⚠️This work typically requires a licensed professional in most jurisdictions.
⚡ In this video, I show the complete step-by-step removal procedure for the high-voltage battery pack in a 2012-2015 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid. I cover the proper high-voltage de-energizing procedure, removal of the service plug, disconnecting the 12-volt battery, identifying high-voltage components and cables, battery pack removal, and an overview of the battery pack construction. The vehicle was brought in after concerns about a previous battery repair. During the inspection, I discuss the diagnosis process and what was found inside the battery pack. The Prius Plug-In uses a lithium-ion high-voltage battery system designed for both high power output and regenerative charging. I also explain some of the differences between the factory battery system and common replacement options. Whether you're an EV technician, hybrid enthusiast, battery builder, or simply curious about how Toyota's Plug-In Hybrid battery system works, this video provides an inside look at one of the most important components of the vehicle. ⚠️ This video includes high-voltage de-energizing procedures for educational purposes. High-voltage battery systems can be extremely dangerous. Always follow manufacturer service information, proper PPE requirements, and all safety procedures when working around high-voltage systems. 🔋 Fully Charged Zone #ToyotaPrius #PriusPlugIn #HybridBattery #HighVoltageBattery #EVRepair #BatteryRemoval #ToyotaHybrid #LithiumIonBattery #PriusBattery #ElectricVehicle #HybridRepair #FullyChargedZone #EVTechnician #BatteryPack #ToyotaPriusPlugIn
