Hi all, I am dealing with a possible failure of my 2005 Gen 2 hybrid battery. The car has 190,000 miles on it. I replaced the hybrid battery in late 2017 with a reconditioned 2013 battery from Electron Automotive in Anaheim, and it has done very well until now. I'm not going to do the install myself, so that should eliminate a lot of options. I'm located in Los Angeles. OPTIONS: 1. Going back to Electron. I am not unhappy with the life of my current battery from them, which lasted 8 years. Electron now sells these brand new CYLINDRICAL CELL BATTERIES, which they apparently make themselves, and which run around $2700. Electron claims they are at least as good as OEM, if not better. Any thoughts on this? 2. Could get a Toyota OEM battery installed. 3. Get someone who can repair/replace bad cells in my current battery? (I'm not too inclined to do this). 4. Other suggestions welcome.
