    New ones are not generally available.

    You can buy low mileage modules (6 cells each) that come from Prii that were totaled in an accident. They are available on eBay and the modules from 2010+ Prii are slightly improved over the 2004-2009 Modules.

    If you are trying to repair a failing Prius battery, you need to learn how to charge and balance Prius modules so that your repair lasts a while. Please take care to protect yourself as a Prius HV battery has sufficient energy to cause injury.
