How much does a Toyota Prius battery upgrade cost?
I have an older Prius, but I’m super attached to it. I don’t want to get a new vehicle, but it’s no longer under warranty and the battery is on its last leg. What does a Toyota Prius battery upgrade cost?

As one of the OG hybrid vehicles, there are a plentiful number of

aftermarket battery options. For a Toyota Prius battery upgrade, you should expect to pay between $2,200 and $4,100. When the Prius first hit the market in 2000, Toyota used a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery pack to power the car. In 2015, they began opting for a lithium-ion battery pack instead for its lighter weight and higher energy-storing capacity. NiMH batteries were still used after 2015, though, mostly in all-wheel drivetrains.
So, if you check your owner’s manual and see that you’ve got a NiMH battery powering your Prius, you may want to seriously consider getting a new aftermarket battery. Chances are, if you’ve got one with this kind of battery, its 10 year / 100,000 warranty is nearly up, anyways. Although it will cost you a decent chunk of change, it may be worth it to help keep your vehicle on the road longer as opposed to purchasing a new one outright.
