    That's what I was afraid of, because Prius battery is bigger than Prius C battery.

    I think you need the bracket to hold the battery securely in place for safety reason. Not sure if you could bend it a little bit?

    Does it come with a vent hole?

    Just curious why not to get the Prius C battery from Toyota dealer? It should be an easy fit.

    You mean the Prius c battery is smaller than the Prius? Ya wish I knew that before hand #facepalm. And I thought I’d be clever and buy aftermarket to save $110 from the dealer. Jokes on me :(:(

    Wong,

    Just bend the bracket a little bit.

    Several of us did it this way.

    Thanks for the suggestion @RobAustin, I bent the bracket and was able to secure the battery in place. Took a bit of blood, sweat and tears but happy I managed to install it all on my own!

    Did you ever find this? I lost them as well!
    Thanks, Bill
