subject: Toyota Prius Battery Life, How To Save YourSelf The $4k For A Replacement [print this page] Author: Sam Adams Author: Sam Adams
When my Toyota prius battery life was over, I was told it would be just about $4,000 to get a new one. But the solution that I found was much better then that, and I was able to fix it quickly. What is your Toyota Prius Battery Life Expectancy? Your battery life expectancy is 8 years, and you can expect your battery to last about 7 to 10 years. Which means unlike an engine, you can actually figure that your battery will need to be replaced after about 8 years. What are your options when your Toyota Prius battery life has ended? You have a few different options for when your Toyota prius battery life has ended. Let me explain the three most commonly used solutions. #1. You can have Toyota take care of this, and it will cost you around $4,000. #2. You can buy a rebuilt battery from eBay for around $1,500, and install it yourself. #3 You can rebuild one yourself and it would cost you around $500. When my battery died, it wasn't very hard for me to see which on of these was the solution for me. Here is what I went through trying to find the right solution to this very common problem. I began research much like you may be doing right now. I found the different options that there are for people when their Prius battery life ends, which I have just explained to you. Now, this is the one I chose. I did a lot of research on this because I didn't want to end up with another dead battery on my hands in another few months or even a year. I wanted to fix this prius battery problem and be done! So I found this website online that explained that there was a way that I myself could rebuild a Prius battery using only a few hand tools that most people already had. They had a 60 day money back guarantee, so I really had nothing to lose if it was a bad idea. I bought the guide, and it was a lot easier for me to rebuild my own battery then I thought it would be. After everything was said and done, I spent about $500 into it, and a little bit of time. But the amount of money that I saved was well worth it. I am happy to report that I haven't had another problem since! Learn more here: http://www.squidoo.com/Prius_ProblemsAbout the Author:
