    I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have these error messages on dashboard(again..) attached pictures. Last time tyres pressure seems to cause this. This time I am not sure what it can be? Is it battery?

    unfortunately, they mean that you need to have the trouble codes read.

    This is a Gen 2 Prius, not Gen 3

    Tire pressure threw the check engine and red triangleo_O?.. I wouldn't jump straight to assuming battery(s), but as bisco says, you need to have the codes read. I'll add you need to be sure the scanner used is Toyota hybrid aware. Not all "universal" OBD scanners have this capability. The red triangle is a good indicator of a hybrid ECU code stored.

    I am sorry it is Gen2 indeed. Well the issue went away again today.. i am slightly confused. The story is that I bought it with a broken battery and replaced it with refurbished. Was OK for awhile but now issues appear time to time. Battery shows as depleted and all of a sudden full after a minute or so.. I am guessing something is not right with the battery but all messages on dash just went away again.

    correct, refurbished batteries have a habit of doing that. is there a warranty?

    While the HV battery or associated systems may be involved, the only way to know what the car is thinks is wrong, you need to have the DTCs (diagnostic trouble codes) read. All else is just guessing, and replacing parts or attempting to solve on guesses can get very expensive and time consuming, very quickly.
