HV battery Kit Installers in Southern California

I'm curious what you would feel is a fair price to pay for this service you're looking for? $500 is about average I think for someone to take apart a battery

 

Im not sure if you can use gen2 modules on newer gens but you might be able to use newer gen modules on gen2.

Someone who knows about gen2 may chime in and give a better answer.

 

The ,modules are the same from Toyota. Just the case is different. It's strange why Toyota charges more for the Gen3 pack vs Gen2. So basically you just transfer the modules from 1 pack to the other. This is the same with Camry Hybrids

 

Yeah bit of a hornet's nest? Especially if you expect installer to take full responsibility, for a smooth/successful install..

 

Well now that I think about it, I guess you can use gen2 modules.

I remember my pack I got in my car when I bought it had already been replaced and had modules from 2005/2007 in it.

My pack was older than my car at that point but now I am good with the Lithium battery from Dr. Prius.

 

How much was the lithium kit?

 

For gen3 it is like $2100 but if you use my link you can save some cash

 

Followed your link and found a quote on there.

"First time hitting 3 miles on pure EV mode, incredible, car drives like new and accelerate faster then new. Thank you Dr. Prius

Larry Chen, Temple City, CA"

I'm a bit skeptical about this, 3 miles with EV on our Prius in Temple City CA? Where the heck can he go that far with speeds under 25mph?

Anyways, good additional option. Just not sure of the claims on the site

 

Yea your miles may vary as you can get 6 or more miles in EV with it.

I need to record a video in EV mode and show how it does extend the mileage in EV

 

Back to the OPs topic.

I would be willing to help you with this swap. But what you're describing will take some time to remove and disassemble. It's not straight forward as a regular battery swap.

You would most likely need to do this at a location other than your apartment building. Downtime would be a few hours

 

Availability? Meaning did you already buy a battery/do you have the replacement?

REVVL V+ 5G ?

 

right on!

 

Lol, it only takes two hours... I charge a bit under $100 to do it... It's astonishing how much people expect to pay to do very simple nuts & bolts work on a car.

 

Go with PriusCamper you can not beat under $100 to do that.

 

Are you talking about a gen2 prius? It’s back breaking work

 

They don’t care what you give back to them, as long as they are original modules.

 

Not really back breaking work at all after you've pulled packs more than four dozen times... Takes 15 minutes to pull the pack, 45 minutes to build out the new pack, 45 minutes to install pack and put car back together and 15 minutes to a 1/2 hour for unexpected hassles. I got references of people I've done this for if you live near me...

 

But they aren't gonna get out a magnifying glass and confirm the serial numbers on each of the 28 modules, so as long as they look like original modules you'll be fine.
