    I am not saying dr Prius is wrong. It’s just that its focus is only the battery OBD values. It is not the full story.

    Update:
    it turns out its most likely because the new battery is a lithium - ion battery while it should be acid battery. didnt know that you can put a different type of battery in a certain car. I called previous owner and this battery in fact is a lithium ion battery. For now i dont have money to replace the battery but when i will keep observing the situation and when i solve it, i will post update for people looking for solution in the future.
