How Long Does a Toyota Prius Battery Last?

The Toyota Prius is a little different than the normal Toyota vehicle as it has two batteries. A high-voltage battery is used to run the car and a low voltage battery is used to run the computers. The low voltage battery is basically a standard car battery, which means that it will need replacing every 3 to 5 years. The high voltage battery is what makes the hybrid powertrain go and it is a nickel metal hydride until that should last for 150,000 miles.
