    The traction battery drains quickly when I accelerate aggressively, but then charges normally.
    Keeps energy well when driving calmly. What you thing, is this time for total or partially replacement
    of modules?
    Thanks

    Could very well be have you ran the doctor Prius advanced test or any kind of advanced test on the hybrid battery there are several programs? I don't know them all. How about just not beating on it . I'm sure this is with everything on AC and all that stuff so you know. It is summer . Energy storage do not like hi heat. So if you can't live with it then yes you can play whack a mole or replace factory .
