If the hybrid battery fails, owners have a few options for replacement:

Brand New Hybrid Battery: A new, OEM Toyota hybrid battery can be expensive but offers the best reliability and warranty. Prices typically range from PKR 150,000 to 300,000 depending on availability and the specific Prius model.
Reconditioned o r Refurbished Hybrid Battery: Reconditioned hybrid batteries are a more affordable option and typically cost around PKR 80,000 to 120,000. However, they may not last as long as new batteries.
Cell-Level Repairs: Some owners opt for cell-level repairs, where only the damaged cells in the hybrid battery pack are replaced. This can be more affordable, but the results vary based on the quality of the repair.

Considerations:

New vs. Reconditioned: While a new battery offers peace of mind, a reconditioned o r repaired battery might not last as long but offers a more affordable alternative.
