The Prius battery is likely to last the same amount of time as standaed nickel metal hydrirde batteries which is about 1000+ charges or between 5 to 10 years; whichever comes first. After that it becomes pretty useless, is thrown away, and then does more environmental damage than a supercharged Range Rover
A cheap hybrid battery for Toyota Prius 2006 can be bought from online stores.
Since 1998 no Prius have had battery replacement due to "wearing out". So far only accidents or defective batteries have been replaced. Keep in mind the Prius does not use one big battery either, instead it is 10 or 12 smaller batteries in a long casing. If one should deplead they would just replace that unit. Toyota expected the batteries to last 8-10 years but are now finding out they will last much longer. They only way to really test it is to let time go buy and see.
Honda does not make the Prius, it is a Toyota product. "Toyota Prius" batteries are manufactured by Panasonic.
