Should I try to replace the hybrid battery AGAIN?

Going to get a $1k 3rd gen battery that will get a 3 year warranty at some point over this summer. I'm not sure how my guy is making money honestly. Thanks for offering though.

I currently have an ad in the private sales forum...have you seen it?

Gen 3 starts with 2010. Ask him for 2015 or 2016 modules. Those are Gen 3 also. I can build a "Gen 3" module pack for a Gen 2 Prius all day long and make $$$$ all day long at a "K" a pop. Trust me, he's not losing money selling a "Gen 3" model at $1k.
Ask him for 100% new Toyota wire sensor harness, busbars, fasteners and cables. Not re-used, original with corrosion cleaned off, hairlined cracked crimps wire harness that's a step away from arc over at the ECU connector.
Ask him to connect techstream to your car and show you everything about your old battery and why it "has problems".
Ask him to do a health check on your car using techstream. Ask him to discuss with you any codes and freeze frame data.
Ask him to go on a test drive with you with techstream connected to show you everything about the new battery to prove how good it is.
Ask him if he'll call to check on you now and then just to make sure everything is going well on your end.
Ask him to bring an electronic battery tester to give you a health check on your 12v battery.

Ask him how many warranty claims he has had to take care of.
Ask him if he knows how many died just out of warranty.
Ask him how many customers he has that have had repeat visits.
Ask him how many times he's rebuilt the same battery for the same customer.

I've been to Georgia 2 times in the last few weeks replacing these "rebuilt on site" HV batteries. Owners who are sick and tired of having to deal with repeated failures.

I think it's great to meet fellow forum members and help them by providing a quality battery. Even though I provide a 3 year warranty, MY goal is to never hear from them again in regard to the battery. But, I'm amazed and grateful for how many friends I've made on this forum and how many "customers/new friends" stay in contact with me just chatting/texting about Prius stuff and ANY current issues they may be having that I can provide advice about.

The goal is NOT to just have a battery with a warranty. Warranties just make people feel good. The goal is to have a battery that is sooooo damn good that it doesn't matter if it has a warranty. The goal is to have a car that you can get into EVERY....SINGLE....DAY.....and have no fear. Get in it and just drive.....with no fear of (HV battery) failure for many years, because the guy that built your battery knows what he's doing and takes pride in the fact he builds some of the BEST batteries available in the entire country..

Just FYI, we have shipped probably close to 100 packs to Hawaii so far. Most directly to the address in Hawaii, some have friends/families in the lower-48 we ship to and they just add to "care packages" that they send over every month or two anyways. Prices vary wildly between the islands for delivery, but generally $300 to $400 extra. There's also a guy, Red Fox, on the island that imports CEBA kits and does rebuilds at supposedly good quality. So if you wanted some cheaper options for a quick fix, then those exist more locally to you too.
