Question Battery Replacement?

Hello,

I have a 2005 Prius with about 85000 miles. I am wondering if I'll have to replace the expensive battery soon (100K). Has anyone had to replace their battery yet? If so, what was the cost?

Thanks,
Scott

Default Re: Battery Replacement?

are you talking about the traction battery or the small startup battery?
The Traction battery (the expensive one) should last the entire life of the car.
The 12V startup battery should last about 3 - 5 years.
