Can I purchase a new HV Battery?

2017 Prime should be under warranty.

I would guess that Toyota treats the Prime as they treat all the rest. The battery is a part and the dealership can order. Most dealerships will refuse to order for you. As with the earlier Prii in 2004 all the new packs are probably going into cars, none are sitting on a parts shelf. So to order you would need to find a willing dealership, pay full market price plus a core charge, and then Toyota will allocate one from the assembly line and ship out to you, perhaps months later.

 

Toyota doesn't sell batteries to the general public. But I can't fathom why you would want to buy one. Even my 2013 battery is still under warranty.

As for the 1st Gen plug-in, I've only heard of one going bad and it was under warranty. The owner had to wait a while for the replacement to arrive. I just did some searching for that thread and can't find it right now.

 

welcome!
what does, 'i am looking to service the whole hv battery assembly' mean?
afaik, toyota doesn't service the modules, the dealers just replace entire packs.

 

Can you please elaborate on how the battery has been after 200k miles?? That’s incredible for one year. You’ve been driving almost 600 miles everyday. I can’t imagine the toll on your battery in that span of time.

 

never mind your back.

at that kind mileage, doesn't the battery get very little use?

 

lessee, 30 miles per charge, minimum 2 hour per charge so.........200,000 /30 =6666.666666 charges at 2 hours each so 13,333.333333 hours /24 hours 555 days

 

Hope you’ll share with us how you managed to accumulate that many miles in a year!

 

The battery would have been used as much as a normal Prius but I imagine only in its lower 30% as it always operated as an HV.

Maybe using it in perpetual hybrid mode does more harm to the battery than regularly topping it off?

 

First, congrats are in order for being the first to break the 200K barrier, and so soon.

Likely, the mileage negates any hybrid/traction battery warranty, if it comes up.

Yet, I am perplexed with the question and answers thus far from the OP. Assuming you have had the Prime for one full year since last November's rollout = 365 days (or less?). I will assume you have at least one day off per week. That's driving 638 miles per day. Assuming you might charge twice per day at L2 speeds (another 4.2 hours to do that), your driving days with charging times would need to be ~13 hours long. EV would get you 1/7 of a tank in range at most at highway speeds with two full charges/day, unless you do something special like operating in charge mode often, and using even more gas to do it. At two charges per day and 1/7 * 200,000 miles, that's less than 30,000 miles in EV mode. Impressive, but would that kill a one year old traction battery? Doubt it. Tesla's are good for >250,000 miles of pure EV usage, with only 7% degradation. And that's for the older 5 year tech.

Why a Prime? Gas mileage?

 

I think some PiP batteries came up on EBay early on, I guess from wrecks.

 

WOW!!!
Do you drive all day on the Interstate? I can see why you're concerned about the battery, but I would think that it can't have had many full range cycles. Probably loafing compared to the average Prime.

 

...may want get some help from TampaPrius if that is the correct user name, he could maybe advise on this

 

I have seen your question come up before on other plug-in forums with similar results on (not) getting a new one. Those folks have found the best avenue is to buy a fresh one out of a salvaged car.

 

The good thing about that is they are cheap since nobody needs a new battey yet (except for OP)

 

The bad thing is that there are so few on the road that you will have to be patience in waiting for one to become available.

 

^^Catch-22. I'd say call Toyota HQ as they may be interested in testing the batt

 

No waiting needed, just your wallet: $2,100.
