• Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Battery Chargers and External Power Supplies

The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and commercial and industrial equipment, including battery chargers and external power supplies (EPSs). EPCA also requires the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to determine whether more stringent, amended standards for these products are technologically feasible, economically justified, and would save a significant amount of energy. In this notice, DOE proposes amended energy conservation standards for Class A EPSs and new energy conservation standards for non-Class A EPSs and battery chargers. The notice also announces a public meeting to receive comment on these proposed standards and associated analyses and results.

• Car Talk: ; Woman in Need of New Battery has Options

Dear : I just got word that my 2005 Prius, with 110,000 miles, needs a new hybrid battery. I got the car new, and its been well- maintained, but the battery has not given us the 150,000 or 180,000 miles that we had hoped we could get out of it. Our dealer is willing to replace the battery pack with a new one for $3,500 (another dealer would charge $3,995). Im not sure if a used battery makes sense for a Prius, and Im not sure if we could find a non- dealer with the experience necessary to do the replacement. Does it make sense to move forward and put a new battery pack in the car? We just finished paying for the car, so essentially, well be buying a known entity for $3,500, but its a bitter pill! Your suggestions? Daphne TOM: Doesnt that frost your shorts? The warranty for the battery ...

• Car Talk: ; Faulty Car Battery Causing Big Stink in Garage

Dear Tom and Ray: My wife's car is an '08 Toyota Sienna all- wheel-drive van with almost 70,000 miles on it. In the past few months, the whole garage has been stinking like rotten eggs. At first I thought it was catalytic converter smell, but the odor was coming from under the hood, not out the tailpipe. I traced down the smell to the battery and noticed that the positive terminal had aqua- colored gunk on it, but the negative terminal was clean. So I took it to the shop and had the battery terminals cleaned. Two days ago, the van failed to start. I opened the hood and noticed that the deposits on the battery terminal were back and that the clamp on the positive terminal actually had corroded through and was loose on the post. The sulfur smell is still around, but not nearly as pungent ...
