    I'm looking for a safe hybrid battery for a 2011 Toyota Prius.
    I’ve read about Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) vs. sodium-ion cell batteries. Do you have any recommendations/experience? Is a sodium-ion cell battery a good option for the Prius?

    Do you have any experience with these hybrid battery options? thehybridgeek or greentecauto

    Hi mudder - saw your youtube video - could you please give some feedback?

    Thanks,
    Gerald

    The one from Toyota has always been safe.

    Sodium Ion is a Great choice. Mine have worked flawlessly
    during heat and humidity and cold.
    Very stable and a great upgrade from the nimh pack.

    I am curious how many miles you have on the car?

    Does it have the original hybrid battery?

    Did you get the P0A80 trouble code?
