Prius hybrid battery replacement. Learn how to replace a hybrid battery in a 04-09 Toyota Prius and make money while you're at it! Replacing a hybrid battery is not difficult at all.

I show you how to scan the computer to check the hybrid battery and we got a P0A80 code which means replace hybrid EV battery. I also show you how to clean the hybrid battery fan to keep the battery cool. To remove a Toyota Prius hybrid battery you remove a few interior trim pieces, unbolt the hybrid battery, swap out battery cells, and reinstall. While I did fix a Prius, you can apply the same process to many other hybrids like Honda, Chevy, Nissan, Ford, and Lexus. So whether you are Prius to fix and flip for a quick profit wheeler dealer style, or you want to fix your hybrid so you can continue to use it, here is the in-depth video on how to replace a hybrid battery safely and easily.

Reminds me of when I was a kid watching my dad work on the car except with these videos I'm not holding a flash light and getting yelled at.

My brand new bride and I had just purchased a house that needed a whole lot of work right after she graduated medical school and her Prius started throwing every warning light on the dash.We did not have a whole lot of money and a new battery from the dealership would have been more than the car was worth. This video gave us the knowledge and confidence to replace the battery together, Thank you.

I can't believe no one has commented on the quality of this video....
It was slick and very professional... Very clear and precise and made good use of clever video techniques.
I doubt I'll ever have a Prius but I loved that video... Thanks for that Chris

[Adrianwesker]

Thank you saved me $4200 labor plus parts and took me 25 min. My prius feels brand new! Thank you so much. I'm a guy with no mechanical skill. Thank you Chris fix. 😊

Am I the only one who has absolutely no plans on changing a hybrid battery or really anything he does on his videos but watch his videos any way ? 😂😂

[chahal]

Changing battery 10%
Unbolting & bolting screws 90%

CHRIS WHY AM I LOOKING FOR USED PRIUSES NOW

At 21:40 - just a note that it's necessary to bolt the battery to the car before attaching the electrical connections. One bolt is longer and black, and goes in the upper left corner. I think this is the ground bolt. If you connect everything and start the car, you'll get strange errors without the battery bolted in. Don't ask me how I know. :)

I don't even own a hybrid but this was actually pretty cool to watch.

[husseinel-hajj]

You know what's awesome about your videos? You don't just say "putting is the reverse of taking out" and walk away. Instead, you still give us footages about re-installing things, and you've always been doing this on other videos too. I don't have a Prius but I watched the entire video and enjoyed the way you describe things and steps and your camera work is excellent. Wish you all the good luck!

[larrybriggs]

I dont even have a Prius or need to know how to do the battery change. However, you were so professional and explained everything so well, I watched the entire video. What a fantastic job you did and your video skills are very good. I give this video a ☆☆☆☆☆ rating!

[IHAI]

The quality of the editing in this video is insane

[kyranoscopy]

I seriously don’t understand how a person can be so perfect. I love you chrisfix

[dryroasted]

I watched the whole video and I don't own a Prius.  Very well presented information, Thanks.

4 years later and he still loves and replies on his videos. This man needs more love and credit! Been watching ChrisFix for years and his content still entertains me and inspires me to be a good mechanic. Keep it up Christ! ❤

[huntbradwalt]

Do I need to know this? No. But I can't resist a ChrisFix video!

[steamvalve]

They asked me for $ 5300 on 10.03.2020. I changed it myself by watching your video. I paid 1100 just for the battery. I also cleaned the fan. thank you.

[fjohngte]

Bro, a lot of guys work on cars 🚗 but you explain what you’re doing better than anyone else I have seen.

[kennethzagone]

I’ve never seen a cleaner, clearer communicated, researched video before ever. Man, you are a great teacher and mechanic. Thank you so much for saving me hundreds of dollars.

I'm an electrician. Trained by the US Navy and over 30 years in that field so, legit. A word on electrical safety. Once you had the battery together and started the car there was upwards of 200 volts on the two high voltage connections on the battery. In your next step, you held solid metal tools and the cable strain relief clamp plate right over the high voltage connections. If you had dropped them or touch those connections you would have been shocked or sparks would fly. It could ruin your new battery as well or start a fire. Please be careful during this step. You need to put a piece of plastic or something nonconductive over the high voltage connections while the covers are not in place. Safety first. More people get electrocuted off of 120 volts than any other voltage and I guarantee those high voltage connections have a higher voltage than that. Food for thought. I love your videos Chris and I am a subscriber so keep up the good work. I support your channel and all the charity work you do Chris.
