Well this is a job I have had great pleasure doing today, Toyota Prius came in with the big red triangle😮 we assessed live data noticed voltage to be incorrect on a cell. Now the interesting thing about these cells is they can show good voltage which initially makes you think they are good BUT it’s important to carry out a resistance check and infact we had a further four at fault. Something we have come across a lot where only the bad cell has been replaced with low voltage and the high resistance cells have been missed
we quickly sourced the cells, balanced them and refitted back into the vehicle.

job fitted and another vehicle back on the road

Nice to see another independent garage doing this sort of work after range/charging anxiety the next thing people always ask about ours is where do you get them serviced as most people I know don't use main dealers.
