Never understood why so many were (and are) O-C over the 12V aux battery on the Prius. Does the Gen 4 have a 12V AGM battery under its bonnet?
Not the OP, it was Henry Tan.
Nope. You have to replace the module yourself (if you do it the right way) or hire someone to do it (not recommended). If you don't or can't do...
I would modify this statement to say that over a period of time the cells WILL become unbalanced - it's the nature of the beast. NimH batteries...
