What's the best way to get a battery these days? I do see Green Bean offering a sodium battery for around $2k, but lots of unhappy customers. I do see people selling batteries on EBAY for about $850 "remanufactured". What has anyone done with refurbished batteries and how did they work out? I do remember there was a lithium battery, but it seems that didn't make it. All the latest/greatest batteries seem to have no supply, which tells me they really don't work well enough. Just curious to here perspectives. Assume your battery needs replacement today. What do you do?
I personally would search for a junkyard deal. One good option would be something like my scrapped 2017 Prius Two that had the NiMH battery but was scrapped at 50K miles. The Prius One and Two (not Two Eco) had NiMH batteries. I do not know how that translated to the later Gen 4 Trim names.
