What is this?


This is a DIY kit to completely and fully replace your aging or dead Toyota Prius Hybrid Battery (a.k.a. Traction Battery) with brand new battery modules, bus-bars, battery wiring harness, and interconnects. You retain your original metal enclosure and hybrid ECU.

Will this work with my Vehicle?

This is meant for Generation-3 Toyota Prius vehicles, model years 2010 through 2015. We also have kits available for Generation-1 (2001-2003) and Generation-2 (2004-2009) available with request. These modules will work in any number of Toyota and other makes that use the same Panasonic battery design, but the wiring kit is specific to the Prius. With extra (and non-supported) DIY, you could potentially make it work with many more vehicles.
Brand New Batteries: Not a refurb or rebuild. These are brand new modules fresh out of the factory and have never been in a vehicle. ZERO miles driven.
Superior Design: Cylindrical cells, half the battery modules, and all the same functionality. Upgrade your Hybrid Pack today!
Factory Warranty: A 2 year or 25,000 mile warranty on the modules. Fleet vehicles included.

How Much?

For $1888 and 4 hours of installation time, you will get a brand new hybrid battery backed by a 2-year or 25,000 mile warranty including fleet vehicles. There is nothing comparable out there. All other options that are not original Toyota Hybrid packs, are used modules. Some are refurbished and/or balanced to be better matched with one another, but they are still all used batteries from wrecked, salvaged, totaled, or other failed Prius vehicles. In contrast these batteries from NewPriusBatteries.com are brand new and never used. When you start driving on your new pack, it starts with zero miles on it, just like a brand new Prius from the factory.

The Smarter Financial Investment

Don't waste your money on refurbished or remanufactured batteries. The only real solution to repair your Toyota Prius Hybrid Battery is to replace the entire pack. Anything else is a temporary band-aid, akin to playing the game whack-a-mole. Why spend the same money to put in used modules inside a refurbished pack instead of buying new modules from us? Our batteries at NewPriusBatteries.com are the smartest choice for any Toyota Prius needing a Hybrid Battery pack replacement.

Features

The NewPriusBatteries.com Hybrid Battery is different than an original Toyota Hybrid Battery, but it is made to be interchangeable. The largest differences and features are highlighted below
Half the Modules: An original Toyota pack uses 28 modules paired into 14 blocks. We've simplified the design and now you just need 14 larger modules making the same 14 blocks
Fully Compatible: Designed to be 100% backwards compatible with the original modules. Uses the same wire connectors, same mounting, same temperature sensors, same enclosure.
Factory Warranty: A 2 year or 25,000 mile warranty on the modules
Cylindrical Cells: These cells are shaped like a series of large D-Cell batteries instead of the rectangular bricks of the original.
New Bus Bars: The kit comes complete with new solid metal bus-bars to connect adjacent modules together, new nuts, and new wiring.
No Core Charge: When you order, you get your battery pack kit. There is no extra charge for a core, and no deposit required. Your old parts can be saved or sold to offset the cost.
 
Standard Installation Flow

These kits are no more difficult to install than a standard battery swap. In fact, it is recommended to follow one of the many YouTube videos of how to disassemble your 2004-2009 Toyota Prius [Contact Us for Gen1 (2001-2003) and Gen3 kits (2010-2015)] to access the Hybrid Battery and to put it back together.

Disassemble Prius to Access Hybrid Battery
This involves removing the false floor, some interior plastic panels, and disconnecting the rear seats. All can be done with a socket wrench and a screw-driver. A power-drill is recommended with a socket attachment to make life easier. Average time for a first-time disassemble is roughly 1 hour. An experienced rebuilder can usually do this within 5-10 minutes.
 
Remove Hybrid Battery from Vehicle
This is a heavy part, it is best to have help. You will need to access the bottom of the pack, so it does need to be fully removed. It cannot be worked on in the car.
 
Disassemble Original Hybrid Battery
Remove the cover, remove the battery nuts, remove the bus bars, disconnect the venting, disconnect the temperature sensors, remove the tension bar, and end up with the shell of a battery. Since there is no core charge, you are welcome to keep your old modules or to sell them on eBay for others venturing to make refurbished used packs to help offset the cost of your brand new pack! Remember if you ever intend to extract a core exchange fee, you will need your original modules at this time.
 
Assemble NewPriusBatteries.com Brand New Hybrid Traction Pack
Line up your modules in serial order. Each of the 14 modules is marked from #1 through #14, and put them in order. Attach the bus-bars, battery nuts, and new wiring harness. Move battery to original enclosure. Attach temperature sensors via included clips. Attach modules from the bottom to the original battery enclosure. Complete the wiring, and put the cover back on the battery. That's it! Average time for a first install is about 1 hour if you are taking your time.
 
Re-Install Hybrid Battery in Vehicle
Again, this is a heavy part and it is best to have help. Carefully place the newly assembled battery back into the Prius.
 
Reassemble the Prius
Now it is time to put all the bolts, screws, and plastic panels that make up the rear of Prius back together. This may take an hour for a first time builder, again 5-10 minutes for an experienced installer.
 
Complete Install
Make sure to latch the orange safety interconnect back in-place (it can be tricky!) and READY the vehicle. If you have codes, it is best to clear them before driving. Your brand new battery is now installed and should be trouble free and worry free for a very long time. You also have the peace of mind that your brand new battery from NewPriusBatteries.com is fully warranted for 2 years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first. In the unlikely event of a warranty replacement, we will send you a new battery module for you to install.
 
Included in the Kit

The NewPriusBatteries.com Prius Battery Kit requires some installation. If you are not comfortable working with high voltage DC, any hybrid battery installer local to your area should be able to provide the service for you, and the installer may contact us with any questions.
14 Cylindrical Battery Modules: The life-blood of your Hybrid Battery Pack.
Bus-Bars and Nuts: Solid metal bus-bars and nuts to connect the battery modules together and to the enclosure.

Mounting Screws: To secure the battery modules to the original Toyota metal enclosure.
Battery Module Spacers: Orange High Voltage plastic spacers to secure the battery modules.
Battery Module Covers: Orange High Voltage plastic covers to limit exposed high voltage connections.

Customer Support Email: If you have questions before, during, or after your installation feel free to contact us.


How Ordering Works

We now are shipping quickly from our international warehouse. When you place an order, we manufacture a kit for you or ship from stock available at the factory. We ship UPS Air direct to your doorstep. If in-stock, it will take about 8 to 10 days to receive your kit. You don't have to send anything to us. If it is being manufactured it's about 30-days. Once you get a tracking number, your order is on your way! We have had a large increase in fraud, theft, and fraudulent chargebacks with people trying to steal batteries from us. Because of this, our policy is now clearly stated and you agree when purchasing a kit. Once you are assigned a tracking number, there are no refunds and that is your kit. You can pick it up at our warehouse yourself or allow UPS to deliver it. If UPS "loses" it, or if someone steals it from your porch, this is your problem. Not our problem. We very strongly recommend that you have the pack delivered to a place that you trust where you will be. UPS allows you to schedule the delivery or even deliver/hold at a UPS store near you. If you think porch pirates are a thing in your area, please consider it. Note that with the many thousands of packages shipped, we have never had a real case of theft. We had a hurricane steal a box, but otherwise it has all been people trying to scam us even when UPS proves delivery. We are the only people making these batteries so if you email later for instructions because you "bought it elsewhere later" we know you stole it and fraudulently called your credit card company! It is just raising the price for everyone else, please don't do that.

2 year or 40,000km/25,000mi warranty. Modules are warranted for block voltage error codes. Installation, labour, and shipping are not included in the warranty. Warranty is serviced by battery factory with NewPriusBatteries.com as the intermediary.

    Stick it to the man!

    Posted by Marc on May 8th 2024


    I'm on the road again with a new battery for less than $2K, while Toyota quoted me $5.5K for an OEM battery!

    Installation was a little tricky for a novice because the instructions are Gen2-focused and I had to translate for a Gen3. That said, I was able to do the rebuild & installation in around 5-6 hours. The car started right up and I was able to clear the "check hybrid system" code easily with a cheap OBDII scanner/app. Thank you!!!

    Excellent replacement!

    Posted by Ryan A. on Jul 23rd 2023

    Ordered on June 8, got notified that it shipped on June 14. This is where everyone freaks out. At this point, the shipping label was paid for and created and is awaiting arrival from overseas/Customs. Once it arrives and clears customs, IT'LL UPDATE. Be patient, your order needs time to get here and for all the logistics to work out.

    Installation was a breeze, especially following the ChrisFix guide from YouTube. It's literally step by step.

    Batteries have been working great since installation and I've had no issues whatsoever. I'd definitely recommend using New Prius Batteries! Thank you!

    New Prius Battery Kit Gen3

    Posted by Doug on Jun 30th 2021

    This was a straightforward and relatively simple project. The best instruction was like for like. My 2010 has over 230,000 miles and now has a new battery. The longest part is all the bolts to remove to take old cells out and then all bolts to bolt in new cells. everything else was fairly easy.

    Gen3 Kit

    Posted by DIY Dan on Aug 7th 2020

    Without even having completed my installation I am happy to give this a five star review. Excellent quality from all appearances. Great support. This isn't for someone not comfortable with fairly high level DIY projects. Instructions are adequate but not stellar for Gen3. I must mention again customer support was fabulous. I am patient and understanding and always try to allow for a full 7 days to elapse to receive replies and this has always been the case with this vendor. I also understand if communications aren't always grammatically correct or totally without what might be construed as patient and kind. After all, who contacts vendors? People with problems and dumb questions mostly. Time and use will tell if this was a spectacular purchase but I have little doubt it'll be fine.

    Prius Gen 3

    Posted by Cheryl Ashenbrener on Sep 9th 2019

    Great product great support instructions poor for the Gen3 as the instructions were addendums of Gen2 install. They sent me to YouTube for amateurish install of Gen2. This product would be perfect with a professional install video. Not for the average guy or woman without those detailed instructions for a potentially dangerous operation.
