Replacing Hybrid Battery

No. You do not have any DIY experience with automobiles, so this would be a very bad decision. From your other thread:https://priuschat.com/index.php?posts/3467211

 

Shop around for oem prices, or find a decent rebuilder like @ericbecky or @Texas Hybrid Batteries

 

No. Your hybrid battery is 99% sure to be better than a junkyard one off of eBay.

Many Toyota dealers sell new for $2000 if you have someone to install. Some used batteries are slightly improved by rebuilders to last a year or two. For maybe $1800. A new one will last more than ten years.

Autozone is probably the worst place for hybrid advice. They often know less than nothing when they give bad advice.

Sometimes you can do a little shopping and call shops that advertise (Google it) hybrid repair. Often they are small shops that don’t look like much but they know Toyota hybrids.



This guy is a one man show near me working in old gas station with a lift. Do you notice anything about his parking lot? Quality at half the price has them lining up.

In your case I would get the car to a Toyota dealer (assuming you can’t find an independent specialist) and pay $200 for a diagnostic. Be prepared to retrieve the car if it’s not something simple. Then report back.

 

I fear for you if by Brooklyn you're in the downstate area, not that update is much better, but finding an inexpensive shop with decent quality isn't going to be easy.
I ask if you're downstate because lately I'm noticing there are brooklyns in almost every state these days.
I did a search using "toyota hybrid repair specialist in the brooklyn ny area"
Kinda slim pickins but I'll post some links anyways, not that I'd recommend one over another ....
