Join me as I assemble the refrigerated 18.2 kWh High-Voltage Battery used in the 2021-2025 Toyota RAV4 Prime/PHEV. Learn which parts are involved and how they work.
CORRECTIONS:
1. I have been informed that the 2026 and later RAV4 PHEV Battery is different from the one in this video.
2. I mispelled the word solenoid 😕
