Most Prius batteries last well over 200k miles, and some have gone much longer. A family member bought a used Prius several years ago and the car had over 130k on it when she bought it. Five years later (and another 150k miles) the battery was still going strong when she sold it…
Much more informative than any Scotty Kilmer video 👍
Thanks. Just bought a 19 fusion this is perfect info for me
I bought a 2017 Chevy Volt in 2020. When I got it, it had a max range of 50ish to 60 miles depending on temperature. Lower in the winter. Now in the summer of 2022, my max is 50. For a 5 year old car, that's not bad. I expect it will keep going for a few more years at an acceptable rate, but I'm putting aside money now for the replacement.
Sucks that all your gas savings will go to replacing a battery that’s manufacturing is worse for the environment than a full gas car. Doh!
Thank you
Interestingly my Toyota hybrid battery just failed .. 6 year.. as I always get it serviced with Toyota they told me it is warranted for 15 years. It was replaced yesterday, completely free of charge.
Which Toyota model is warranted for 15 years? The longnest ones I know are 10-years/150k-miles in CARB states.
@@Sunnysky321 from Toyota U.K. Website… I’m talking about the battery warranty on my hybrid car.
15 Year Toyota Hybrid Battery Cover
In addition to the manufacturer warranty, your Toyota Hybrid battery can benefit from up to 15 years of warranty in total. With every service at a Toyota dealer, the warranty is extended for a further 12 months, up to the 15th year of registration.
I love toyotas!
Do you need to program the hybrid battery to the car once installed ? I have a 2017 accord hybrid and it’s due for a battery soon
I live in AZ. Summer Temps can get up to 120 degrees F. Any ideas on how i can protect a 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid Battery when i have to park in a lot with Direct Heat in the AZ Summer?
Ford fusion hybrid 100k miles before degradation. Works still OK at reduced mpg at 125k miles, but should really be replaced at 166-175k miles.
And once you replace it it should last another 166k miles! Less engine wear=high mileage car!
Hi. I have a 10year old Sonata hybrid. It doesn't need to be plugged in to charge, just driving will do. I'll be away for 1.5 weeks & it's parked outside with mid40s at night & high 50s, mid60s during day. I used to hear that one should unplug the car battery so you don't come home to a car that won't start. Is there anything I can do for my hybrid so this won't happen ? thx.
It really depends on the weather of your living place , like sub tropical or tropical area , it fails around 120k km …
Nice video but why don’t you address the questions in the comments??
if ipu fan is going bad ... does it really loud?
I put 423,000 miles on my 2017 Niro FE in 4-1/2 years before the hybrid battery died. The dealership wants $10,000 to replace it AND they keep the core fee! Complete BS on their part as it's a $2300 battery. They just want to sell you a new car. Screw that, I bought another 2017 FE with 171K for less than $10G. Now I have a spare car for work and I'll grab a used battery for about $1500.
can you please comment on the new Honda hrv hybrid system?
The best you can buy.
I have a Toyota hybrid auris here in the uk , it’s a 2015 year and it’s done 129,000 miles and it has started to fail , the check hybrid light has been on twice ,I have just had a new Toyota battery pack fitted in this week, I got a local garage who runs a fleet of these Toyotas as taxis, they fitted it for £1,868. I think I got it done cheap, I wold hate to think what a Toyota main dealership wold charge .
Is it a new battery? What kind of warranty on what was installed?
@@simonbagel hi it was a complete new battery pack bye Toyota , it only has one year warranty.
I am paranoid about my high voltage battery failing on my 2020 Camry hybrid, since it did happen on my 2006 Prius hybrid. I have brought up this concern with my Toyota dealer, and hope that they are doing what is necessary for its trouble free maintenance. I’ve only been averaging about 7000 miles per year. My question is: how often should this battery be assembly be cleaned/ maintained given my mileage?
Thanks for any information you can provide to me.

That battery vent filter is super easy to clean. Just use a screw driver with 3 minutes. You will be done. Your 2006 Prius probably does not have vent, so it last much shorter than modern hybrids.
what about old school NiMH hybrid batteries? Strong/weak points for? Not every hybrid vehicle comes with Lithium Ion batteries...
My 2012 Prius has been parked in the hot sun for 8 or more hours 3 days/week in the summer. I noticed that in the winters the battery charge is higher... Lower in summers. I just called the dealer because I'm afraid it is wearing out early. It has low miles
How long Highlander's hybrid battery last?
I had my hybrid battery cells changed because some where dead. Should I drive in B to supper fast charge my battery?
Hell no! No no no only for long down hill
I had Toyota Avalon 2013 and I change 2 times battery around 200K +. Hyundai Sonata battery hold it to 220K
whats the warranty on the hybrid battery
Depends on manufacturer. Ford does 8 year/100,000 mile
Most come with a 10yr warranty, if the car is serviced properly.
How much is a new battery, you could have mentioned it.
Refurbished Prius batteries are around $1,500 with exchange while a new one from the dealer is around $4,000. Aftermarket lithium ion batteries are lighter and about $2k. I plan to go this route if I need one. My Prius is 10 years old now. Battery doesn’t function on super hot days but that’s only a few days a year. Still, it’s days are numbered.
Ford batteries are $3000-$8000 depending on what kind and who puts it in.
Using a hybrid battery not much can deplete battery. Using too much will deplete battery? WHA? Prius isn't the only Toyota.
My RAV 4 Hybrid Ltd book says braking charges when driving the hybrid. In my Auto Screen it shows how charged my hybrid battery is. It's pretty much at ½. The car has 50K.
Toyota hybrids come with 10 years/ 150 000 miles warranty.
Thanks for the info!
yes against failure. not against loosing capacity..thats classed as wear and tear. so once 8 years old you buy a new one costing 8 000 usd lol. so any cash saved on gas will be gone on a new battery
I have a BMW 530e entire hybrid side of the car failed at 34k 😮
You are toast
So... fast answer... I don't know. Could've saved myself 7 minutes.
AOC eyes...😅
Again, when talking about batteries, the host did not address cold weather. I find that funny. You focused only on hot weather and not the fact that your car will not start if the weather freezes. When Texas froze last year all the Teslas in our neighborhood were dead in the water. Nobody's Tesla worked.
You can get the battery thermal wrapped that will help
So end of the day if you use it too much battery will die quicker. If you don’t use it enough, it will also die.
Same BS, just some general info not much substance wrt the title. Disappointed
Or you can just get a regular gas engine car 🤔
Really junk.
I just want to really no the truth about how long hybrid batteries last and how much do they cost. The variation you gave is quite disturbing. What about cold climates.
