3rd gen battery with 2nd gen cells

hello everybody.
i have been following discusions on the priuschat site for the last 3 years.
now after my project i decided to share the results with you so i signed up here.
i own a 3rd gen prius 2011 with 325.000km. up until 2 days ago i had a bad battery. i have a carista obd with dr.prius and tourqe app.
i diagnosed 10 bad cells.
in a year and a half its gone from bad to worse. year and a half ago i had a check hybrid system error every 1000km or so.
last 6 months it went from 200km to maybe just 10km or less before it showed me the error again.
10 used cells would cost me 500eur plus work so i decided i would try doing it myself even if it kills me...
so i waited and waited and would you know it.... 5 days ago there was an ad for prius 2nd gen for parts. i bought the whole battery for 350eur because we didnt know the state it was in.
thats right! i bought 2nd gen battery.
i bought it because i wanted to see if the cell fit in 3rd gen. nobody on the forum did it yet. i already knew i can sell the shell of the battery to a service center for 200eur which i already did.
so the result:
2nd gen cells in my 3rd gen are working perfectly after two days.
it cost me 150eur plus 10eur gasoline.
did the work myself roughly 5 hours.

 

after 2 weeks im still very happy with my hybrid. cheers

 

now if i could just isolate the problem with my steering... it really pissing me off...
tooooo much electronics.

 

after one month and 2000km driven.....
still no problems.
yuuup! its still a hybrid car.
will report back about this in 5 months.
fingers crossed... or how we say in my land... hold your fists.

 

well its been 15 months. i've made a whole lot of kilometers...after the 2nd wave of corona taxi business had a 3 month boom. i admitt i've worked just about nonstop. feared of more corona waves.... made more than 30.000km in 3 months alone. in 15 months since my last post little over 60kkm. i now have almost 400kkm on my gauge and yup.... battery still working fine.
