And if it's an old Pius with NiMH batteries, finding and replacing the bad cells is relatively simple, just tedious because there are a LOT of cells to test.

My friend and Indy got stuck with a 2008 Prius (long story) so he decided to just drive it as long as it would last. The last I talked to him it had over 400K on it with the original battery. He did say there was some sort of switch related to the battery that he has replaced twice. Donald H.
