[quote=Anonymous]The battery in my 2005 Prius went bad about two years ago. There was one bad cell and two more that were borderline (out of 28 total cells). Fortunately, there are lots of videos online about how to deal with this. I bought three replacement cells on eBay and pulled the battery pack and replaced them myself. It took about five hours of work over the course of a week and my out of pocket cost was about $200. That generation of Prius has been around for a while and there are companies who will replace your battery pack for $1000-$2000. They will either do the same thing that I did or just swap the battery pack for one that they rebuilt. Dealerships are like France - a place where rich people go. Two years later, my Prius just keep rolling along with no issues. And what did I do with the old battery cells? Did I throw them into the Chesapeake Bay? No, of course not. I took them to one of the locations associated with Call2recycle.org[/quote]
