Thank you for the demonstration my 2008 Prius is doing well. In love with my reliable Generation 2, 2008 Prius, with 170,000 miles. Bought new for 25K in 10/2007. It mainly garage kept and in excellent shape. Original Battery perhaps due to less corrosion on the hybrid battery connections? Also it’s not pushed going up large hills and high acceleration is minimized. Cleaned hybrid battery fan with an added cleanable filter screen at the air intake. Also easy on the battery in hot weather. Added front and rear running lights and a brighter break light. The HID headlights failed but replaced them myself by feeling my way with my hand and did not have to take the bumper off. They are much brighter than the originals. Replace the 12V battery twice. New water pump and drive belt. New left front bearing. 2 New PVC valve replacements. Fix a leak in the air-conditioning system. Replaced the front breaks once. Sometimes the dash lights go out 3 times a year when the weather gets cold. They will go back on within 50 miles of driving. Heard it’s cold solder joints or capacitor on the electronics? Went 65 K on the stock tires. Then 90K with the energy saver Defender Michelin tires and replaced them with the regular Defender Michelin tires. Loss a few miles per gallon but handles better with a softer ride maybe due to new thread. The Prius is used for long trips only with an average mileage of 50+ MPG. Short trips are by bike, feet and public transit all year. It’s a beautiful sports car Barcelona RED and a sleeping camping car with a 6’ bed with great cargo capacity. Adding a portable inverter makes a 115 Volt generator for back up efficient home power with the on and off cycle of the engine. The Princess Prius is a tough survivor like the princess cat in the movie “The Incredible Journey”. The beautiful large dash display is ahead of its time with sharp graphics like a space ship. Ran out of gas, and a whole dashboard lit up including the triangle of death (indicates serious malfunction - do something now!). Fortunately filled up 1/2 mile away before the battery became too low. Never again!! It’s an adventure reliable stealth vehicle that slips through the air quietly! It does well in snow with the upgraded traction control, but has a ground clearance 0f 5.6 inches. The electric motors distribute Torque more easily which is better for snow. It has the best smooth styling of all the model years. Definitely a incognito James Bond vehicle with secret abilities never to be underestimated. So watch out!!! Soon it will become a classic antique with appreciating value
I have same year Prius with same mileage 99K Miles ,looks like the program over-exaggerate the voltage differences ,showing huge differences with bars but in reality it's 0.05-0.1V ,it's perfect around 0.2V and getting bad over 0.5V
I’ve been messing with this app for a few months now. I’ve had a wide range of results for battery life expectancy. Have had 62%, 50% and 69% of new results for the three times I’ve ran the test. I think it’s really important for the engine to be at operating temp. My 50% result was starting from a very full battery and a coolant temp reading around 150 degrees. I immediately ran the test again, which required reving the engine to recharge the battery to the point where the app could start the test(this was much lower charge starting point than the first test), and the result was almost 20% better score than the first test. Being able to turn off traction control is worth the expense for this app/reader alone.
How many mpg do you get with the Prius HV battery in "fair" condition (according to the app)? Good MPG is the bottom line for me as long as no error codes are displayed. My 2010 Prius still gets 45-55mpg, but when I went to trade it in on a new Prius they said the battery needed replacement without even seeing it. Thanks for the video, not sure the app is worth $12 in my case, or $30K+ for a new Prius.

Wow! You've really taken great care of your Prius. It sounds like you'll be driving it for many years to come.

Thank you for the comment. I didn't think of the status of the engine when doing this.

The car was getting around 40MPG.
