    In an attempt to get a feel for the life of the HV battery I'm starting this thread to have people post their mileage and whether or not they've replaced their HV battery. Please only post if your car has significant mileage (80k+) since the number of early failures are statistically small. The following information would be nice:

    Year:
    Mileage:
    Length of ownership/original mileage (for used vehicles):
    Replaced HV battery/when this occurred:



    I'll start:

    Year: 2005
    Mileage: 120k
    Length of Ownership/original mileage: Bought used 1.5 years ago with 100k.
    Have NOT replaced HV batter

    Can each of you also add if it was covered by Toyota's warranty? Thanks!
