[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by tomtrain toyomantrains - I've wondered about the hybrids' batteries. They represent a large part of what's under the hood now, don't they? So far, have they held up well? I've heard they are guaranteed for eight years by Toyota. Do they require any special maintenance? [/quote] Actually, the hybrid battery is in the trunk- fairly large and heavy but made up of individual replaceable module cells. I have yet to see any type of problem with the hybrid battery and the warranty is outstanding. No maintenance is required for them either. The auxiliary battery, on the other hand, has had some problems- mainly in colder climate regions like mine or with Prius' that sit too long or are in storage. This is a 'standard' (though different in shape/terminal size) 12 volt battery whose sole purpose is to power-up the computers,etc. to get the system operating. Toyota came out with a higher capacity reserve aux battery to solve the problem.
