Yes, we here at TN do have
Yes, we here at TN do have experience with rebuilt Prius batteries. Two of us are owners. Contributor Jesse Rudavsky is our main resource for long-term Prius issues and repairs. His Prius with over 352K miles had a first cell failure at about 258K. Jesse is not a mechanic and has performed the battery repairs himself. He is driving his Prius as I type this. We also communicated with battery repair professionals (one on each coast) who routinely repair batteries for under $400 and warranty them following the repair. Third, we spoke to a dealership specializing in used Prius cars in Mass. They regularly have batteries repaired at low cost with great results. How much more real can we make it? You can join the dialogue at the FB Prius Owners Club. The link at the end of the third paragraph has instruction on battery balancing.
