As one of the premier hybrid cars on the American market, you can trust that the Toyota Prius has the fuel economy and longevity you need to take you wherever you need to go in the Carson. But eventually, even a Prius battery needs to be replaced—and what should you do when it's time?
From full battery replacements to helping you save on labor costs and more, Fletcher Jones Toyota of Carson has you covered when you need a new Prius battery. Find out more about how long a Prius battery lasts, how to prepare for a Prius battery replacement, and more below, then contact us with any other questions you have or to schedule an appointment with our team.
A Toyota Prius actually has two batteries on board: the main hybrid system battery that works with the gasoline engine to power the car, and a smaller auxiliary Prius 12V battery that powers the computer, headlights, audio system, and other small equipment. You can learn more by reading your owner's manual or by contacting our service team to ask any questions you have.
While previous Prius models could employ a nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) battery, every configuration of the 2024 Prius comes with a 222V lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery to assist the engine in moving the car forward. Li-Ion batteries are known to be dependable and long-lasting, so you shouldn't have to replace the main battery in your Prius during the lifetime of your car. Just in case, Toyota offers a hybrid battery warranty that covers repairs and replacements for up to 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first on your drives around Long Beach.
Inside your Prius, the 12V battery is similar to the battery on gasoline-powered cars (though it's distinct). It powers on your Prius computer when you press the start button, plus powers the infotainment system, headlights, and other low-power-draw components that help you drive safely throughout Torrance.
While your Prius battery lifespan will vary depending on a number of factors—like how you drive, how far you drive, where you live, and more—the batteries are typically designed to last the average life of your vehicle. So the answer to the question "How long does the Prius battery last?" is "It depends," but you should expect at least a few years out of yours.
Toyota's hybrid battery warranty protects you from having to worry about replacing your battery for 8 years or 100,000 miles of use, so you can enjoy peace of mind as you drive throughout Compton in your Prius from Fletcher Jones Toyota of Carson.
