Friends: 1 | Re: HV Battery Failing Correct, the battery made it a long time, and it won't cost too much for a used battery. Perhaps my mpgs will go up as well. |

Friends: 0 | Re: HV Battery Failing I would suggest checking salvage yards, not many places ship them cheaply though. I ended up picking up a 07 prius battery for 150, and a 05 prius battery for 250 to rebuild my 01 prius battery. |

Friends: 37 | Re: HV Battery Failing You know, magruder, if you have the cash and interest another alternative would be to take this as an opportunity for a PHEV conversion using the Luscious Garage battery that replaces the OEM battery. Luscious Garage PHEV system REPLACES Prius Pack |

Friends: 0 | Re: HV Battery Failing Hi Magruder, I was wondering if you've been able to test that the battery terminals and connections are still in good condition. I mean have you definitely ruled out a high resistance connection as a possible cause of the problem at this point? Last edited by uart; 09-29-2009 at 11:58 AM. |

Good question, A few months ago I did do this. The connections were nice and clean, and I did clean what little corrosion existed. | |

The 12 volt battery was replaced with a factory battery in February. | |
