    Hi Mendel, you’ve always been helpful when I’ve asked you a question. After just over 10 years 8 months and over 160,000 miles, the 12 volt battery on our 2014 Prius has finally failed. So, I’m looking at options. AAA wants $250 for their replacement, Costco wants $180 for theirs (Interstate). Do you recommend either of these or another brand? Thanks for any advice. Cheers, Dave

      Dealerships up here are absurdly high priced, even just for the battery. Still, they may have memory, they’re nothing special.

      Turns out my dealer was just under $216 for a True Start w/84 mo warranty. They gave me a military discount, so just over $194 plus tax. They also said I could start the car, let it run and change the battery without losing memory. I hesitate to do that though, so I’m waiting on the memory saver to be delivered tomorrow.

      I used a #30 lawn mower battery from Walmart for more than 3 years on my 2005 Prius. In this one my son bullied me into purchasing a $150 bat. from Walmart. I had to only make minor changes on the battery post connections. With this battery I feel free to help jump start someone in need.

    Hey PC! Saw your question in my thread.

    I was just fine until last October, then I was hit with a bunch of problems. Between work & juggling the onslaught of problems, I had to put YouTube videos aside for a bit. But they'll be back soon.

    Still in my car & love it. April 11th will be the 3 year anniversary.

    This forum needs to hire you as a mod or something. Your knowledge is quite amazing when it comes to Prius'

    Hi Bisco. Sorry to bother you. Would you be able to look at my post on leaking brake fluid and offer any advice?

    I sent a note to the moderator about a duplicate post. I also asked the moderator how they are doing.
