I don't need a parts store second guessing if I can do a job.

There is a significant core charge - I believe $1350 is the number. Also, the core must be unaltered Genuine Toyota; if you have already replaced with aftermarket and want to go back to OE, you are SOL.So if you DIY this task, what should happen to the old cell pack or individual cells? Garbage/landfill them or does someone take them back to recover the metals and credit you? Seems like a potential fire hazard.
Being in N. KY, either you:I have no idea how much hybrid battery replacement costs. For those of you who do, would it be economically feasible on a 2008 Prius with 147k miles that is otherwise in good mechanical shape?
Funny 3/3 of our cars have HID xenon and only 2 have warning stickers on electrocution. LED is no funI would let The Critic do it, due to risk of electrocution.
I agree but we've been letting our freedoms erode to the point where too many are complacent about deciding for us, what we're allowed to do.Tell them to eat a bag of d...s and your money's as green as the next guys.

When I am refused service I always ask who else offers their services around them and they usually concede.Tell them to eat a bag of d...s and your money's as green as the next guys.

This has been the argument with selling alcohol outside of bars, state stores, and beer distributors in PA for decades. The latest is places like Wawa & Sheetz gas stations.I agree but we've been letting our freedoms erode to the point where too many are complacent about deciding for us, what we're allowed to do.
It's just another reminder of the problem with the bigger picture of excessive government control and even when it isn't government control, the perceived precedent it sets for everyone else to be control freaks.
IMO it's about personal responsibility. It's not their call to make, who to sell to... should be illegal to practice that. I don think some will get over their heads trying, but that applies to so many areas of life that are unrelated to batteries and similarly have a bad outcome if someone isn't competent to make good choices.
I'd go the other way---remove all the hybrid stuff and supercharge or turbo it. Cheaper and slightly more fun before you break the engine. See if you can fit a Rav 4 engine in it and turbo it.I have no idea how much hybrid battery replacement costs.
