Hybrid Battery Module Interchangability

Now that Gen 2 Prius hybrid batteries are reaching (have reached in my case) their end of life, many of us are searching for less expensive/long-term options for replacements. Some of us have been through this before and have weighed the options. In 2011, I ultimately chose 1-2 year old salvage modules to repack my Gen 1 battery. Fortunately, thank God, it worked for me - still driving it. Now my Gen 2 hybrid battery, after 14 years of service, has reached it's EOL. So, I'm reaching out once again to inquire whether the latest model hybrid battery modules are interchangeable in Gen 2 pack (case). Preferably not more than a couple years old. Does anybody have knowledge of this? Has anybody done it, successfully?

 

Thanks JC. I'm considering this replacement: 2017 low-mileage salvage hybrid battery for $1355 +tax. Do you recall any thread here where somebody has repacked a Gen 2 with Gen 4 NiMH modules (for my assurances before I purchase)? Another advantage with this purchase is that I can sell my old core - that is, if there is a market for it.

 

Thank you gentlemen. Very good to see what's been done by the trailblazers. I would rather have somebody other than me do the geeking-out, unfortunately I'm too far away to do business. Local Toyota dealer price is $1803 plus tax carry out. Buying salvage requires prepay before it's shipped in, then I have to somehow on the spot verify that it's what I was told? I must assume it's been sitting around for months and may need re-balanced? Not something I want to get into. Either way I suppose I should get Techstream or Torque Pro?

So big decision to save a little effort, maybe a little risk with "new" battery OR save about $485. by going with 2017 salvage modules. Hmm.
