Need new Hybrid battery cell?
Hello, i have a hybrid silverado 2009.
Today, driving back home from bowling, the truck wouldn't go to electric mode.
Or auto stop.
Also i noticed the fan from the battery would not turn off, battery vents are not dirty nor blocked, and i noticed the battery hot to touch,cold start from a 5min
drive to home, after about 3 hours on the parking lot.
I dont have warranty on the truck currently has 167500 miles, engine runs fine no problems at all. No engine light.
I am thinking on opening the battery and replacing the bad cell if needed.
The ones from Prius 2nd gen work with these?
Thanks for your help.

Re: Need new Hybrid battery cell?
hello, hillbilly_hybrid, next day, the hybrid battery was cool, and worked fine.
No problems at all, turns out it was a hot day 110F.
i was on a 40min traffic jam. with a constant auto stop.
I learnt that i can avoid this by setting the A/C to both floor and front vent.
to keep the battery cool.
