Why do the batteries in Toyota Auris estate cars overheat?
From this article you'll learn why the batteries in Toyota Auris estate cars get damaged. We know what's causing it and we know how to prevent it!
A very important element of the hybrid system's high-voltage battery is the cooling system that protects it from overheating and permanent damage. The battery fan draws air from the cabin through a grille located under the rear seat. Over time, dirt builds up on the filter mesh and restricts airflow.
Additionally, in the Toyota Auris estate, the air outlet in the trunk gets clogged.
Improperly glued sound insulation clogs, after a few years, the opening through which the air cooling the battery should escape.
It's very important to regularly clear the ventilation system so as not to expose the battery to overheating, which results in cell damage. During every inspection, our workshop checks and cleans the ventilation system. If dirt gets inside the battery, we clean the cells, service the electrical connections, and measure capacity to extend its lifespan.
On hot days, it's recommended to use the air conditioning, as cooled air in the cabin reduces the risk of battery overheating. Keeping the car clean reduces contamination of the battery ventilation.
We invite you to our workshop for oil changes, air-conditioning service, diagnostics, and other mechanical repairs on hybrid cars.
