My Yaris is now 10 years old: it's time to have a look at its battery:
Car usage is mostly urban, so plenty of EV battery depletions, and forced charges, because of slow moving traffic. Open air parking at night also.
On a side note, the 12V battery is still the original one.
I've never had a car with a service battery lasting more than 5 years: probably the periodic CTEK treatment had some benefical effect on that.
Google is about to enforce Android 11 compliance for apps on the Play Store.
Last year we merged Hybrid Reporter into Hybrid Assistant to prepare for this compliancy requirement.
The update we just published fulfills the requirement that an app is not allowed to write to the filesystem at will.
This means that the _hybridassistant directory, where datafiles are stored, will be migrated to a private directory: this will be totally transparent to the average user, who will see a "Migrating" message on the first run only.
Reports will still be accessible from the Hybrid Reporter menu as always.
If you are an "advanced" user, willing to consult the Hybrid Assistant database directly, you'll find an "Export" button in the Hybrid Reporter Database Maintenance screen that will allow to copy the database on Goggle Drive, for example.
As battery life is always a classic debate argument, here is the HV Check from a long time friend of the Hybrid Assistant development team: his Yaris MY12 is just a few km under the 170.000 mark, and the battery is in perfect shape.
The delta values of the battery modules is really low, and nearly constant both at high and low SOC levels.
Hybrid Assistant has a new icon, a minimal design inspired by the old one.
But not only that: Hybrid Reporter is now integrated into the main app and is accessible from the settings menu.
You can open it only when the car is stopped, for obvious safety reasons.
