  1. I wonder what this is, as a hybrid doesn't have a starter motor, like a 'normal' car?
  2. Agreed but the point I was trying to make is that using the seat heaters, rear window demister etc.. will not accelerate the 12v battery drain as they are feed by the traction battery. If the hybrid is put into the ready state for approx 30min at least once a week the traction battery will recharge the 12v battery, even if the car isn't driven. Not something one can do in a 'normal' car as at idle there is insufficient surplus charge from the alternator to recharge the 12v battery that has just taken a big hit turning the ICE over!
  3. It's as much to do with how the power is delivered as the actual power.
  4. Surely, with a hybrid this shouldn't be an issue as all these consumers are powered via the traction battery, not the 12v battery (which would be the case in a non-hybrid)
  5. Are yours OEM? How much are the discs from Lexus dealership?
  6. Have a word with any local auto upholsterer. I had aftermarket heating elements fitted to the rear seats in my C class when I had them retrimmed. There are many makes of element that slips under the leather covers.
