Ebay battery Seller hybridplus, CA. stay away, battery pack didn't last, warranty not honored

Buyer beware of this seller hybridplus, bought a complete battery pack of 28 cells (2016 Prius V, car cells went bad at 200k), that offered a 1 year warranty, bought all 28 so there was no issue of balancing, after 3 months, same death rattle, same codes for battery pack, misfire etc. Seller stated he will send replacements after certified hybrid professional tests them.

Had them tested, 9 were not holding charge, even others were below threshold but usable. Seller asks for serial numbers. Okay. At this point it was too much back and forth, i thought he'll send me another that will last 3 months? Wasn't worth the labor costs. I asked for a partial refund, but seller stated there will be no refund. I asked what is the point, they don't last but a few months. After that no response. I hope this helps others.

 

True, but the misfire i believe is caused by the weak battery pack slowly killing the water pump over time because the battery bars barely last 45 minutes.

Our priority is getting a battery pack that doesn’t drain like the one now.

Then look into the misfire. water pump could be on its way out.

Thank you.
