Here is a very detailed link. at youtube.  >>>/watch?v=jwy1tcVHJ_g&list=W­LrNn1105ZQGKPvlVUGX2qeKKlBLySz­waM. Its a 3 part series, enjoy. I like your video as it does not require all the rear of the car to be disassembled, great job.

Thanks for posting this video. I imagine the SW heat accelerated the lifespan of your battery. I have a 2004 Prius with 209,000 miles and the battery is in good shape. It was interesting to see how you replaced the traction battery. You did a great job!!

Carol Dormady says:

Since you started doing this, any exposure to the 2006 Highlander battery? Mine is “dead” (still driving around on it) and the cost at the dealer is $6,400. Sadly, in the Pac NW so I can’t have you fix it.


drsjr1969 says:

You could but I don’t see much advantage in it and it will probably overload the charging circuitry with the extra load when the batteries are drained. Just my opinion would never try it.

Jon Bozzy says:

Do you think could put two batteries in Parallel?

tam lee says:

You did such a great video you should do a video about using the meter i think they would enjoy it

mysqueeker says:

p1151 is the coolant pump failure. replace the coolant pump for the inverter and that problem is fixed. the p0a80 is the traction hybrid battery so you will need to have that serviced. usually you are able to replace the defective cells if you are good with electronic testing to see which cells are faulty. or if you are under 100k that battery is covered by warranty

Gary Oberholster says:

I agree with Joe A, being a Toyota hybrid technician myself this battery can still kill you even with the service plug removed

Joe A says:

Hi,this is Joe from Prius Hybrid Battery Rebuild Texas,
Please be very careful!!!!!! this battery can kill you in a second!!!! also do not think  the battery is safe to be around just because you unplugged the Orange High Voltage plug? wrong if you think that way !!! what you maybe don’t know is the high voltage still exist through the bus bar and it just waiting for any mistake !!!!! so please be extremely careful when you are around or dealing with any HV hybrid battery ..
again Be Safe !!

drsjr1969 says:

I don’t feel the Prius is underpowered and should handle the hills fine. If you know San Fransisco’s hills you will fine many Prius’s there. I don’t know about shipping but a battery is going to cost around $1500.

drsjr1969 says:

Sorry, I think you might have more problems than just a battery. How many miles on it and what year?

mikixP says:

hello just bought a prius off of an auction with some front end damage after car was fixed , 1 red triangle light came on and also check engine light , i got codes p1151 and p0a80 , do i need a new battery ? the mpg is really poor around 15mpg…

pipin447 says:

hii sorry for my english i from puerto rico and asking you what is the cost of a new baterry and used one. and waht to you think for prius in puerto rico is a very hilly island.

drsjr1969 says:

Does your 04 have the info screen that shows the hybrid battery charging? It should be blue and then go to green when getting close to full charge. If it is purple a lot and sometimes blue but almost never green then that would tell me the battery is getting weak.

edward esquivel says:

I have notice that my gas mileage is not that good on my 04 prius but then again it has 202555 miles. I was told by the last owner that none of the batteries had been replaced. I also do not get any codes on my scanner. I already did a fuel service at toyota and it didnt help. What could be the problem?

drsjr1969 says:

Actually this video covers the Prius models 2004 – 2009 second generation. 2010 is the start of the third generation Prius and the battery is different.

drsjr1969 says:

The original Hybrid battery should be good for 150,000 miles. Most of the problems I have seen happen after that.

TeamSaucyFit says:

How often do you have to replace battery? Does the battery need to be charged here and there?

TeamSaucyFit says:

Can you please email me your contact? I am thinking of buying a hybrid for my transportation business.

ArcadeDude44 says:

Great info, thank you! I just picked up a 2010 model, hopefully it’ll be a while until I need one of these. Thanks for posting.

babybirdhome says:

BTW, thanks for the video!

If nothing else, it’s good for people to have an idea of what’s actually involved in the job so they don’t have a sketchy mechanic or dealer take them to the cleaners on it.

babybirdhome says:

I’m pretty competent with electronics, and could probably do this repair job myself if mine ever goes bad, but I don’t think I would do it– I’ve made too many dumb mistakes in my time to risk it. That said, this is a job that a competent and careful shadetree mechanic can do on their own and plenty have, and as far as I’m aware, none have died. Just remember that one mistake can kill you with this battery. Take the necessary precautions, and if you feel nervous at all about trying it, DON’T!

CanBoChoChet says:

mistake or not. no need to worry about battery life. This car’s battery not even ten yrs and already dead. tell yourself dont tell others what to do.

Craig Shipp says:

Buy a Toyota. The Huyndai would be a mistake.

imzjustplayin says:

Battery isn’t that expensive if you get a used replacement and if you’re buying a Prius, it’s unlikely you’ll reach this many miles in the amount of time you own the car.

imzjustplayin says:

Too many miles on the car, anything over 150K and it’s well past the warranty period, that’s true for all cars.

imzjustplayin says:

the decimal is small but it’s there.. It’s 220v, no way in hell is it 2200v, that would make it high voltage and nearly impossible for him to work on it.

imzjustplayin says:

Too many miles or in a state that doesn’t have that long 150K 10 year warranty.

austin mullins says:

HEY were do you get an AMIMI ATA certification from? because i was thinking of trading in my ASE master tech certification in to get the one you got because it is obviously better:)

WAR2GUY says:

I was an electrician for over 40 years, now retired. I think you handled this battery replacement safely and efficiently. Thank you very much for the posting. I’ll now be looking for a used Prius.

ThyNoodles says:

I got an 08 with 138,000+ miles and so far it has a healthy battery 🙂

CanBoChoChet says:

I am not a big fan of these hybrids because of this exact reason. However, if I ever decided to get one, I would go with Huyndai for its lifetime warranty.

antiigravity says:

good video, thanks

Marly Mar Smith says:

great Video….Can you tell me how to charge the battery and what kind of battery.

MrBuzzialdrin says:

2006 prius did not have a warranty on the battery?

TheK24Kyle says:

hm… my 2009 has 112,000 miles and runs like a complete champ. however im getting nervous as ive seen 2 videos on here of people with around 160-170k miles and dead batteries. HOWEVER one was an 05, and this was an 06. im seeing them with 200k and up on orignal batteries as well so i think its just luck,
