Recently we treated the Prius to a brand new 12v battery...We paid £200 for a Toyota 12v battery fitted by Toyota. I have taken the car to Toyota only 3 timed since 2008 as they are expensive and push the work...After a couple of days for the first time ever the Prius was not at all well. This was 6 weeks ago...Since then she has gone to Toyota twice...once to check the installation of the new 12v battery and the second time last Monday for a diagnostic inspection to trace the cause....they failed!
