    Can you use Gen III HV battery cells in a gen II Prius?

    From what I have read they will fit in a gen2 case and they should be better than the gen 2 modules as they have a lower internal resistance, but they have not had the real life testing that the gen2 modules have so life expectancy is unknown.
