Battery OEM Toyota or Bosch

Toyota Prius, the battery isn't that big of a deal, the health can be checked with an app and a dongle, and they;re the most reliable cars on the planet.

I will second a class 3 Bosch. I have one in a hilly city that absolutely rocks the steeps and has a great battery life. Going on 2 years strong and I've had zero battery issues. It rains a lot here but no problems with the Shimano drivetrain either, just regular maintenance.

I have a Cube Stereo Hybrid pro (insert numbers here)

Priced about 3.5k retail, it's an absolute dream to ride. Quiet, huge battery (bosch power tube 800)

Pruis 12v battery last a long time. I just replaced my 11 year old battery. It was still working I just decided to do it as maintenance.

I have a ‘24 RAV4 Prime and a ‘13 Prius V. I can say that my battery and fuel efficiency on both vehicles drops between 30 and 40% as soon as the cold weather hits. Range on the RAV4 Prime goes from 80km/charge to about 55-60km in cold weather, plus the gas runs more often so I don’t go as far on a tank (~1300km winter vs our record 2100km spring/summer).

I did this accidentally and my car never stops at traffic. After 3 years the original battery died and I had to replace. I replaced with an after market battery that matches the ratings but not from Toyota dealer. Ooops all works fine except the auto start stop. it says \"incompatible battery\" but never shuts off at traffic signals.

I have used Bosch, Panasonic, and now Amaron in my 2013 WK2. Bosch lasted as much as my previous 2 Mopar lasted.

Assuming that it's a hybrid and not a PHEV it should run you about $2,500 to have it done professionally, or less than $1000 to do it yourself. At least that was my experience with my Prius.

A few hours later he came back with a new S4 018 Bosch battery (original one was Yuasa HSB056). He assured me it had the same specs, despite being a different brand (40Ah, 12V). He installed it, and then told me it was a “slightly different base size” from the old one.

I bought a brand new Bosch battery last year ( not Halfords)and when I checked the voltage it was less than 10 volts so there are dud batteries out there.
