    Hello everyone. We bought a great 2007 Toyota Prius with no issues, except the stink from the hoses. I have verified that the battery hoses stink really bad. I tried to order some off eBay, but they also stink. I heard Toyota did away with these hoses in third generation Prius batteries? does that mean I’d have to upgrade to one of these types of batteries to get rid of the hoses? I take it? I can’t just remove the hoses from my current battery? what are my options to get rid of this smell? Any in all Help appreciated.
