah battery should get 10 amps max while charging (if it wants it).
The NiMH are a different animal. It is harder to tell when they are charged - the voltage stays relatively stable. The signature is more pronounced with a much stiffer charge, and 1 C is appropriate. That means these 6.5 A.H batteries are best charged at 6.5 amps. It isn't easy finding a charger that will do that.
Your video are great. What scanner do you recommend for a DIY for a 2013 Prius V? Thank you.
Complimenti e continua così insegni tante cose.E🎉 grazie
Excellent Video!
Thank you ravi 👋😎👋😎
Very good i wish i learned this years ago
Show parabéns sou aqui do Brasil 🎉
Hello from Bulgaria
Good vídeo i have one Hyundai kona 2023. Question. Where You work ? In the caribe regars Luis S. A. You speak spanish ?
Jose, thank you so much for your channel it helps me out everyday I'm even fixing other people's braces now LOL anyways I have a question after I balance my batteries the traction battery will the check hybrid system check engine light thingy will that go away if the batteries are rebalanced and I clean the EGR thing out and cleaned out my fan I think everything should be okay but will that fix the car? Thank you
As long as they have same capacity it should be fine... for more great info you can just sign in our online HV battery training... send me a DM via our instagram page 👋😎 you will love it...
Very good informative sir. From India
In using 2014 Camry hybrid used car purchase ♥️♥️♥️
Have you had any issues with heat soak? With his state of charge, does your batteries particularly in the middle heat up over a threshold and the cooling fan not working quick enough to cool it?
Great videos. Is there a good interval do do this in colder climates? Obviously it wouldn't be every year like in the Caribbean, but in North Carolina for example, would this be good to do once every 5 years? Once every 10?
Yeap... i would say 3 years at least
take a vacation here in Palawan! and spend some time on my Ioniq, no one here and no dealer here because of the pandemic!
Hello I had a question for you. Once the bad modules have been replace does the permanent code for the hybrid battery go away after driving it around for 100 miles or so? Or does it have to be eliminates by a mechanic?
hello every body, I am from reunion island and i have a toyota yaris hybrid 2012. since two month, I have engine light and abs light 'ON' with disconection of hybrid system.So for a long time i just reset the system with pulling out minus cable of 12 volts battery. last week i open the battery pack and found a lot of corrosion on the cell terminals. so i just clean it with water +salt+ vinegar and took the voltage. i found that the cells N° 11 ans 12 has 7.77 and 7.78 volt the others have 7.80 to 7.90 volts. So I did not change the emplacement of cells and put it back on the car. I constat that when i put my air conditioning during 10 minutes of drive, the engine + abs light comes 'ON' again with hybrid disconection again. and today i try to drive without air conditioning, no message appear and no disconection of hybrid system. do you think that its battery pack? and i also have code U0100 with U0293. thanks in advance for your responses.

I brought my pruis new in 2012 it has 162,000 miles when do you think my hybrid battery going go bad. Do u recommend me when it goes bad just buy a new oem from dealership because its going last another almost 200,000 miles.
Where in the Caribbean are you at brov 🤔 ? Blessings from Jamaica 🇯🇲. Currently researching the Honda HRV/Vezel hybrid. Sort of worrying about that heat phenomenon now...😟
More worry about there dual clutch going bad
Need more details on charging it manually
I can't help but wonder how much of the corrosion on the links are due to salt air of your location. The green on the nuts indicates chlorine.That suggests it's more than just heat that causes the corrosion. Green is also oxidized copper.The car's computer reduces battery usage when the battery gets hot, controlling the temperature. I see that on my DR Prius app on Highlander Hybrid 08. That said, corrosion shouol be removed no matter what the cause.
(This might make another great videoTopic)
What type and model number diagnostic scanning tools are you using for these hybrid HEV vehicles. I'd like to be able to at least read, reset and clear Hybrid codes. But most cheeper $300 and less odb2 scanners wont have these abilities. Thank you.
Any recomendations
Yes, actually a new video about this topic is coming in the next week hopefully 👋😎
Listen to the man and NEVER put your NUTS in ACID!!!
Jejejeje not the nuts… acid will destroy the layers
thanks bro.. I'm trouble because it's 50c in my city in summer I have a Toyota Camry Hybrid. Any recommend about this
Use the ac is more then enough…
Does not humidity also have an effect on these batteries?
I live in Indiana which is in the US. Indiana weather fluxuates back and forth where be in the 90 degrees Fahrenheit and the next day be 50 degrees Fahrenheit. All I have is a driveway. I don't have a garage to put my car in. I take extra steps in hot weather by open all my doors allow the inside to cool off before turn on the car. The moment I do turn on the car is to turn the ac on full blast. When in winter I don't have control of that. Plus there is no videos shows how to protect hybrid batteries from kids spilling their drinks in the back seat or dogs peeing in the back seat. I hope designers thought of this.
Have you tried running a duct from the A/C system to the battery air intake?
Done ✅ and working just great 😁😁😁🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋
Now I know why Vegas Nevada people don’t have one.
You say we don’t have to clean both sides to a mirror finish, but what about the electrode that makes contact with the busbar on the other side? Doesn’t it require contact to the busbar with a mirror finish?
Not really... it is just a voltage reading for the bms, so hi current won't flow through it 👋... a normal clean is enough
Hey man where are you located..?
👌
Can’t get sulfuric acid anywhere here in the USA unless I buy a dead $30 battery from the junk yard. Is there another way to clean the copper busbars?
Also, can the sulfuric acid be removed from one of those sealed Prius batteries?
Any parts place should have it...
@@hybridsolutiondiagnosticssulfuric acid not available in any US parts stores. Also, nobody sells a used car battery. Highly regulated. Any other options?
@@ivannc3933 you can get it at a pool supply store.
Can’t find sulfuric acid anywhere. Can you recommend an alternative?
Also, brake cleaner doesn’t remove the black stain from the nuts. Is there something else that will work?
Thx
Whaaaaaaaaat... sure any old 12v battery will have some... and you can always reuse the acid 👋😎
@@hybridsolutiondiagnostics ok, got it.
I used industrial strength vinegar, baking soda and 2000 grit water paper. It came out shiny but still had 5-10% of markings on it. But none of the remaining stains are on the contact part. I wish I could send you a pic.
Is that ok?
Also, the nuts are BLACK! Even brake cleaner won’t clean them. I’ll have to hit it 2-3x and see what happens. LoL
@@ivannc3933 the vinegar discolors the nuts. Did you put them in vinegar?
Where are you located?
You probably have saved me $25,000 easy. How? Any hybrid that was used in the American south will have exactly the same problem. So buying a used one must be done with great care. It’s not enough to examine the high voltage battery fan filter, you also have to check the battery itself.
I have a gen 2 Prius with new nexcell battery's but still slow on acceleration also no codes any advice thanks
Make sure tune up the engine properly… injectors, plugs and of course check the compression as well as fuel pressure ☝️🥸
toyota prius 2014 vs hyundai ioniq hev plus 2017 which one is ur favorite and which battery can last long
can the acid clean the spark plug together XD
So there is only one material better at corrosion resistance than Nickel, gold. Lol. The mirror finish is to ensure more surface area in contact. The only way to get better contact is using a foil of Indium. But indium corrodes. Do you ever add 2% nitric acid to the battery acid for cleaning copper?
Hi there, I lived in Singapore and driving a Sienta Hybrid with 1NZ-FXE. Recently I realised my fuel economy can no longer go pass 17KM/L. Did a scan on hybrid battery capacity and it shows 44.52%.
May I seek your suggestions should I reconditioned or get a brand new battery?
Mileage is 180k km.
Replace it …
@Hybrid Solution Diagnostics Appreciate it. Learning a lot from your videos.
Really enjoying your videos. Interesting subject. Do you think car 🚗 color may factor in to possibly degrading batteries over time. Since darker colored cars like black for example get hotter inside when sitting in the sun ☀️ as opposed to white cars which would be cooler. Would be interesting experiment.
Vehicles are well isolated inside, however it is just a matter of time.
@@hybridsolutiondiagnostics replaced my 12V battery today and I think there are two options in my case why it may swell:
1. I used the battery reset switch about 5 times (battery voltage was 9.5V at these moments). As I know, this switch just closes the circuit through the inverter to fast charge the battery. If so, there can be a very big current flow that can damage the battery even if this battery can handle this current officially.
2. One time the main battery fuse was blown (the fuse was 125A, replaced on 150A). At that time I didn't know how the battery reset switch worked (interesting thing, with the disconnected main battery if You click on battery reset the car will turn on the 12V battery but will not charge it). So the 12V battery was drained fully to 9 volts and after that battery reset even did not work. So I just connected the terminals from another 12V battery to jump-start the vehicle and I think that was a mistake because of current flow.
I think, In both cases, there are no current limitations and that really can damage the battery.
@@hybridsolutiondiagnostics it would be nice if You also made a video on how to clean this battery inside) Thanks for the content!
Do u recommend recondition once a year?
Yes... it will be great...
62 thousand miles and it lost 20% that's nuts. I believe that is a zinc coating on the bolts and nuts
HOT WEATHER my good friend...
Jose beware of that guy,i think he is trying to use reverse psychology on you so he can learn from you instead
i wonder if gold plating the bus bars and nuts would provide a permanent solution for the corrosion problem
Yes indeed, but too expensive ☝️🥴🤣🤣🤣
I prefer vinegar over battery acid for corrosion cleaning & neutralization.
It safer for normal humans.
Great Jose, I put you up there with the Car Care Nut and Scotty Kilmer as my favorite mechanics that know what they are talking about and are honest.
Thanks a lot rob, im glad you liked the content 👋😎
