After 16 years and 140k miles, our Prius battery is still going strong.
Stated the battery was going bad, my thanks to Autonation for letting me get the inspection done and replacing the battery with a Varta AGM (I believe factory spec). Basically I love this car
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.
I replaced mine with a higher capacity Varta 44ah 420cca battery, never had a flat since
Varta B33 Location: Right Trunk under Taillight
Thx everyone, in the end I found a Varta B23 on discount, which is slightly bigger and slightly stronger (45AH) and fits.
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’d go for Vatra. Massively popular in Finland where it often gets lower than -30 in winters. I had mine on an F10 and the car was stationary for 2 weeks with average temp of around -15 degrees. Zero problem
Assuming that it's a hybrid and not a PHEV it should run you about $2,500 to have it done professionally, or less than $1000 to do it yourself. At least that was my experience with my Prius.
Am luat una noua, Varta. Firma, calitate ????. Am luat-o acum 2 ani, start-stop a mers fix 3-4 luni, si acum, mai ales cand e frig, se chinuie.
