    287k on the car. Replaced bad cells at 250k.
    Got the red triangle last Thursday. Towed home. Ran 3 cycles of reconditioning with Prolong. Car ran great for about 5 miles and the triangle was back.
    Towed back home. Ran Dr Prius on it - see attachment.
    Thoughts on Greenbean battery? They suggest replacing the 12v - necessary? Time to call it a day?

    What code triggered the "master caution light" "(RToD)?

    If a failed battery module set a P3000 - PA080, then a cell in that module is likely DEAD and you can't "bring it back" with any type of conditioning.
