    Just a quick follow up. My friend is going the Green Bean route with his Highlander. Toyota gave him the middle finger. He said he plans to drive it into the ground. I think the Highlander packs are $2500 and the Prius are $1575 through green bean. They have an A+ BBB rating and provide a lifetime warranty. If he sells his Highlander the warranty is transferrable. If the repacked batteries fail, they put in another pack without charge for the lifetime of the vehicle.

    I know this may be not the optimal solution. I know most here are DIY'er and long time hybrid owners who have seen it all over the years. Hopefully this solution works out for him. I will say the Highlander is a great vehicle and his has most if not all the bells and whistles.

    Congrats on deciding on a solution... I remember texting with this person and was reluctant to drive up their to pull the pack to work on it due to it being a much larger than normal Prius size pack and not having a loaner pack for it, as well as most of my spare parts wouldn't be too helpful with that particular vehicle.

    If someone creates a green bean thread. I will give updates on how well the hybrid battery is doing for my friend over the years. He had it installed in the last couple of days.

    If you can add your comments to the largest, most recent Greenbean battery thread here: GreenBean is offering LIFETIME WARRANTY!?!?!? | PriusChat you'll reach the people most insterested in this discussion.
