>> I could have sworn mine was Lead-Acid
Your regular old vehicle — you know, the one that carried you to the “cathose” for your bonding sessions :-0 — prolly DOES have a lead-acid battery.
They must have been talking about “electric” vehicles.
LOL!!!!......................
I thought so too, but the Prius doesn’t have “toaster-sized” batteries, the individual cells are rectangular d-cells, put together into a rather large flat box (the previous Prius had round d-cells).
Have any car companies started using Nickel Metal Hydride for their 12-volt auxillary battery?
