TOYOTA PRIUS WARRANTY
The Toyota Prius battery warranty is a great warranty compared to any other hybrid battery warranty. For any reason your Prius battery fails to offer you good service or your battery life expires the Toyota Prius battery warranty will get your car fixed right away without any extra charges.
If you live in the US then your Toyota Prius battery warranty will be for a period of eight years or 100,000 miles. If you are not satisfied with your Toyota Prius battery all you need to do is contact the dealer to get your battery replaced free of cost during the warranty period.
When you happen to live in California then under the California Standard Emissions State, you have an advantage because your Toyota Prius warranty is not for eight years but for ten years and the mileage being 150,000 miles and not 100,000 miles. It offers all the same options as the US standard Toyota Prius battery warranty however because of California law you get a better warranty.
Usually it is seen that the problems regarding the Toyota Prius arise after the time span of seven to eight years. After this time the battery starts slowing down and starts to have bad performance on the road and gradually dies off. This is the time when you as an owner of the Toyota Prius have to make the decision regarding replacement of your battery.
While considering this fact it is found that the customers who are very specifically brand loyal run to the Toyota dealers immediately for a new replacement battery. This is the best possible option for you if you are a non-price sensitive customer and will cost you around $4000.
When you happen to be a very price sensitive customer, the first question that comes to your mind is, “will I buy a new battery for an old car or will I look for some other available options?”
Well, here is an answer to your queries. In this regard you can find used batteries on various websites such as eBay. You can also find other dealers other than Toyota who will sell you a used Prius battery. This option is much cheaper than a new battery but you will still pay between $1500 and $2500. The risk with these options is a lot of times you will not know how many miles are on the battery.
I came across this problem some time back when my Toyota Prius battery warranty expired. What I did was search the internet for a solution to my problem. What I found from my search was a low cost guide which claimed it would walk me though the process so I could rebuild the battery myself.
It was a way of recycling my old battery. It was descriptive and was very helpful for me. I was able to get my Prius back on the road for around $500. This was the total cost of rebuilding the battery myself.
Before I did the replacement myself I was real busy and did not know if I would have the time to rebuild my own battery. This was not a problem at all because before I purchased the guide I found a few local mechanics who would rebuild my battery for me using the guide I provided them. They would only charge me regular labor rates for the battery rebuild. I got an estimate and it was around $700 which was still a lot cheaper than buying a used or new Prius battery.
