My 2005 Toyota Prius battery lasted 58,000 miles before it died. When did your Prius battery die?

Source: Yahoo! Answers

Toyota is replacing the battery at no cost but they won't install it for 5-7 days. I should have bought a frekin Hyundai regular gasoline model.

  • Not yet, at 126K and 109K miles for the two 2002s in our family. We have gen 1 models so I expect to replace the batteries in each sometime in the next couple of years. I wouldn't trade either one of them for any car on the road - not even to get my old Lotus back. There have been occasional reports of low mileage... Read More
