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.
Chad and Tim were great to work with. Simple and easy to schedule and get the work done and both had a ton of knowledge and information to share. I highly recommend Motorcells.

Hi Chad! I wanted to let you know that I am very pleased with the service that I received on my 2006 Prius. Tim worked quickly, was very knowledgeable, thourough and professional. I'm thrilled to have my Prius up and runnin in no time! I would recomend your services to anyone. Dawn
I owe these guys my complete gratitude. Very responsive and great customer service. They even drove two hours to replace my hybrid battery. Not to mention the great warranty they offered me, as well as saving me from the ridiculous price Toyota quoted me. I will be seeing them again if I have any issues, but hopefully that won't happen. Thanks!

The battery light came on in my 2011 Honda CR-Z so I picked up the phone and gave them a call. Chad was very kind in helping me find a path to get my car fixed . He has referred me to get my diagnostics and has offered to continue helping me figure out what the best thing to do for my car in my budget once we have the diagnostic readings.

They came to the car and got the battery and came back and installed a new hybrid battery! Great prices and great people!

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
Could not recommend this service more! Had my beloved 2006 Prius' hybrid battery die on me and the dealership wanted almost 3x as much as Motorcells charged. Little did I know I would also get ABOVE AND BEYOND customer service. Chad communicated promptly, explained everything so I didn't feel in the dark, leant me a car while mine was being serviced, and had my Prius running better than ever in an hour. Yes, you're getting a refurbished battery instead of a new, but the warranty is the same; it makes total sense for an older car. Highly recommend!
Chad provided quick efficient service and is a great guy all around. I felt like I was having my best friend over for a huge favor! Excellent pricing, I saved over 4000 dollars! Vs Toyota’s ridiculous quote!

I am so impressed with their knowledge & customer service! They drove to my house to grab my hybrid battery and brought it back and installed it! Went out of their way to give me informed answers regarding my car and even drove around with me to make sure everything is working! Hands down recommend Motorcells!
Was quick! Delivery and installation in my drive way was more than i thought could be done. Very helpful indeed. Would of been 5 stars but one of my seat bolts needed rechased, the tool needed to do it was forgotten (not an event expected) as a result I now have to drive into Indianapolis to there shop to get it done.#thus4outof5
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.

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.
Great experience, great price and great convenience. They got us in quickly and came to us for the battery replacement- for a fraction of the price of a dealer. Highly recommend!

Fast, friendly. Tech was very friendly and knowledgeable. Local and warrenty is great. Would recommend. Competitive Pricing is better than others for hybrid battery.

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 🙂

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.
