    I just found out about the Dr. Prius app and plugged my mx into my Prius and found out 2 cells are shot on my Prius and wondering what the best solution is to fixing it? Can I just buy the 2 cells that are "dead" and get by for another 10000 or more miles? I dont have alot of dough right now but wanna get it back up and running Screenshot_20191130-163412_Dr%20Prius.jpg

    you can try, but no one can guarantee longevity. could last a day, year or more. if you dont have cash, but you do have time, a better method would be to properly rebalance everything after replacing the bad modules

    What does that consist of? Require a special charger? I'm pretty sure Chrisfix has a video online on how to take the battery out...
