Three questions for HiHy owners who had to replace their 12V auxiliary battery:

1. Did you obtain a replacement from the dealer or another source? (If another source, what was the brand, model etc.)

2. What price did you pay if not covered under warranty?

3. The HiHy repair manual makes reference to the need to initialize the engine ECU after 12V power has been restored, regarding idle speed control learning (p. IN-54, 2006 repair manual). Did you follow that procedure? If not did you notice any driveability problems?

Thanks.

I had two dead battery experiences from my kids leaving the rear seat overhead light on. I would have thought it would have been easy to turn this off when the vehicle is turned off after a short while.

Didn't know if wouldn't. Good to know.

Thanks.
