How to Keep the Hybrid Batteries of the Toyota Prius C Efficient

Model: Toyota Prius C Aqua MK 1 - Years 2011-2021
Part: Battery

How to keep the traction battery of the Toyota Prius C (and generally all those from the Toyota group) in perfect condition. Under the rear passenger seats, there are ventilation ducts where the intake filters are located, which must be kept clean. This operation should be done regularly, at least once a year. Open the ducts and clean the filters using a can of compressed air. Replace the rubber filter in front of the ventilation ducts (very easy to remove) and clean the ducts as well. For a thorough job, use a vacuum cleaner to suck out debris from inside while you clean with a brush or a paintbrush. Then, reassemble everything, and now that everything is clean, the operation will be optimal.
