Are the 12 volt and traction batteries the same in the gen 3 prius 2,3 and 4?

    Just a question I wonder about in my tiny mind. If the batteries are the same in all the Prius shouldn't the ones in the Prius II last longer since they have less extras and therefore less load on them (like for running navigation and other options). Or is there a flaw in that assumption?

    yes, the same. the load from accessories like that are so small, the effect on lifespan will be negligible.
