Hybrid battery - how bout just changing bad cells without "reconditioning"?

You're better off buying a complete used battery and replace the one you have. The way you're thinking about doing it, it won't last long and with all the work involved in doing it, it might just be worthwhile to do it correctly the first time or don't do it at all. It'll be a waste of time and the problem will come back again real soon

 

The major problem is the stuck pressure release valves in each module pushing the electrolyte out through the terminal seals. The electrolyte needs to be topped up, the pressure valves feed and the module links cleaned and voltage sense wire harness replaced .... along with checking the pin stick out in the battery computer module ..... all in this post here https://priuschat.com/posts/3551878/ How to top up the electrolyte, the mix ration and how to release the pressure valves is in a thread about rehydrating battery modules Re-hydrating the battery modules. | PriusChat
