    My 12V battery went out in my 2013 Prius C Three. I just want to make sure that I'm getting the correct replacement. It's confusing on the ACDelco site as to whether this would fit. Would this one work?

    Jenwinborn,
    my local Pepboys,
    They had two that would work but were longer than stock and required the hold down bracket to be bent.
    The Optima yellow top for $300 and the Bosch that I bought;

    Bosch AGM platinum
    51-440BAGM
    S46B24R
    $195

    The bigger batteries are higher capacity than stock but you will need to gently bend the bracket.

    I did a quick check on the dimensions of the ACDB24R and I think it will be way too big.

    It seems Amazon is recommended it for the full size Prius. This might be the source of the confusion.

    Good luck!

    That battery supposedly fits Gen3 with key fob.
    I have no clue if the "c" with key fob is the same???

    I do know that Amazon says it will not fit my "c" which is a model 2, but when I change my garage to a model 3
    Amazon still says it will not fit.

    hmm. not sure if the "c" uses same for key fob or not.
    Gen3 iirc, uses two diff batts for key fob or no key fob.

    Just dont want to see you getting wrong batt that wont fit, or that might drain early from your key fob
    hope this helps
