Prius HV Battery Guide
The Ultimate Guide to Prius Batteries
Are you getting the dreaded triangle of death, VSC, check engine light, or any of the above? Here’s our no nonsense guide to Prius hybrid battery problems.
LIFETIME WARRANTY
For Prius, Camry, and some Lexus models.
*Limitations apply. See our warranty page for details.
1. Hybrid Battery Symptoms
Low battery reading?
Having trouble with your Prius or hybrid battery? Poor performance, indicator lights, and the car not starting are all signs of potential hybrid battery problems.
2. Professional Diagnosis
We recommend going to an auto parts store (Autozone, O’Reilly’s) to have them scan your hybrid’s ODB II codes. Call us with those codes and we can diagnose most issues over the phone. If not, we may travel to your vehicle’s location and perform a comprehensive diagnostic. It’s common for dealerships and brake shops to misdiagnose Prius and other hybrid battery issues.
3. Hybrid Battery Installation
Get hybrid healing!
A mobile technician travels to your location and (in most cases) replaces your Prius battery or hybrid battery with a Motorcells renewed HV battery. For many makes/models, we give you a Lifetime Warranty.
When Toyota wanted 3700 for a battery replacement I had to look elsewhere. Chad was able to come to my house, install the new battery same day and under 1000 dollars. All the dash lights have been reset and the car runs like new even with 200k miles on it.
Chad was phenomenal! Would recommend 100x over. Friendly, easy to work with and did an awesome job with my Prius. Went above and beyond. First person I completely trust with my car! Can’t say enough good things

Chad and his services are trustworthy and transparent. He takes the time to list out options, prices, and important, detailed information of the whole battery process. He educates you and makes certain that you understand everything and answers all questions before proceeding. Even most important, he takes the additional time out of his busy schedule to build a relationship and connect. I appreciate the fast but quality worth work... not to mention the grand or two he saved my bank account from 🙂
Motorcells replaced the hybrid battery in my Prius about seven weeks ago and it’s running great. The service is super convenient. They came to me and it took less than an hour.

Fantastic service... On time, very quick repair at a reasonable price with warranty (hopefully will never have to use it). Will recommend to other hybrid owners.

My wife and I made two trips to visit with Chad and Tim before the purchase of our vehicle. Both gentlemen were genuine, honest and a pleasure to get to know. There were no high pressure sales tactics, or incessant sales phone calls, which unfortunately we had to deal with some other dealers. It's been about a month since the purchase of my car and I love it.

Was able to get my hybrid battery replaced for 1/4th of the dealer estimate and battery is working great. They also went above and beyond solving a safety problem with my back seat that was discovered in the course of replacing the battery.

Chat Donnell diagnosed and replaced the faulty hybrid battery of my 2005 Prius with a refurbished battery very quickly and with high quality. He explained all details of the process which was very interesting and helpful. Highly recommended! You save a lot of money as opposed to letting Toyota replace the battery with a new one.

Great honest service. I recommend Chad to do any hybrid battery work you may need. We got one day service. His expertise brought my 2007 Toyota Prius to new car performanc. Couldn't be happier. The best warranty I've ever seen in writing.

Our Motorcells experience was amazing. After a brief phone conversation, he was able to come to the car with the all the tools and parts needed for a complete repair. The work took about an hour. I would definitely recommend this service and would use it again.

This shop was able to diagnose a problem that Toyota’s shop was unable to. That itself says a lot.... I’m glad to say that my Prius has been running fine since he came over to check out the hybrid battery and diagnose the problem.

Hybrid Battery Repair / Renewal (high voltage traction battery)
Catalytic Converter
At Motorcells™, our goal is to provide a cost-effective way to keep hybrids on the road for as long as possible. We think it would be a terrible shame for these incredibly energy efficient, eco-friendly vehicles to go out of service just because of an out-of-warranty battery and the cost to replace it. Our goal is to keep hybrids on the road for a long, long time and we have found that hybrid battery repair and renewal / refurbishment is the smartest, most cost-effective way to do that.
In addition to getting you back on the road fast, we aim to provide you with easy, no-hassle service from the initial call or e-mail all the way through handing you back the keys to your repaired hybrid, EV, or Prius. Please Contact Us as soon as possible to receive a no-obligation phone consultation and custom price quote. Give us a call and we’ll do our best to answer right away or call you back within 15 minutes! We want you to have a great experience repairing your hybrid vehicle with us.
I am trying to justify the cost of repairing my hybrid. Help!
Your hybrid is only worth a few hundred bucks without a working battery. With a renewed battery, you can keep driving it or get the maximum value for your private sale or trade-in. It’s a no-brainer!
We offer a limited lifetime warranty on Prius, Camry, and a few Lexus models. Call for details on other makes & models. See our warranty page for more details.
What’s the difference between a Motorcells Renewed HV battery and other refurbished or “junk yard” batteries?
A “refurbished” battery may have come from straight from a wrecked vehicle at the junkyard with little to no testing or renewal. Other refurbs may not have been properly renewed or rigorously tested.
Our Motorcells™ 10-Point hybrid battery repair/renewal process means that all hybrid batteries have been inspected for suitability, completely repaired, and undergone a thorough re-testing process – including drive time in a test vehicle. This takes time, expertise, and specialty equipment – and it is what allows us to offer you a limited lifetime warranty. Be smart, because a refurbished battery can be a risky proposition unless you are dealing with a trusted, well-reviewed company with a strong history of honoring their warranty.
Absolutely! And we haven’t found anyone that will do it for a better price. Having said that, unless you have a very low mileage Prius or Lexus, for example, we think a Motorcells™ Renewed HV Battery makes more sense. We’re happy to discuss your options over the phone.
