Friends: 0 |  Gen 1 Prius availability My 2001 Prius needs a new main battery and inverter, it cost too much and too little of a warranty. Any suggestions on what to do with it. It is in great shape otherwise. |

Friends: 0 | Re: Gen 1 Prius availability if u can, get two gen 2 batteries and rebuild the gen 1 pack, itll cost you less than 1000. are you sure the inverter is bad? |

Friends: 14 | Re: Gen 1 Prius availability Agreeing that diagnosing multiple failures is tricky in Prius. Make sure the 12 volt battery is right first, because a problem there can trigger DTCs in error. If problems persist, ideal would be to swap in a known-good HV battery and then re-diagnose. The largest parts listing seems to be www.car-part.com where at present, both used inverters (search: Power Inverter (Hybrid) ) and HV batteries are about $450 and up. |
