I''m in the market for a new 2025 RX. I can''t decide between 350h or 450h+.

Its a horrible idea. Hard on the starter, battery and your nerves. I always turn it off. I believe the computer is programed to keep count of the number of times the car goes into the start / stop mode and after a certain number of cycles the computer wants you to replace these components because the computer now considers they are at the end of their life.

The sulfate in the battery will react with damp air, creating the rotten egg smell you perceive from the car battery. Generally, the most common reasons why an old or brand-new battery smells like rotten eggs are overcharging, overheating
Learn MoreThe primary cause of the foul aroma is the release of hydrogen sulfide gas due to the overcharging of the battery. Car batteries are lead-acid batteries containing a mixture of sulfuric acid and water.
Hydrogen sulfide gas is toxic and can harm humans and animals if inhaled. In addition, the gas is highly flammable and can pose a fire hazard if it builds up in an enclosed space. Therefore, if you notice a strong smell of rotten eggs coming from your battery, you must take action immediately. How to Fix a Battery That Smells Like Rotten Eggs?
Battery acid commonly smells like rotten eggs but may smell differently depending on type (we have a chart below). Yup, you heard that right – pretty gross, huh? This stench is mainly due to hydrogen sulfide gas, produced when a battery dies or leaks.
Yes, we've all been there before when charging a 12-volt, or other lead acid battery. Car batteries, golf cart batteries, marine batteries, forklift batteries, lawn mower batteries — they are all capable of smelling like a hidden Easter egg that was never found. Why exactly is your car battery or other lead acid battery smelling like rotten eggs?
This aroma is caused by the release of hydrogen sulfide gas, a byproduct when the sulfuric acid within lead-acid batteries overheats. This overheating often results from battery malfunction or overcharging. Key culprits behind overcharging are a malfunctioning alternator or a defective voltage regulator.
When mixed or diluted with water, battery acid creates hydrochloric acid, intensifying the smell of vinegar. It can be bitter and burn your nose if you get too close. Last but not least, let's talk about ether. Some batteries, particularly those containing lithium salts, can have an ether-like odor.
