- 2017 Prius prime installing a new 12 V battery. Do it in less than 10 minutes after watching this video.
When removing out the old battery. Make sure you disconnect the black or negative wire first!
Just be careful when you’re loosening and tightening the positive terminal make sure you do not touch the chassis of the car with the wrench.
This applies to 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, Prius prime.
You should remove the black (ground) terminal first. It's safer that way.
Just wanted to say TY, replaced my battery today myself for the first time with your help :]
Nice! Glad I could help!
Thank you! Saved me a lot of time unbolting stuff I didn't have to. Merry Christmas!
This was so helpful! I’ve never changed a battery before and was able to do it all by myself.
I’m so happy I was able to help you! Please don’t forget to subscribe it really helps me out :-)
Thanks! I needed this today!
This is great, I also have a 2017 Prius Prime Advanced with the OG battery. I've been jumping it with a portable jumper the last couple days but I need to remove it so that I can get it closer to a wall outlet and use my 12V charger before I totally give up on it and get a new battery. Your instructions for removing the battery are just what I was looking for. Thanks.
Don't wait any longer. Mine suddenly, totally failed, wouldn't accept any charge at all. To move it 20 feet to the street, I had to leave the charger pugged in and have my wife manage the extension cord. Then I could drive her car to buy the replacement battery. Haha, it's ground post was slightly too small, and I had to fashion a copper shim.
@@winfieldhill7643 It's been over a year since I left that comment and my 12V battery is still holding up. I've got a jumper that works, and then I drive the car around for 20-30 minutes and all is good. The worst period has been this past winter when we had sub-zero temperatures and if I didn't use the car for 48 hours it would need a jump. Otherwise, no issues, still using the OG battery.
Thanks so much for providing this video... Saved me tons installing the battery myself vs going to local dealership.. Walmart Auto technician scared me off by saying that I will need to replace that at Toyota dealer and it's gonna cost me 500 bucks out the door because it has electrical components, bla bla bla... Local dealer quote me $350... battery itself now about $199 including tax...
Glad to help and Good luck with the install make sure to subscribe for more future videos!

Super helpful!
Glad to help

Good move on replacing ur battery before it WENT. 5yrs is pretty good! And being parts are hard to FIND, another job well done! 👍😁
I asked the dealership if they had any discounts and he was nice enough to give me 10% off. It never hurts to ask either. This morning the battery did actually go out. So I got my trickle charger and used it for about 15 minutes and then the car started back up. I then went to go buy the battery and I changed it out today. So it did just go out And I’m lucky I was able to find another battery.
Yes, that battery bracket at the bottom needs to come out. I tried without removing it and that won't work easily. Online, every local place tried to sell me a 140R /H4 battery for $200+. Luckily, I found an LN1 at summit racing for $140. AC Delco AGM battery with higher CCA rating, same reserve capacity as the stock Toyota battery. BTW, I always remove the negative first on the old battery because if you touch your metal wrench to anything metal when working on the positive side you can complete the circuit and get shocked unless the negative is already disconnected
Thanks for the tips! I’m glad you found a Good deal on the battery, too! Yeah, I was just never sure if you need to remove that bracket piece, but glad you verified that!
I got the battery from my dealer with the discount of my service advisor for $175
@@rsultan25gaminggxc Nice deal!
After 7 years my 2017 prius's battery went dead on me after leaving my car sit for 5 days. I was able to jump it back with a portable jumper but ought to just bite the bullet and buy a new one. Looks to be pretty simple.
Thanks!
You’re Welcome glad it helped you!
It looked like the ODB II port was not used to support/retain the factory settings, the time setting and others.
Nice job on the video, Thanks! Interesting, my "17 PP has the original battery, but, doesn't have that shroud/sheath around the battery.
I wonder if they forgot when they installed it!
Good question but luckily the car is garaged and the engine compartment is pristine
Don’t put them on the floor; it’s grounded literally.
Quick battery swap. Local shop didn’t want to do the battery swap for me.
Because they think it’s in the back above the tire.
I just bought a 2017 a few weeks ago and noticed it had the original battery. After I bought it, of course it died the very next day. It was difficult to find a replacement in my area. Grabbed a diehard from autozone for $200 with 3 year warranty
I was lucky to find one at the dealership for 185 bucks. He told me that he just received a shipment of the batteries. Plus up where I bought the battery from in northern Washington I don’t think they sell too many Prius prime‘s. But in Oregon they sold a lot more so they didn’t have very many batteries.
Wish I had seen this video sooner as I just had my wife’s battery replaced at the dealer and charged me $198 for labor for the battery was $206… Local auto parts had the battery, but I was a little bit uncertain about using a compatible battery that may not be appropriate for the car Prius prime XLe 2020
They made easy money. There is always next time. I have other helpful videos as well so make sure you subscribe :) it helps me out a lot.
thanks for the info. Just to shorten the video, it would be nice if you had your sizes figured out
I am having the same issue with my prius prime 2018, my socket wrench set I bought at the store is not long enough to reach the bracket holding the battery in on the right side. Which set do you use? If you can please link them. Thank you very much.
Just connect a few extensions together. Use some tape.
Thats about how long my original battery lasted. Got 5 years out of it.
Mine got a error message. Brake pump failure. Visit dealership. Will it let you start the car despite that?
No idea good luck!
6:18 why aren’t you supposed to touch the vehicle? I was already to try it but now I’m wondering. Wish there had been a follow up explanation
When you are loosening, the positive, make sure the socket wrench ratchet does not come in contact with the vehicle body. Otherwise, it would cause Sparks. It would create a short circuit
Is the battery AGM type or just ordinary maintenance free?
Regular battery from dealership.
Do you know if battery replacement is similar for the 2020 model?
Should be if the battery is in the same area. And looks similar
@@DIYBIGMANdid you have to reset anything afterwards? My mechanic was making it sound very confusing to replace but I've replaced old Toyota cars before.
Also, will the warning pop up for replacement or you just knew it was time?
@@DIYBIGMANsorry last question: did Toyota quote you a very expensive price for the battery? Toyota was quoting me $690 just for the battery itself...
@@irenec7561 please shop around. I got mine for less than 200 and so did most people. Probably by now maybe $250.
I thought the 12v battery is on the back!
The previous generation has battery’s in the trunk I believe.
Oddly enough no clamp that holds down the battery. Gravity is the only clamp. Hmmm.
Yeah you’re right I think! Sure makes it easier to change. LOL
I believe that 12mm bolt on the side attached to a steel plate that curved and snug the battery in its place...
The clamp holds the lip on the foot of the battery
