How to Rebuild Your Toyota Prius Hybrid Battery

• Toyota Prius batteries do not last forever.
  While the Toyota Prius was well marketed, and the
  advertising focuses a great deal on how the
  batteries recharge themselves, there are certain
  aspects of them that were not so well advertised
  - or perhaps not so well known at the time.
• The hybrid car was regarded as a green
  revolution, attracting a great deal of attention,
  particularly that of those that had a need to be
  seen to be acting green as well as talking it.
  Just like anything new, unexpected problems can
  develop later, and with the Prius batteries this
  was their rechargeable lifetime.

• The Toyota Prius has an electric motor and a
  regular petrol (gas) engine that operate
  independently according to the demand placed on
  the car. Without getting too technical, the
  Toyota Prius battery powers the motor in electric
  mode, and is being recharged when the car is
  running from the regular petrol engine. Once the
  battery has run down, the petrol engine kicks in
  and recharges the electric battery while the car
  is running, and the electric motor then takes
  over when recharged.

Why Prius Batteries Fail

• The reason for the Toyota Prius battery rebuild
  being needed is that the sealed nickel-metal
  hydride battery does not have an unlimited life -
  just the same as an ordinary automobile battery
  must be renewed now and again. When the Prius
  battery fails it is not because it loses power as
  such, but because it loses its ability to be
  completely recharged when running so it gradually
  loses power over time.
• This will manifest itself in an increase in fuel
  consumption as the petrol engine has to do an
  increasing amount of the work. Regular batteries
  will eventually die out if they are continually
  being overcharged, whereas Toyota Prius hybrid
  batteries die out because they are unable to be
  charged enough. Eventually, they will completely
  die out, and you have only two options buy a new
  or rebuilt battery or rebuild it yourself.

Toyota Prius Battery Price

• Toyota Prius battery replacements are priced at
  anything from 2,200 to 5,000 depending on where
  you are, what generation of Prius you are using
  and what your garage charges. This is a high
  price to pay for a replacement, but there is a
  much cheaper solution to your problem if you want
  to consider it rebuild it.
• You will find a fair bit of advice on the
  internet regarding this, but it can be very basic
  and not easy enough to understand to enable you
  to do it yourself - you only have to make one
  error and your battery will be ruined forever and
  you will be faced with an expensive replacement.

• You can purchase an eBook online that charges
  350 for showing you how to rebuild generation 1
  and 2 Prius batteries - potentially saving you
  over 4,000. This eBook also gives you
  instructions on how you can replace your battery
  computer for 50!
• When you rebuild a Toyota Prius hybrid battery,
  even if you have detailed instructions to help
  you, the hardest part is removing the battery
  from the car - man, that's really heavy, although
  you should manage it fine with two of you. If you
  need help, you also get an email help desk -
  though that shouldn't be necessary.
