    Hi everybody,

    I have oportunity to buy relatively cheap (~500 USD) 2014 Prius+ battery.
    As far as I understand European Prius+ is US Prius v model?
    Will battery modules fit my 2010 Gen III Prius?
    I can expect some battery problems in the nearest future after using Enginer kit for almost 3 years and PIS kit for 1 year up to now.

    Regards,
    Jacek.

    The NiMH batteries are the same

    I thought the Prius+ used Li-Ion batteries. The US Prius v does not.

    You could not use Li-Ion Prius+ cells in a 2010 Gen III Prius if I'm right.

    The P/N of the HV battery assembly is G9280-47190.
    How to recognize is it ni-mh or li-ion?

    Thank you,
    Jacek.

    Li-Ion batteries, I didn't expect that.
    I thought that only the PiP will carry Li-Ion.

    The european version of the v (the "+") has third row seating. They used a Li-Ion battery to provide the space for that.

    Yes, but Prius+ Li-Ion battery pack is only 1kWh (similar to NiMH in standard Prius) when PiP is 4.4Kwh as fa r as I know.
