    Could some post the link to the company that is creating the new prius traction battery, I found it searching on here a couple weeks ago, now cannot find it. Its the battery that's suppose to be like the honda insight battery. Thank you

    I think RAM2940 probably means this: NewPriusBatteries.com | Home

    Instead of prismatic (rectangular shaped) cells, like the original Prius battery, it uses cylindrical cells packaged lengthwise into modules, like the Honda batteries.


    Hi RAM2940, the owner of this company, who is also a PriusChat member, is known here as 2k1Toaster and has started some threads about his batteries here:

    Prius Battery Replacement Kit (GenII/GenIII) with NEW custom cells

    Prius Battery Replacement (GenII) Like you've never seen - NEW Cylindrical Cells


    But there are also a couple other companies with similar batteries.
