It's the Essence of his complaint that makes the bilge rise in our stomachs my friend.

And we hate JB for a very very good reason. No other individual has made people forget what is good taste in music in recent history.

My wife thought his recent single was a celine dion number.

Somehow, coming to Autolanka for help with a Prius issue is a bit like insisting on picking up the soap in prison Lavos.

While as I'm sure the OP appreciates your support, you have to understand that members will help (or not help) a poster on their own terms. Just let it be, unless you can offer some help yourself.

If anything you are trolling on OPs post and distracting the conversation.

How is removing and re-inserting the battery cables supposed to increase his fuel economy? If you don't know what you are talking about, then STFU. BTW the prius does have a standard battery too.

Its worth giving it a shot, I have read that removing the battery could even reset the ECU

Well, its as effective as setting fire to the Prius... that will reset the ECU too.

Members,

I personally feel this battery cannot fail because this Prius vehicle is only 3 years old. High voltage batteries grantee for 100000 Kilometers or 5 years.

Contacted the pioneer S L battery assembler's son, Who is very active in battery business Having number of battery outlets.

He informed me on his mobile, when I contacted him.About Prius battery problem.

He is in China has gone there trying possibility of getting battery cells for high voltage batteries.

At present he is importing other vehicle 12Volts batteries from Hong Kong, which are made in China.

He will be back on Monday he told me that he will contact me after coming back.

Inform about replacing cells of this Prius High voltage battery. Also of high voltage battery maintenance.

Sylvi Wijesinghe.

Oh goody!

Pay 5 million for a Prius and then stuff it with a el-cheapo Chinese battery imported by sylvi's buddy. I wonder how long it will be before a few prii start blowing up like Nanos

I do not think this is a battery issue. If you check your vehicle in a good place they may give you a proper solution.

Long distance or short distance average speed and load also matters a lot to fuel consumption in Prius. If the change is after the tuning and there are no other changes then take it back to the arabian motors and get it checked. I assume you have maintained the car as per manufacturers instructions. (also hope you have taken increase in traffic due to new year last few weeks were also taken to consideration)

I haven't experianced any difference in fuel consumption based on the octane in my Prius 3rd Gen. If you are uncomfatable with the situation, best thing to do is get the car cheked at the agents.

carbuddy,

Can you inform the issues are good or bad.

I find most members, do not recommend the new service centers.

Well if people dont know they should really not talk. An almost near new batter for a Prius is 70,000 Rs and you can get it from Shan Auto.

I also agree, My brother Prius 3rd gen is having 120K in his meter. When it was imported it's 110K. Now he was using it more than a year and didn't had any issue. When I check the dash board, for colombo running at has around 15-17Km/L and for long distance 22-26Km/L. I haven't seen anything near 30Km/L which others tell. Things to check

1.Have you pressed Evo mode or Power mode button?

2. Look at the battery charging indicator in the dash board

Honda Insight has very informative understandable simple graphics to show the battery charging and discharging. Prius one is bit more complicated.

What's an almost near new battery??? One that has been pulled out of a used Prius in Japan??? You never know if that prius has done 100km or 1000000km although the seller will claim its nearly new.

You should look at a mirror when you say "if people dont know they should really not talk"

Well like all spare parts we have to go with the word of the seller but here its been tested and comes with warranty so i guess no one is really screwed. Screwed would be if you had to pay like 500,000 Rs like some people think.
