Excellent tip that I don't ever want to use, but its really helpful knowing that I can start the car so easily if i get a flat battery. Thanks for that
Thanks for the video. This happened to me after the xmas period when I didn't use my car much. I'm in the RAC, so they jumped me off, but I bought a Gooloo GP3000 today so I can do it myself in future.
The “fuse box” is a bit larger than the previous Yaris, but the internal 12V connection point is the same. A few years ago, when I wasn’t using it much in the Winter, I used that connection to top-up charge the 12V battery that way, using a typical battery charger - an old Halfords product, in my case. I only used it at one of it’s slow charge settings so as not to damage the small battery under the back seat. I also carry a portable battery unit with high current 12V connectors for typical cars, plus a USB connection for various phones etc, which can be used via that connection point if need be. Of course, it never has to deliver any high current to start the engine - that’s all done by the high voltage traction battery in these cars, using Motor Generator 1 (MG1) via the inverters.
The 12 volt battery on has to turn on relays in the hybrid battery pack but if the 12 volt battery falls below a certain voltage can not turn on the hybrid system A 12 volt jump pack will suffice to give the system the voltage it needs to turn on the car
Hi, which jump pack have you got,? The chap in the comment brlow said he bought a gooloo gp3000, but at £145, thats a lot of money for something i may never hopefully use. How ling can these hybrid batteries stay charged for, if left unused?
Under the red protective plastic cover there is a contact point to connect the 12 volt supply 3.56 in the video is where I showed the contact point Hopefully this helps
(Help..I,m worried) I don't have a battery pack, I have an AUTOWIT super cap 2 jump starter.These use Capacitors, and harvest voltage from the low voltage battery then deliver 12volts back to the low battery for starting. My question is : can I use the AutoWit safely on my Toyota Hybrid in this senario or must it be connected directly to the auxillary battery under the rear seat?? I Really need to know as I don't want to do any serious damage to any of the components.Thank you.
Happened to me today after car had been unused due to Christmas and a subsequent bout of covid. Unfortunately it happened after I'd driven a couple of miles from home and parked up. Car refused to start for return trip. Wish I'd seen this video earlier!
Toyota Hybrid 12 volt battery Trickle charger ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tGJ0sl_g4uI.html This is how I keep the battery charged on my dads Yaris when he’s not using his car
Appreciate the videos but getting off a plane after a two week holiday and hoping my expensive car will start is something I would want to avoid even more so if I arrived early hours.
It,s not an issue iv,e personally had with any of my Hybrids i don,t understand why some people have the issue with their cars and others don,t the longest perion my previous yaris dynamic sat idle was 3 weeks just parked on the drive after i had surgery on a wrist injury , and it started immediately but i have friend who owns a 2016 rav 4 and a few weeks back he phoned and said my car won,t start , put a jump pack on it and it started , 2 days later same phone call i did some diagnostic work and found he had a continuous drain of 1.5 amps even when the car was off , tested the battery and it needed replacing , 6 year old battery 5 days later same call , went deeper with diagnostics and eventually found the drain , his dash cam was wired up on a permanent 12 volt feed and the drain was enough to kill a brand new battery over a 5 day period since rewiring his dash cam on to an ignition on circuit he,s been trouble free for over 2 months the more creature comforts we have on our cars alarms , immobilizer and keyless entry , the car never goes to sleep so there is a continual drain on a very small low capacity battery and it will eventually not have enough voltage to turn the car on even a non hybrid car can have a similar issue if left for a period of time , they never totally turn off
It gets charged by the Motor Generator 1 (MG1) mounted in the power train, then via the inverters & a converter (roughly 500V 3-phase then down to ~ 173 d.c. then down to 12V (ish) for all the 12V circuits. The other Motor Generator (MG2) is the traction motor. In effect, they are both variable frequency 3-phase alternators/motors.
The problem with the design here appears to be the inverter and MG1 need to be running to keep the 12 bolt battery charged. I have just watched a WeberAuto video where he says the Tesla keeps is shall 16 volt battery charged from the traction battery. I wish Toyota would have done this.
Hi, this is little too technical for me 😊, can you tell me if the engine needs to be running to charge the 12v or will it charge when stationary and in READY mode? Thanks in advance.@@johnkeepin7527
