You sir, are full of BS! The hybrid batteries in Toyota Hybrids are designed to last the life of the vehicle. 200-400,000 miles. The reason why the batteries last so long is in the power control unit. The power control Controls the state of charge. The PCU unit never lets the battery go below a certain level or above a certain level, therefore the hybrid battery never gets stressed. Make sense? Depending on the vehicle, the state of charge range can be between 20-80% to 40-60%. So don’t give ur readers ur Melarchy about changing out individual cells external tenders etc. to prolong battery life. Ask any Toyota service manager in any given metro dealer on how many hybrid batteries they replace in a given year. The answer is always going to be so insignificant, that your article can be used to wipe my ass. Have a nice day. Get ur facts straight
