    I'm looking at buying a leftover 2012 Prius v Five. I've got a nagging question in the back of my mind about whether a car sitting on a lot for that long may be likely to have batter cell issues down the road. Does anyone have any information on the potential of effects on battery cells if a Prius is not operated for long periods of time?

    Maybe a concern for the 12 volt, but only if they have jumped it a few times or let it go dead for a long period.

    Maybe ask for a new 12 volt and let them put this one in some car they are sending to auction.
