2012 Prius C P0A80 Code After Battery Work

The quality of a rebuilt battery pack is only as good as the person re-building it... And even the best rebuilder won't warranty for more than a few years, unless they're a really big operation that can absorb that loss... How much did you pay for your rebuild job?

 

That is a game of whack-a-mole, and your mole just popped up from a different hole. This is a fairly common result for a module swap, though sometimes you get a lot more than 200 miles before it pops again.

Somebody will need to gather data from the battery to determine whether the computer is unhappy with the new modules, or other original ones, or a combination of both. Either way, they are far enough out of sync to make the computer think the net result is a bad traction battery.

 

is there are warranty? if they won't fix it for free, find someone else, but be aware that only a new battery is a long term solution.

 

If there's no warranty from the company that did the work, you are pretty much on your own. My niece got a battery for her 2008 Camry from Green Bean Battery. It was around $1700.00 dollars and came with a 3 year warranty. 2 years and 10 months later the battery started having problems. Green Bean replaced it at no charge. Might be worth looking into. Keep in mind that even if you get your battery replaced by a Toyota dealer for somewhere in the $3500.00 range, they will only give you a 3 year warranty.
