How do I remove the 12 volt battery from2007 vue hybrid?

The main hybrid battery used in the Toyota Prius hybrid, including the Prius Alpha, is a high-voltage nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery pack. Unlike regular maintenance that involves adding water, this battery pack does not require such maintenance. However, there is a smaller 12-volt auxiliary battery that is responsible for powering the accessories and starting the car, which may require maintenance.

Here are some steps to troubleshoot and address the issue:

• Check the Auxiliary Battery Health:
• Start by having the 12-volt auxiliary battery tested to ensure it's holding a charge and functioning properly. If the auxiliary battery is old or not holding a charge, it may need to be replaced.
• Inspect Battery Terminals:
• Ensure the battery terminals are clean and securely connected. Dirty or corroded terminals can prevent the battery from charging and delivering power.
• Charge the Auxiliary Battery:
• If the battery is low on charge, you can charge it using an appropriate battery charger. Make sure to follow the charger's instructions and safety precautions.
• Check Charging System:
• Ensure that the vehicle's charging system (alternator) is functioning correctly. If the alternator is not charging the auxiliary battery properly, it may need to be repaired or replaced.
• Consult a Professional:
• If the issue persists or if you're unsure about handling electrical components, it's best to consult a professional mechanic or a Toyota service center. They can diagnose the issue accurately and provide appropriate solutions.

Remember, the main hybrid battery (the one that powers the electric drive) in a Toyota Prius is sealed and does not require adding water. It's the 12-volt auxiliary battery that might need maintenance or replacement.

First is to determine if there is a spurious current leak from the 12 v system. measure the current out of it with a good meter and turn everything off if not already. Start pulling fuses until the source is found and trace that circuit for the issue. The 12V charges from the high volt system if its anything like out Toyota Hybrid. And if it were the HV battery, then charging the 12V one so that you could start should expose a HV battery that shows significant drain from sitting. Does it? Did they verify the inverter (Charges the 12V) is working properly? Think of it as an alternator for hybrids.

Have you checked the 12 volt battery under the hood? If it's low it won't activate the hybrid system and the engine won't turn over at all.

Faulty charging system for the 12 volt system check altenator or drive belt for slippage

Hello, the first thing I would recommend that you buy a repair manual that shows step by step instructions, with illustrations I can't do that here. You'll need some common metric tools and a voltmeter, there are high voltages involved and you will need to wear insulated gloves rated at least to 1000 volts DC to prevent severe injury or possibly death.

The actual replacement is not that difficult:
Disconnect the 12 volt auxiliary battery
disconnect the orange service plug on the hybrid battery and tape the connector on the battery
remove the rear seat and the seat back braces
remove the trunk carpet and the spare tire cover
remove the two orange cables going to the front
measure dc voltage at the terminals where the cables were removed there must be less than 1 volt.
remove the 12 mm bolts that connect the battery to the body including the torx bolt
slide the battery back and have someone help to lift it out.

Hello, the first thing to check is the auxiliary 12 volt battery in the trunk, if this battery is blow about 11,8 volts the hybrid system will not activate, try to jump start with another car or charge the battery, it may be necessary to replace this battery.

only when it dies

all modern vehicles (except hybrid) have 12 volt batterys ,
6 cells @ 2 volts each .
There are different group sizes , for different vehicles ,
and fitment , but all are 12 volts , except as stated above.

Hello and welcome. here is the instructions for removing the trans filter. you will need to drop the bottom trans pan off to gain access to the filter.

Remove the oil pan bolts from only the front and the sides.

Loosen the rear oil pan bolts about 4 turns.

Lightly tap the oil pan with a rubber mallet or pry in order to allow the fluid to drain.

Remove the remaining oil pan bolts.

Remove the oil pan.
Install the oil pan attaching bolts.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 12 N·m (106 lb in).

If the battery is completely dead a trickle charge won't do much. These are designed to keep a good battery good. You need a regular battery charger set to 10 amps for a couple hours then 2 amps overnight. Be aware that sometimes if your battery has been completely killed it may not work for long, that is your car will start but within a few days or hours it will leave you stranded. You'll know because it will drag when you try to start it. Sometimes you get lucky and it works great for years.

Next time do use a trickle charger! Also if the charge you use is automatic then you can leave it hooked up in 2 amp mode when you are gone. Good luck!
