Thank you for the instructions. Can you please tell me if the hybrid battery can be damaged in case the car is working with a non-Toyota 12V battery? (A damn mechanic did that to my Prius; he replaced the 12V battery with a non-Toyota Prius 12V battery, and I was driving around with that shit battery for a year and a half. At that time the 12V battery went bad twice! The 1st time he recharged it and said it was ok, so I continued to drive with this non-suitable 12V battery! The 2nd time the 12V battery wouldn't get charged, so he asked Toyota, and only now he figured out that he should had placed a Toyota Prius 12V battery, instead of the one he did) So now, I am worried this might have affected -in any way- the hybrid battery! Could that have happened? Please let me know if you have any information on this.
(I still haven't gotten the car fixed, to check the hybrid system. Waiting for the proper battery to be deliverd)

Love it or hate it the Prius is a successful design. On a trip to Berlin I was picked up by a Prius taxi and sitting in back asked the driver what he thought of it. He had been a taxi driver for over twenty years and had been a big fan of Mercedes until they started building crap. He said that although the Prius was a complicated hybrid design it had been 100% reliable and was economical and for a self employed taxi driver the Prius left more money in his pocket than the Mercedes ever did.

Thanks for making this video for us newbies. I'd planned to replace the original 12V battery on my 2005 Prius today, but first needed to find out where it was. My Prius has 286K miles on it and I have never had a problem with it. It may not travel at the speed of light, but I look at it as 8 years without a car payment. Love this car and will buy another one someday (hopefully not too soon.

We own a 07 Prius. Sitting in your Prius, with your car in accessories mode, is terrible on the 12 volt. If you are wanting to listen to the stereo, just keep your Prius on, in READY mode. Btw, if your Prius has cel codes on the dash & doesn't want to go, just disconnect the 12 volt battery for ten minutes, that should let you drive, conservative, to safe location. Peace.

That Little Red Riding Hood Lied bumper sticker has me a bit confused. From what I can gather it's a wolves aren't as bad as you think kinda thing, but when was the last time Upstate New York had any wolves? 1900? It's hard to mistreat something that isn't there anymore.

Can you add a link of the battery you bought? I bought one from oreileys but its too big and wont fit properly. Also did anyone else have an issue of some water leaks? There was a good amount of water sitting right by my old battery which is super dangerous.

Great cars. I used to own a 2013 Prius package #5. Highway rated 48 miles per gallon. Max I ever got was 45 miles per gallon.
Reason I got rid of it was due to the snow. It got stuck everywhere. Other than that it was great packing, GPM, exc.

HELP PLEASE! My Prius will only turn on and work perfectly fine when jumpstarted. Battery is good. And holding charge (not getting drained) the moment I push the power off button, its gone dead. Nothing not a single light on. Completely dead
