    Since non of those urls for the Pep-Boys battery seem to work I was wondering if any of these are the the correct battery to fit in 2007 Touring Edition? I want to remove the old battery and and replace it with hopefully one of these without having to purchase additional equipment to get it to work is the goal please.

    just plug your model into whatever website you're looking at. there are 2 different batteries for ben 2 prius. small for non sks, and larger for sks. touring doesn't matter, though i would expect it to have sks and the larger battery.

    I have since verified. I bought a new Toyota battery on Saturday (174 + tax). It has a battery vent.

    What battery do you currently have? I had a yellow top with the larger American terminals that the previous owner converted to 8 years ago. Had to buy new terminals and a vent tube to convert back. Look at the terminals, if they look ridiculously small they are the original. If they look like every other battery you have ever seen then someone probably changed them.

    Being in Canada I don't have Pep Boys, but a few times for curiousity I've checked on batteries there, and not sure why, but their website often frustrates, but eventually I manage. As bisco says, just go to their site, plug in your car specs, and be prepared for some website run around.

    Let try this again, hopefully now with URL's,

    Since non of those urls for the Pep-Boys battery seem to work I was wondering if any of these are the the correct battery to fit in 2007 Touring Edition? I want to remove the old battery and and replace it with hopefully one of these without having to purchase additional equipment to get it to work is the goal please.

    you don't want to replace your prius battery with a tractor battery

    try batteries plus bulbs, a dealer, on line or an auto parts store
