Hybrid battery replacement after 213,000 miles

I have owned my 2008 Prius for 4 years and have put about 80K miles on it. Recently my battery was draining from 6 or 7 bars down to 1 or 2 in about 3 blocks when I first started driving after the car had sit for more than a few hours. My gas mileage was down from about 45 or 46 to about 42 or 43. It was clear the hybrid battery was nearing its useful life. I couldn't complain as my car had 213,000 miles on it.
I was researching getting a refurbished battery from several different sources and found a guy who did it installed for under $1000. (PHOENIX HYBRID BATTERIES) Steve came to my house on a Sunday and installed the battery in about 2 hours. He showed me a test before and after and we took a test drive together. My Prius drives like a new car now. Hard accelerations barely budge the battery where as before would drain it fast.
Everything else about my car is in very good shape and now I expect to get another 100,000 or even 200,000 miles from it (fingers crossed). Replacing the hybrid battery isn't a scary and daunting as I was lead to believe and breathes new life into a great car.

 

Yes, he cleaned the air blower. He has great reviews online and said he has only had one warranty repair. I felt a lot better working with someone local who did the referb himself vs. some unknown place on ebay.
