Gen4 Toyota Prius 12-Volt battery change for new one

Generation 4 (currently 2016 through 2022 model years) starting/starter battery replacement. My car would not start, it is under three years old and the original battery died in the summer heat yesterday. Luckily I had a "Jump Starter" that I had bought recently (and charged up at home) with me - that's called *being prepared*, and it saved my ass.

Love the explanation. Anyone with zero experience can do it (with your help)

I’m 65 yrs old haven’t change a battery in decades. This video was very helpful and ta da changed in less than 30 mins and it works.

I gotta give you big time kudos for this video. like the prior comment it's been centuries since I had to change a battery and obviously cars are way more complicated, even something as simple as this battery replacement did require a different approach then back in the day. Thanks bud for sharing, take care 🙂

This was very helpful when I changed my battery today. Thanks!

Helpful, thanks. I couldn’t remember which terminal to do first so I appreciate that you mentioned that, as well as the specific hex nut size.

Thanks, made it all simple, having this review of process and specifics of locating everything!

Thanks ! What a relief. I was afraid I would have to tow the car to a dealer for a computer reset. I am storing my son's car, and I don't drive it enough, so the original battery went completely dead
and now won't take a charge. Whew !

Thank u for very simple n straight-to-the-point presentation on this battery replacement. This helped me a lot cause I had thought that a battery replacement for a hybrid would b more technical. I noticed u didn't even need to wear rubber gloves for this procedure. Thanks again!

Thank you sir. Thanks to you, I a woman in her 30’s, was able to do it all on my own 🙌🏼

The video is is a bit basic for me, but it was helpful to know socket sizes in advance. This really sped up the installation process. It took me less then 10 minutes and that's with cleaning out the battery tray of loose dirt. Thanks. 2020 Prius here.

This was really helpful. Thanks for the guidance!

Really enjoyed the video. I was just wondering what is the best brand to buy for the car battery and I'm assuming you can get it at a retail car parts store.

Please let me know when you get a chance.

Thanks!

i fixed my car now it drives yay thank u

I appreciate this video and that you tried to keep the camera on things as you went - I know it's hard to work with one hand. Thanks! No other concerns within the computer system? I'm always leery since it has the hybrid battery in it if we have to do something else or reset anything else

Thank for telling us the battery you used to replace the toyota battery and where you got it. My dealership, miracle toyota wants to charge me $300 to change the battery. They also wanted to charge me $914 for 3 tires and a 4th for free. I went to Discount Tire and got 4 tires for $581. They are awesoe tires and so much quieter

Did you use a memory saver? I keep seeing videos about using one.
