HV battery died today, where to get new OEM cells

I have been searching for hours, I can not seem too get a good idea of where to find new OEM cells. I did see people using gen 4 cells from a part #G9510-47130 battery pack but that's rolling the dice. I found a couple on eBay in the 2500 dollar range. I need to order some form of new battery cells ASAP as I need the car to go to work. Before you ask I did scan it with TECHSTREAM and got both P0A80 "Replace hybrid battery pack" as well as P3014 "Battery block 4 becomes weak" and the battery is so far gone that when I accelerate from 0-30 it goes to 1 bar then when I stop from 30 it recharges, it is also fluctuating full to 1 bar and back a lot just cruising, got the triangle of death, cleared both errors but there is no way it is going to last any longer.

Please help me find something that will last more than a couple years

 

I will follow up but these guys are coming with a brand new gen 4 pack day after tomorrow with a lifetime warranty to pull mine out and install the new one, thank you very much for the recommendation PriusCamper!

 

Yes and yes, supposedly they buy them brand new from Toyota and install them. I made the stipulations that they crack the case before they install them so I can see how the modules are branded/arranged so I know that I am getting new OEM cells. To be honest I only care that they are OEM and NEW for the price that I am getting. They have 100% yelp feedback with over 800 all positive comments too. I will post back about the experience, it looks promising but we shall see.

 

I am glad you brought this up, I was told that they buy the new unit then install their own brand new board in it so it comes with everything even the blower motor assembly so all they do once here is swap the entire unit at once. I will be taking pictures of the install and sharing them here. Thanks again for the info, kind of thinking the gen 4 claim is bogus and I am just getting OEM gen 2 cells but only time will tell, either way having new OEM will make this car last another 16 years battery wise so I won't grumble too much if that is what I get.

 

Not my first rodeo but thanks for the advice. I have a side by side comparison picture of 2nd and 4th gen cells so I can tell the difference. I read hundreds of positive yelp reviews with pictures from real users who praised this company for honoring their warranty and a great product. I will be diligent, they are going to open the case before install tomorrow so I can check the serial numbers. The only thing I am 50-50 on is if they will be gen 2 or gen 4, if so bonus, if not I am ok with brand new OEM cells. I don't have to pay until I check the goods out and actually pretty sure I pay after they install it and everything works, I have techstream on a tablet ready to go.

 

I talked to their CEO last night at 9pm, he knew his stuff. All in all it is 2700 out the door installed tomorrow with a lifetime warranty, I will let you all know how it turns out after install tomorrow I am goin g to drive it 50-60 miles as soon as they are done. I was surprised by their outstanding yelp reviews, with pictures I might add. I am excited to see what they bring me tomorrow!

 

Their refurbs are like 1600, I budgeted 2300 for the Nexcell lithium cells but they are sold out until February and my battery died yesterday and I needed a quick turnaround. It is a little steep but how much does peace of mind cost these days, super down with it.

 

I am buying brand new OEM battery

 

Those batteries cost 2200.00 plus tax and a 400 core charge for an "unmolested complete battery pack" means that if I put the new batteries into my cage they can tell me sorry were keeping your core you sent us AND not giving you the money back BUT even if I get the core back it ties up 400 bucks of mine for a week or two and I have to wait longer and do the work myself. For 100 more I can get gen 4 cells in a brand new case with brand new everything (bus bars, circuit board, wires, fan motor, fan housing and case) installed tomorrow afternoon in front of my house and drive into the sunset with my lifetime warranty.

That was one of the first videos I checked out. My last OEM batteries went just over 200k miles over 16 years, I want new OEM again please.
