    Had P0A80 code and battery was replaced. Code came back shortly after the new battery was put in. I'm trying to figure out if the cause of the code was actually the battery or if something else triggered it. I have no idea how to interpret these readings. Can you guys tell me what these two pictures tell me about the batteries?

    The P0A80 code is caused by a problem with the hybrid battery. Where did you buy the "new" hybrid battery from and how much did you pay for it? I hope it came with a good warranty. How many miles on the car?

    Which battery did you replace? The 12v or the Hybrid Battery?

    Was it a NEW battery pack, or refurbished? HUGE difference.
    Did you replace it, or have someone do it?
    Is it the Sodium Ion pack from Jack?

    Who diagnosed the issue? How did they do it? Where there other codes?
    Other issued can trigger that code and it not be the hybrid battery.
    Where all the codes cleared before and after replace the battery?
    Was/is the 12v battery FULLY charged?

    Well over 200k on car. Greenbean. They installed. The middle option: Hybrid Battery Options for Prius 2010-2015 | Green Bean Battery. Yes warranty. Yes other codes were B1423 and B1498 (when engine was replaced 3-4 years ago, they somehow messed up the a/c, so it hasn't worked since) and C1259 and C1310 (not currently active, but were stored a month or so ago). TBH, the C codes now have me worrying about the inverter as the issue rather than the battery, which is why I'm asking.
    Where all the codes cleared before and after replace the battery? I am not sure. They did the replacement and I'm obviously pretty ignorant of these things.
    Was/is the 12v battery FULLY charged? Again, I'm not certain.

    What can you tell me about the battery readings? Are they bad enough to trigger the P0A80 code or is likely the inverter or something else?

    Sorry, ASRDogman. I think I replied to some of your questions in the wrong post, but I think I answered them above. Can you share any insight on the readings or the situation? Thank you.
