Toyota Prius Hybrid Battery Rebuild Review

• The Toyota Prius hybrid battery eventually runs
  out of juice and cannot be recharged. Sure, the
  adverts about how they recharge themselves when
  running are very compelling, but what happens
  when they die - as all car batteries do? This
  aspect of the Prius hybrid was not so well
  advertised!
• This revolutionary hybrid car attracted the
  attention of many people, particularly those
  needing to be seen to be green. Just like
  anything new, unexpected problems can develop
  later, and with the Prius batteries this was
  their rechargeable lifetime.

• The car is powered by a petrol engine and
  electric motor that interchange according to the
  demand. 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. The car switches
  to petrol once the battery is exhausted, and
  reverts to electric mode when the battery is
  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 as a normal car battery has to be replaced
  occasionally. It is not the power of the battery
  that starts to fail, but its ability to recharge,
  so a fully-charged battery becomes weaker with
  age.
• You should see this in terms of your fuel
  consumption starting to rise as the petrol engine
  is forced to kick in more often. While a regular
  battery eventually dies when you continually
  overcharge it, Toyota Prius batteries lose their
  strength because it cannot 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.
  There are also instructions available online in a
  commercial PDF eBook that explain to you how to
  rebuild generation I and II Prius batteries for
  under 350 - saving you up to 4,000 or more. The
  book also shows you how to replace your battery
  computer for 50!
