    SIGH... but thanks again for your good counsel. Learned so much through this episode.. the very first real repair in 5 years' ownership!

    Your now good for at leased another five years. At your low mileage it would be good for the 12v battery if you could put it on a battery tender (charger of not more than 4amps but 1 or 2amps would be fine) every 4 to 6weeks over night just to keep it topped up.

    You've got 5 years & 100000 miles before the last of the warranty expires. The problem with being a Prius Repairman is that there aren't many repairs.

    The 12v Prius battery is a standard Japanese size not readily available in the USA. Optima & the Toyota dealer are the only two in the game.
