If you own a Toyota Hybrid Prius there is a major problem with all the hybrid batteries from 2001-Present.

The hybrid batteries have a short life span of only 8 years or 150,000 miles on average. So, if your car has not had a bad battery yet you should be expecting it soon as the 8 year mark is coming up on all Totoya Hybrid Prius's.

Now, I'm sure you may know this but if you plan on buying a new battery plan on shelling out a lot of cash, they are expensive. The average new hybrid battery costs $4,000.

There is a guide that you can follow that will allow you to repair your own battery for only around 300-400 dollars. I did this and my battery has been problem free ever since.

You don't have to be a car expert to do this, and you don't need the latest car tools. You only need 5 tools throughout the whole process. These are normal everyday tools (wrench, screwdriver, etc.) that you can find in almost any garage or shack. I personally don't know anything about cars! I changed my first car tire just a few months ago, dead serious! It's actually kinda sad.

The total process took me about 3 hours to complete from start to finish. It saved me 3,600 dollars as well.

Thanks for looking I hope you enjoyed this article. The guide really is extremely simple to follow they show you step by step instructions. "Its so easy a cave man could do it." I hate those commercials!
