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

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 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.
