When the Prius first came on market, I was curious and googled what it would cost to replace the batteries. I recall it was about $7,000 Australian dollars. This means after your warranty is up, your Prius is heading for the junk yard ;( A top quality car battery should last at least 5 years and even 6, 7 or 8 years, I don't think it has as much to do with miles as time. I suspect the prius hybrid battery would have a similar life span. And the battery could cost anywhere from $4,800 to $7,000 USD according to this site. Maybe the after market guys will get in there and make a cheaper battery. http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2007/07/used_hybrids.html |
