    Hello All,

    Recently I bought 2002 Prius, which has 119K on it.
    How would I come to know about life of Hybrid battery (Used for running) and what could be the replacement cost.
    I saw a article Toyota Prius hits 200,000 miles keeps on going - Mar. 4, 2011
    which says it can go till 200K and still running.

    Can I go for any formal checkup for my car's battery, to know the condition of the battery.
    Suggestions please..............


    Thanks
    Naga

    Age has a lot to do with battery condition. I would plan for a battery replacement within the next 5 years.
