Battery OEM Toyota or AC DELCO
I bought mine last year 2016 SR5 4WD at 116k miles. I'm at 140k today and it feels like new. I only had to swap the battery because I forgot to check how recent it was when I bought it.
My neighbor bought a Prius 15 years ago,whoever they came out, the dealer told him it would cost $5000 for a new battery replacement. It lasted until 2024, it cost $1500 to have new battery put in,aftermarket of course
I'm gonna 2nd the AC Delco recommendation. I have had nothing but issues with Duracell's leaking. I have never had an issue with AC Delco. Its the only battery I buy. The best.
See alot of "battery replacement cost" blah blah. 1) I have had 4 hybrid work cars (3 Camry and 1 Prius) All driven to 150k or more miles without battery issue. 2) Battery is warrantied by Toyota for 10 yrs unlimited miles 3) If you drive car alot the battery will last along time. If it sits 5 days week and you dont drive alot the battery has a small chance to be bad in 10 yrs. 10 YEARS and that like worst case if sits and not driven combined with being outside in really hot or really cold or both (Northeast). I've never seen it though in 4 cars.
I put in ACDelco and surprisingly it lasted till last week (Aug 2024).
The AcDelco I installed in 2021 December died this morning so I'd say it's good. It lasted almost 3 years and I only park outside + have a whole sound system + aftermarket horns.
My 2006 Prius's original battery went to 150,000 miles before needing replacement.
I have put 50k+ miles on my 09 Highlander Hybrid in the last 2 years. It charges to 76% and provides 27-30mpg depending on conditions. I love it.
I have a 10+ year old Prius C that had a 100k-mile warranty on the battery. It failed at 108k and cost $4k to replace. It's at 230k miles now, and I expect to have to replace it again (but who knows?)
Replaced battery in my 2012 Chrysler 200 - after being in car 12 years - yes original battery - bought car off show room floor. Replaced with AC Delco 580 CCA - as per manufactures specs - exactly 2 months to the date - battery absolutely DEAD !!!!!!
