Toyota Prius Automotive Batteries

One of the main reasons why the practicality of hybrid and electric cars is still disputed is because they have massive batteries that need to be changed from time to time. The capacity, size, price, and compound of your Toyota Prius’ battery differ depending on the generation of the vehicle and the presence of a socket on its quarter panel. Early versions have relatively small packs, while more recent Prius iterations offer larger capacity, growing to a plainly immense value in Plug-In versions. Unfortunately, so does the price.

In addition to the main battery pack, each Prius is equipped with a conventional 12V battery. That is to make sure you can start the car even without “juice” in the main cells. This battery also needs to be changed although it typically serves longer since the hybrid system is tuned to rely more on the drive battery. One of the unique problems that a Prius owner may face is the failure of battery cooling. Unlike the standard 12V electricity storage, drive batteries emit a lot of heat that can lead to overheat and cause problems, and the cooling system is designed to prevent it.
