    It says it is a 'perfect fit' for the Prius.

    If it is local:

    The size may be correct, but also verify the position of the vent, that it can reach the current vent line so you don’t have to hassle modifying the fit. (I saw someone post they couldn’t connect the vent because it was on the other side. I haven’t seen a battery with a vent only on one side, but just in case)....
