Sam's post #16 above makes an important point. A charger probably puts 14 volts into the charge to get it into the battery, then levels out at 13-something volts, and that's OK. A nominal 12 volt lead acid battery is 100% charged at 12.7 volts, and that is OK. The voltage the Prime maintains might be less than 12.0 volts, and it runs for years that way. "Full charge" can have different definitions. Then it took another 4.5hours of absorption phase charge before going into reconditioning phase and then float and maintain/storage phases. Started at 14:00 and the bulk charge phase did not finish until ~17:00. The graph below shows the 12v battery voltage reading during the charge session on my 2020 PP using 5Amp Victron automatic charger.

Just for a reference, when I charged my PP's 12v battery from 12.4v using my 5Amp Victron automatic charger, it still took at least 2-3 hours of bulk charge to get it up to a full charged level of 13.4v. Depending on the level of SoC on the 12v battery at the beginning, with a 0.8A which is very small, it may take overnight to get the 12v battery fully charged. I don't know what the indicator means, but assuming solid amber is the bulk charge, flashing green is the floating, and solid green is the maintainer mode (fully charged), the indicator means that it has not finished the bulk charge phase.

Also, you may have to re-initialize a few items like power windows and parking sensors on the car.Ĭlick to expand.No, I have never used Battery Tender brand charger/maintainer. If you do that, then there are a few precautions mentioned in the manual. But, to be honest, I have never done that myself when I recharged the 12v battery. If you are concerned, you should disconnect the ground cable of the battery as recommended in the manual. If the system will not start even after multiple attempts at all methods above, contact your Toyota dealer. Take extra care when connecting the 12-volt battery if the power switch mode prior to discharge is unknown. Make sure to turn off the power before disconnect the 12-volt battery. If the 12-volt battery is reconnected, the vehicle will return the power switch mode to the status it was in before the 12-volt battery was disconnected.

However, the hybrid system will operate normally from the second attempt. The hybrid system may not start with the power switch turned off.

If this happens, use the wireless remote control or the mechanical key to lock/unlock the doors.
