How to Rebuild Your Toyota Prius Hybrid Battery Toyota Prius batteries do not last forever. While the Toyota Prius was well marketed, and the advertising focuses a great deal on how the batteries recharge themselves, there are certain aspects of them that were not so well advertised - or perhaps not so well known at the time. The hybrid car was regarded as a green revolution, attracting a great deal of attention, particularly that of those that had a need to be seen to be acting green as well as talking it. Just like anything new, unexpected problems can develop later, and with the Prius batteries this was their rechargeable lifetime.
The Toyota Prius has an electric motor and a regular petrol (gas) engine that operate independently according to the demand placed on the car. Without getting too technical, the Toyota Prius battery powers the motor in electric mode, and is being recharged when the car is running from the regular petrol engine. Once the battery has run down, the petrol engine kicks in and recharges the electric battery while the car is running, and the electric motor then takes over when recharged.
Why Prius Batteries Fail The reason for the Toyota Prius battery rebuild being needed is that the sealed nickel-metal hydride battery does not have an unlimited life - just the same as an ordinary automobile battery must be renewed now and again. When the Prius battery fails it is not because it loses power as such, but because it loses its ability to be completely recharged when running so it gradually loses power over time. This will manifest itself in an increase in fuel consumption as the petrol engine has to do an increasing amount of the work. Regular batteries will eventually die out if they are continually being overcharged, whereas Toyota Prius hybrid batteries die out because they are unable to be charged enough. Eventually, they will completely die out, and you have only two options: buy a new or rebuilt battery or rebuild it yourself.
Toyota Prius Battery Price Toyota Prius battery replacements are priced at anything from $2,200 to $5,000 depending on where you are, what generation of Prius you are using and what your garage charges. This is a high price to pay for a replacement, but there is a much cheaper solution to your problem if you want to consider it: rebuild it. You will find a fair bit of advice on the internet regarding this, but it can be very basic and not easy enough to understand to enable you to do it yourself - you only have to make one error and your battery will be ruined forever and you will be faced with an expensive replacement.
