What If You Don't Have Time To Fix Your Battery?
~Just Another Unlucky Prius Owner? My Story~
Two Months later, I had to take the car to my local Toyota dealership because none of the local shops would work on the car.
$3450?
They said it couldn’t be rebuilt.
I didn’t believe them.
I Needed to Talk to Some Experts.
I spent time with retired mechanics and discussed the procedures with techs that weren’t afraid to get their hands dirty and save their customers money…Lots of money.
I rebuilt my own battery pack and saved $3450.
You don’t have to do the research.

What Are People Saying About The Guide?
I went Green to save money on gas, nobody told me I was going to have a $4,000 dollar problem after 7 years! This guide saved me a TON of money!
" I woke up one day, and my worst fear was realized when I went out to start my 2001 Toyota Prius, but it wouldn't start!? I saw the dreaded TRIANGLE OF DEATH and my screen showed the MAIN Warning Light. After a trip to Toyota I had to face the reality that my hybrid battery bit the dust :(
I decided to go online and all I couldn't find anything about rebuilding the batteries and the Hybrid Mechanic said It couldn't be done. I came across this Guide and decided to give it a try.
A few days later after picking up the parts, and driving a borrowed car, I rebuilt my battery and put it back in my car and UREKA!! SUCCESS!!
I ended up rebuilding my battery for close to $500, plus the cost of the guide which is worth its weight in gold! "
Thanks For The Help!

I was told you couldn't rebuild Hybrid batteries but this guide makes it very easy.
I am so glad I didn't have to pay big $$$ to get my car back on the road.
Thanks a TON!
They estimated the repair at around $3,400! I couldn't believe that because of a few bad cells they had to replace the whole battery.
I did a little research and found this website.I thought it was worth a shot. The repairs would have only cost me around $100 but I decided to replace all of the cells to avoid doing it later (the car has just under 150k miles) and it only cost me $600 to replace all of the cells!
I think I used less then 10 hand tools total when I rebuilt my hybrid battery!
Thank You!

"Just completed my first rebuild of a Prius battery (2001). Followed the guide. All went well, except that we didn't get one of the wiring plugs fully seated, so the car didn't perform as expected. We were able to remove the cover within the car and found the problem. Car now runs well. All seems to be normal.
Hardest steps were getting battery pack out of, then back into the car. It's heavy and in an awkward place. But we did it. The rebuild itself was pretty straightforward. We spread the work over three days due to other commitments.
Located good used batteries from Toyota Vlad's Toys in West Sacramento, CA. Purchased '07 and '08 batteries (one each) from wrecked Priuses at $200 each. Used all 28 of the '08 cells and 10 of the '07 cells to rebuild the '01 pack (38 cells). New cells presented a tight fit, as stated in the notes, but it works. Measured voltage of each cell to confirm good condition before putting cover back on. (Also tested all cells of the original '01 battery. It had only one bad cell, with only a slightly low voltage, but that was enough to cause warning signals and performance problems.)
Tyler of hybridbatteryrebuild.com provided good support, with quick responses to my emails with helpful answers to my questions.
My friend and I actually enjoyed the experience. Of course, it helps that it turned out well. :-)"
