On my 2011 Prius with 150k miles, I’m averaging 50 miles per gallon. This morning, while driving, there is a small uphill portion before leaving my subdivision. As I drove up, all the warning lights came on, indicating that the hybrid battery needs to be replaced with a . I connected my Techstream laptop to get a screenshot, but I’m not very familiar with using it. Then, I used the Dr. Prius Battery app to run a diagnostic, which provided additional information. I’m planning to sell the car, but I want to fix this problem first. After clearing the check engine light, the car is driving fine, but now it shows a permanent P0A80 code.

if you can figure out tech stream, it will tell you which cells. you could replace them and rebalance the pack instead of replacing the whole pack, but you should disclose that to buyers. it likely won't last too long.

I have a mechanic friend who will replace them for me. I bought these here TOYOTA PRIUS HYBRID BATTERY CELL NIMH MODULE 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 | eBay
