    I got the red triangle week on dash last week, carried it to the dealer they said it was the hybrid battery and for $3700 they ccould fix it right up. Well it's a 2005 with 78,000 miles, the car hasn't had any problems but I went out one morning and the warning light was on. I was thinking of trying to find the bad cell myself and buying the charger/balancer and trying to fix myself.
    Is there anyone in my area that has done this ?
