Optimal mileage for a Prius is not obtained by trying to drive extended distances on just the battery. This will actually lower your overall MPG. Driving on just the battery will be encouraged with the introduction of plug-in models around 2010, but until then just drive current model Prius like any other car. But, to answer the question; about a mile on flat ground starting with a nearly full battery.

How often do i need to change the battery for a Toyota Prius?
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.
How often do you have to replace the battery for a Prius?
There are two different batteries in the Toyota Prius. There is a small 12 volt battery used for powering up the computer and powering the 12 volt accessories in the car. The other is the high voltage battery. The small 12 volt battery lasts on average 4 or 5 years. This battery is usually trouble free, unless you don't drive your prius very much. I believe these run around $150 USD. The lifespan of the high voltage battery varies. I saw one go bad at around 90,000 miles. Another prius made 150,000 on its high voltage battery. Expect to pay about $3,500 USD for one of these. Both of these batteries can only be purchased at your local Toyota dealer.

How long will a hybrid car last before the battery must be replaced?
HybridsTo be really honest, it remains to be seen. Although the Prius and other hybrids have been out for a while, apparently not enough have been sold or traded in to get an accurate estimate. It is known that once a Prius exceeds the warranty, once the batteries do die, and eventually they will, they can cost as much as $4000 to replace! Estimates for a battery life are about three to five years. You may do slightly better if you never let the batteries deep cycle.*****It'a true that a Prius typically exceeds it's waranty period. Battery packs on the 04-09 model prius will go sometime after 175 000 km. I service and repair Prius's all day 5 days a week for a fleet of over 300.

What is the life time for the Toyota Prius battery?
The main battery pack (behind the rear seat) should last for 12 - 15 years. The Prius battery pack is always charged above 70% of max and because of this lasts longer. The small ordinary battery that powers up the instruments should also last longer than in other vehicles. This should last over 7 to 8 years. The small battery only powers up the instruments, it is not used to turn over the engine. Actually the Prius battery can last 13+ years as it has already been proven (13 years in production, with relatively few problems). Japan was the first country to get the Prius, in 1998. According to Toyota the battery charge is kept constantly between a 45% charge and 75% charge. The charge indicator is 75% charge at max, and 45% charge at min. (which is never reached in practice). It likes to stay over 60% charge.With this approach the battery never over charges or under charges. Kind of like your cell phone, which is a lithium battery but same principal applies. We let our cell phones die then we plug them in before we go to bed. So the cell phone battery goes from no juice to being over charged, which over time kills the battery sooner. Cell phone companies tend not to talk too much about this as it adds added sales in batteries every 1-2 years.
