    @AzusaPrius

    Y'know, if you act like an idiot (which you did, in this case) you're likely to be called an idiot...

    If you think you're being mistreated here, you're welcome to move on...

    Maybe both of you need to deescelate a little, lol. Or at least one, that'd do it. When all else fails, hit the "Ignore" button works too.

    You obviously are in the same boat as the other rude member, might be a circle of you. Point was green bean battery and the OP has one and I want one. How I was called out to be a worker for them and sears is beyond the topic and you little trolls need to eat or go do something else other than posting dumb shit that doesnt help.

    Go ahead and call them. Be advised that if you get the same sales person that I did, you're going to be talked-down to, asked irrelevant questions, and made to repeat yourself several times over. You may get frustrated to the point of changing your mind. Then once you've agreed on a installation date, they'll call you back and tell you they can't make it. And the onus is on you to be available to them, not the other way around.

    These are the circumstances which forced my complaint about Green Bean to their Better Business Bureau. And this was the reason they then acted like a spoiled child and canceled the sale.

    You want to purchase a Green Bean product? Good luck with that.

    Your comment got "eaten" but newpriusbatteries currently has a 5 month waiting list because they are so popular. Their solution basically gives you a new battery for less than Toyota prices. They have had no warranty claims in the over 2 years they have been in business. Green Bean and others cannot claim that and refuse to release their warranty claim percentages. We asked here. They ran away when they say zero percentage warranty claims for the kit.

    Not entirely. There was 1 poster who aired his battery woes here, but the circumstances were unclear. He purchased the product from 2K1Toaster, but then insisted his car still had a battery-related issue. My opinion is that he overlooked something and was in search of a scapegoat.

    I started noticing that my hybrid was getting fewer miles per gallon than it used to, and it seemed like the car was working harder, especially on hills. It used to cruise along just fine, but now it feels like it’s struggling a bit. That’s when I realized my hybrid battery might be on its way out. Now I replaced it a new battery to buy from Aloy Hybrid because it is give new batteries with warranty.

    I’m just curious, you replaced your hybrid battery on your 2018 Prius- isn’t it still under warranty or did you surpass the mileage?

    And the new battery- is it an OEM battery or from a company that sells new batteries? How much did it cost?
