Signs your hybrid battery is failing.
A hybrid pack rarely dies all at once. One weak module drags the rest down, and the car tells you in a few predictable ways.
- 01A warning light and a battery code Toyota and Lexus show P0A80. Honda shows the IMA light, often with P1449.
- 02The charge gauge jumps aroundIt swings from full to nearly empty in minutes instead of moving slowly.
- 03The engine never restsIt runs at stop lights and low speed, and fuel economy drops by 5 to 10 mpg or more.
- 04Weak or jerky accelerationThe electric assist fades on hills and highway merges, or the car shudders when the engine kicks in.
New, rebuilt or used. Know what you are buying.
Many "replacement" hybrid batteries are reconditioned packs or modules pulled from salvage cars. Ours are not.
| New from us | Rebuilt or reconditioned | Used or salvage | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cells | Brand new, never installed | Old modules, balanced and resold | Whatever was in the donor car |
| Miles on the cells | Zero | Usually high mileage | Unknown |
| Matched pack | Every module tested and matched | Mixed ages, mixed wear | Not matched |
| Your car's electronics | You keep your own case, computer and fans | Often swapped for theirs | A whole pack from someone else's car |
| Warranty | 3 years or 60,000 miles, extendable to 5 years | Varies by seller, often shorter | Often none |
| Core charge | None | Often required | Sometimes |
Only the cells are replaced
Keep the electronics you trust.
You fit our new modules into your own battery case. Your car keeps its own battery computer, cooling fans, wiring junction and sensors. Parts that have only ever lived in your car, not ones pulled from a flood car or a wreck at the junkyard.

From the people who installed one.
Real reviews from owners, unedited apart from length. Most did the swap themselves in their own garage.
"I'm on the road again with a new battery for less than $2K, while Toyota quoted me $5.5K for an OEM battery!"
"I was able to do the job on my 2005 Prius in 5.5 hour start to finish. The instructions were comprehensive, and I ran into no issues."
"Purchased these batteries back in 2019 and it has worked great. We have 4 Prius cars and now I need another kit for one of my other cars."
"I can't believe I successfully performed car surgery."
Installed in an afternoon.
Most owners and local shops finish the swap in about four hours with basic hand tools and insulated gloves.

Two ways to ship. You choose.
Every battery is imported. The only difference is how fast it travels and when the import duties are paid.
Free shipping, duties included
About 30 days on average
Shipping, import duties and fees are all paid. Nothing to pay at the door. Free on every battery pack.
Express
About 5 days
The fastest option. The carrier collects import duties and fees when it delivers, usually $100 to $200.
Questions, answered.
Something else? Email info@newpriusbatteries.com. Photos of your car or old pack help.
Are these really brand new?
Yes. Every cell and module is new and has never been in a vehicle. We do not sell rebuilt, refurbished or used batteries.
Which shipping option should I pick?
Free shipping with duties included takes about 30 days on average and there is nothing to pay at the door. Express costs $150 and takes about 5 days, and the carrier collects import duties of about $100 to $200 when it delivers.
Can I install it myself?
Many customers do, in about an afternoon. You will need insulated high-voltage gloves and basic hand tools. Any hybrid-savvy shop can also install it.
How long does a hybrid battery last?
Factory packs usually last 8 to 15 years. When the first module fails, the others are rarely far behind, which is why we replace every module with new cells rather than patching one.
Will this clear code P0A80 or the IMA light?
If the code comes from weak battery modules, yes. After installing, clear the codes with a scan tool or by disconnecting the 12 V battery. If a code returns, email us the readings and we will help find the cause.
Do I need to program anything?
No coding is needed. You keep your car's own battery computer, so Toyota, Lexus, Ford and Chevrolet owners just reconnect, clear the codes and drive. Honda IMA cars may need the battery charge level reset with a scan tool after the swap.
What tools do I need?
Basic metric sockets and screwdrivers, a torque wrench, and insulated high-voltage gloves. Our manual walks through every step with photos.
Do I need to send my old battery back?
No. There is no core charge. Please recycle your old modules responsibly.
What does the warranty cover?
3 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, against block voltage error codes. You can extend it to 5 years for $800 when you order. Installation, labour and shipping are not covered.
Only one module has failed. Can I buy just one?
Yes. Single modules are $154 each, with shipping at $150 for up to 6 modules.
My car is not listed. Can you still help?
Possibly. Email us your make, model and year and we will check.
