Hi, I’ve figured out a fuse which is draining the 12V battery in my 2019 Corolla hatchback hybrid. It’s a 30 amp fuse. But I don’t know where is it connected with. Does anyone know about it from the Fuse box or wiring diagram for this car? Here is the picture of the fuse box and the fuse. I found a YouTube video and the guy was saying this fuse is responsible for 12V battery. Any idea? Video link:

Just finished charging and reconditioning my 6 month old 12V AGM ‘Supercharge’ brand 540CC battery with $139 CTEK 5.0 MXS trickle charger from Repco. It took about 16-17 hours to complete up to stage 7 of the charger, then I took it out. Need to buy a Topdon BT100w battery tester to test the real conditions of the battery now.

Hi, I enquired from Canterbury Toyota dealership yesterday. They said my model doesn’t come with one, so they can’t fit insulation pad in my car….:) Regarding the comparison with 2019 Sedan and Hatchback….I actually didn’t compare physically yet. But online shopping site says sedan model pad doesn’t fit hatchback…..I don’t know why. I’ll check it for sure. Thank you.

Hi, Does anyone know why Toyota Corolla Hatchback Hybrid 2019 not have a 'Hood insulation pad'? I saw online people are searching for one. Does anyone have any idea? Is this a safety issue/design issue? Wouldn't it a better options like previous models to have one to reduce engine/other associated sounds under the hood? I saw there are some type of insulation pads available on AliExpress; but all of them are for Sedan, NOT for Hatchback. Is there any reason for that? Thanks in advance...

Hi Tony, thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I’ve exactly same one in my mind from Repco (https://www.repco.com.au/en/globes-batteries-electrical/battery-chargers-power-accessories/car-battery-chargers/ctek-battery-charger-12v-5amp-mxs5-0/p/A9512219?kwSearch=Ctek), which is on sale now for $133.50. However, isn’t it better to go for 10 Amp one? Does it matter if it charges a bit faster? Last two days were fine, I just disabled smart entry when you come close to the car as it transmits singnals all the time to connect to correct remote key… For parasitic drain I’ll have Toyota to check it in few weeks time if I see anymore drains. Yes, I also got a jumpstart battery for $80 from Supercheap auto (https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/sca-sca-12v-1200-amp-6-cylinder-compact-jump-starter/546745.html); nice one and on sale. I’ll update here if anything happens. Highly appreciated your suggestions again. Thanks mate…

Hi, I’m new to the group as well as new to hybrid car driving. I got a used Corolla hatchback hybrid 2019 model driven before me about 126K. Few days ago 12V the the hood battery went flat as I could start the car, clicking sound coming up and it died slowly. One friend came up with a jump start battery from Supercheap auto and started the car. Same thing happened on the next morning and I was frustrated as the batter was changed by the last owner in. 31/08/2022. I went to Supercheap auto and bought a jump start batter for $80 (still on sale: [https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/sca-sca-12v-1200-amp-6-cylinder-compact-jump-starter/546745.html]). Started and I went straight to the place where the last owner bought it as I had 36 months warranty. They checked it and to me charge is down from 540 to 450 but still more than acceptable to run the car. The guy suggested me that power is draining from the car electrical overnight etc. I drive the everyday for about 10-15 km. I need you suggestion now to buy a trickle charger/maintainer if necessary I my situation. Which is turn out to be best and economical to buy for my model so far in the group? Which one from 1/2/4/6/10/20 Amp is good? Thanks in advance.
