My hybrid battery died on my 2007 Prius and I looked at quite a few videos on how to repair it. This is absolutely the most detailed video I found. He also does an excellent job at having the camera pointed at the right place so you can see exactly what he is doing. I also like the fact that he is one of the few folks that reverses the process so you can get everything put back together. I agree with one of the other comments "This is how DIY videos should be made". Thanks a bunch for taking the time to do such a detailed video!
I have never seen anybody with any automotive videos give so much detail by snaps clicks clips I hope you make a lot more automated videos. You give so much instruction it is awesome. Thank you so very much. It was so awesome to see how you took it apart and you put it back together.
@Matthew Lindsay hi. Did you change them with new ones or used ones? Where did you get them from? And how’s your car now? I’m from London, UK and own a garage here but never changed cells. Thanks
@Matthew Lindsay thanks for your detailed reply. Have you come to know any proper way of load testing cells? It would really help me start working on them. Thanks
here's a few ideas for getting a good result never try to do this unless you know what you are doing - the acid can burn your skin Test the voltage first - there may be a kaput cell which would waste your time. Check the battery fluid. attempt to fully charge the battery. (I read about these and more on Jons mender guide website )
I followed this video, bought my replacement refurbished battery modules from Electron Automotive, and completed the replacement in about 3.5 hours. About of what the dealer estimated, and I'm a 66 year old DIYer. With no special tools. Had to by a small $20 torque wrench from Harbor Freight. Except for my screw ups, (which I could have avoided if I watched the video a little closer.) everything worked as advertised and all codes cleared. Chris and Taylor (Tyler?) took all my questions and answered everything in plain accurate terms. AMAZING RESULTS!!! Saved $1,000 BOOM!
Very helpful! The step by step forward and backward was exactly what I needed for installing a new battery in my car, and I don't consider myself mechanically inclined at all...
Unbelievable. I don't know what to say other than THANK YOU for taking the time to put such a detailed video together. You will never know how many people you have helped... thank you, thank you, thank you!
This is the best instructional video I have ever seen! This guy is so clear and meticulous and well spoken. I am confident I can do it. thank you so much.
Great video. Thanks for making it and your others! Essential for "putting the HV battery back together". I wasted 2 hours doing stupid things, until removing the modules from the shell of the battery was revealed to me in a moment of enlightenment!
I just finished this project on my Prius with the kit from Electron. Very manageable for a DIY'er! I needed a breaker bar for the rear seat back bolts. Also, the video doesn't go into how to remove the copper conductors from the orange bus bars. To release the spade connectors and free the copper conductors, I pushed a small flat-head screwdriver under the crimps to gently lift them out.
That's Because he is in the business of selling you a new 28 module pack, they supply the new buss bars with the coper conductors as stated in the video.
Hello Chris, Your tutorial on Second Generation Prius hybrid battery replacement has helped me do this job myself on my 2005 Toyota Prius at home in my garage. Thank you!
Thank you for this well produced tutorial on how to change out the traction battery. Watched it a couple of times and tackled the job in less than three hours including breaks to review the video. Saved me a bundle and could now repeat the procedure in half the time.
I was unsure about doing this job until watching this video. thanks for putting the time in. super clear and I can tell you're organized yourself which makes it easy to follow. some how to mechanics go fast to show how bad ass they are in the garage but how tos are usually for civilians not pros.
I have to thank you for taking the time to make such a complete instructional video. You saved me so much time just on taking the interior apart, let alone the battery disassembly. To me, the interior removal is the hardest part of any job I do that requires some of it to be removed. It's okay if a bolt snaps on my wife's car that she can't see but there's hell to be paid if I snap a tiny piece of plastic in the interior. So, you helped me to fix my wife's car and stay married. That's a win win for me!!!
Thank you for your time!. I'm automobile mechanic and I'm trying to learn hybrids car but I always hear them are dangerous to work but watching your videos. Still dangerous but taking precautions I will be fine..🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Super coverage of how to replace...I did not mind doing it myself and this video added confidence I can do it. I did it twice as some of the cells were bad and I did replace them, but later few others went bad (leaked) and I a not sure why. So have to do the same steps again. Now I think I can help others to fix it.
Another Hoovie watcher. My 2008 Prius is still going fine, over 200,000 miles, and been soooo dependable. When the battery finally fails. I will be in contact with you. I am a DIY guy from the word go.
Same here, used this video to swap my battery and really appreciate you. I also needed a new battery management module which you shipped right out to me, it was an exact replacement and cheaper than anywhere else that I could find it. Skip
Thanks for the instructional video. Nicely done! I would only recommend to use a clip removing tool instead of needle nose pliers - easy to work with and easy on clips since you are planning on to reuse them.
Fantastic video! My buddy and I replaced the whole module instead of the cells. Less than 2 hours. Hoping I get another 13 years on my blue beast. I really appreciated your explaining bolt sizes and how many.
you all are the best great video. alsome help!!! me and 18 year old grand daughter did the work as a team.. a few missing part which you all helped out on. car starts ready for test drive..
Well done and descriptive video-- as a video maker myself one suggestion would be to have a remote microphone clipped to your coveralls, then there will be less echo and the audio will remain the same thought the video-- takes it to a more professional level.
I came across a Toyota prius on sale for 1400. Needs a battery replacement. TurboTax on tobacco but will not drive. When I looked up a replacement, inwas thinking that a replacement would be much more than just 1200. This replacement and the tools needed seem way more simple than what I had in mind or heard of others complaining of having to replace it.
Awesome video. Such expertise. I just watched another of these but for the 2010 - 2015 Prius. That guy used protective gloves and made it look a lot more dangerous to dismantle. These NiMH hybrid batteries are really great Engineering Tech.
Hi. Just watched this excellent video to where you are reassembling,. At 1:03:30 when you put the nuts on the main power wires, you ran the nuts down with your screw gun but did not torque them!!! . This is such an awesome video. I seriously think I could change my Prius battery watching this video.
Very detailed, professional, helpful, humble, and family friendly instructional video! You guys have my business if and when my 2007 Prius battery ever needs replacement. One question, though. Do you offer a discount to military services members? Please keep up the excellent work and thank you!
I don't know why but this amuses me! When I was a teenager I always took apart my gaming consoles to clean them inside and put it back together. It was fun to me
Awesome 👍! Appreciate how you thoroughly explained the process, also the detailed & exceptionally well performed job! It's truly a rare thing now days, thank you for inspiring!
i am watching it because if i buy one of these at some point I'll want to be able to work on it. But for entertainment, at 8:39 we can see a little cameo by the camera person reflected in the shiny finish and the window!
Thank you so much for this video. I replaced one of my hybrid battery cells. After placing back the battery and completely securing it, the engine wouldn't start. I have been watching lots of videos to find out why the engine wouldn't start despite the 12 volt battery is fully charged. My prius has been down for a week now and I did not want to take it to dealership as it costs so much I can't afford it. Eventually, after watching your video, I found out that I wasn't placing the orange safety switch properly. I feel dumb and lucky at the same time that I didn't spend unnecessary money trying to fix it. Thanks to your video again.
Electron Automotive, I live near your office (Laguna Woods, CA) and would like to donate my Gen II for another video. I have 254,000 miles on it and think my battery needs changing. Seriously I assume I can take it to your shop and save some cost. I am a veteran if you have military discounts. You will love my 2005 Silver Prius its a real gem.
Hi William, Donating your car would be awesome! We are always looking for cars we can fix up and donate to less fortunate people/families. Christmas is coming up so the timing would be great. Give us a call and we can explain how everything works.
For the top heat sensor I flipped the plastic black expanding pin and attached it to the side of one of the square holes in the center. It fits perfect.
I have a 2010 Prius I am working on that has the P0A80 error code. I have worked with replacing Hybrid Batteries with refurbished or just simply pluck out the modules in the past, however, this car is driving me a bit nuts. When I use Dr. Prius to determine which module/block is the problem, it doesn't tell me anything, and instead says the hybrid battery passed the test but is reporting the P0A80 DTC. I ended up removing the hybrid battery, scanned each module and each module ranged around ~7.9 - 8.1 V (this battery was replaced very recently). I then decided to remove the buss bars and properly clean them with vinegar and baking soda, this helped clean them (and I have done this a few times in different batteries). I even re-measured the modules after re-attaching the cleaned up buss bars and nuts that hold everything and each module gave me acceptable/good voltage, so it is clear the modules are not a problem here. However, when I install the hybrid battery again, I scan through Techstream and still see the P0A80 code. I am absolutely puzzled why this is the case when each module is fine, and I thoroughly cleaned up all the connectors. I cleaned the hybrid fan as well (which was quite dirty). I, of course, am not seeing a yellow/red triangle or check engine light (I assume I'll see it after driving it ~50 miles). Any idea what else could be the cause? I very recently (as of last week) replaced the 12V battery from the dealer. Totally open to any advice or tips to resolving this problem!
Great video. I have two 05s and replaced the battery myself in one (blue) with a battery from an 08 model. It was storm damaged and has been setting now for 3 years. The hybrid battery and 12 volt battery are both dead. The other 05 (red) is now having problems and wondered if I could move the battery from one (blue) to the other (red). Will it start and charge as long as the 12 volt battery is good. Thanks for any advice
Great video.. start to finish. You left nothing unsaid or uncovered. anyone with a complaint for whatever reason needs to get a life. Thanks again. Do you have any videos that go into testing ?
2007 Prius Torque Question: What is the Torque inch lbs for the 2 main relays that connect to the vehicle to the traction battery? Also, what are the Torque Inch Lbs for the individual Battery moduals where the bus bars mount? I set my reg inch lbs torque wrench to 48 inch lbs but immediately snapped off a bolt post. I also had a beam inch lbs torque wrench but just didn't use it... Thanks for your help
Thank you so much for this video! It made my own disassembly go so much faster! Question... at 16:10, what is that wiring harness for with the gray cap, hanging to the left of your left hand? Mine was blue and I didn't notice any markings noting what it was for. Thanks again!
Did you disconnect/reconnect the 12 volt to do this? You didn't do anything to it before starting the car so I want to make sure I can check if the car works without messing with it. Thanks!
I work at a garage and thid video helped me so much thank you! Since I changed the battery when I turn the hazards on the rear fog lamp turns on also, could that be anything to do with the battery, could you help me please?!
Mr Luuck7 Hey buddy how's it going, no those are two separate systems. We work on a LOT of prius and we have never seen that which makes me think someone may have tampered with wiring like an aftermarket alarm or something. Thanks for the comment and good luck!
Batteries lasted longer than expected and way past warranty ... I'm installing the new/used batteries from you guys today on a 2007 Prius @ 207,000 miles
If you want a reliable battery you will need to do the whole thing. If you have 4 out of 28 that are bad then you likely have 5-10 more that we be failing shortly after. Hope this helps :)
Very detailed video. I am afraid to ask how much for parts for my repair on a 2005 Prius. I’m scared because I don’t have much money. Take payments? And hope my battery doesn’t die by then. Just received code C1241, C1256, C1259, and C1310. This scares me because I commute 74 miles to Fontana
I'm at my desk and don't havet the specs are on the individual units however, my electrical engineer friend says that DC currents above 25mA at 50 V are considered hazardous. I won't be completely casual when handling individual pieces.

Got it done in about 4 hours with this video. 290k on this old girl, hopefully she'll go another 100k, atleast.

100x100 chingon this dude it's not the classic Mexican mechanic
I have never touched a ratchet before in my life but I managed to get my own car running thanks to this.
This video helped me save over $2,000 because I was able to replace my 2005 prius battery myself! This guy deserves an award!
Been watching RUclips tutorials for auto repair going on 20 years. Can't recall a better instructional video. Nice job, man.
Almost three years later you are still helping people with this excellent tutorial. Thank you!!!

Terrific video, no unnecessary banter, covers all the essentials and all the "What about.....?" Fantastic.
One of the best instructional videos I've ever seen! Your knowledge and teaching skills have really made this look do-able. Great camera work too!
Thanks for the info! My fav part is 25:29 when i was provided peace of mind.
Well done with your video!! Thank you for taking the scare out of hybrid.

This is such an awesome video. I seriously think I could change my Prius battery watching this video.
Best car work tutorial I've seen
Most helpful video and seriously handsome instructor, 10 thumbs up to both lol
Really good detail, explanation, and tempo to your video.
Awesome video. Very clear step-by-step process with a lot of detail. Thanks a bunch.
Very detailed, professional, helpful, humble, and family friendly instructional video! You guys have my business if and when my 2007 Prius battery ever needs replacement. One question, though. Do you offer a discount to military services members? Please keep up the excellent work and thank you!

Excellent tutorial! Appreciate you putting this together helped tremendously.
Camera man needs a nap, you can hear him yawn at 53m3s. Great video!
Very well done Young Man I Think I could do it my self ty
i am watching it because if i buy one of these at some point I'll want to be able to work on it. But for entertainment, at 8:39 we can see a little cameo by the camera person reflected in the shiny finish and the window!
Great video! I think your detailed step by step video is the best. Thank you!
Very good video, awesome teacher and easy to follow. Give this guy a raise.
Really great video. The best available on this topic. Thank you!!!
Great video! Always wondered how involved a battery swap was and this shows you!
Thank you so much for this video.
I replaced one of my hybrid battery cells. After placing back the battery and completely securing it, the engine wouldn't start. I have been watching lots of videos to find out why the engine wouldn't start despite the 12 volt battery is fully charged.

You're awesome. I appreciate the acknowledgement and am happy it was able to help you. Congrats on fixing a hybrid battery!
Nice video, complete and detail, would like to bring my prius 2007 there
I saved thousands watching this comprehensive video. Thank you
This video helped quite a lot and allows me to perform the work
Great video !! the only thing is I would check the cooling fan for operation and make sure the filter is cleaned , other than that , good job.
This was amazing. Thank you! I watched your video and it was extremely clear to follow.

Hi William,
Donating your car would be awesome! We are always looking for cars we can fix up and donate to less fortunate people/families. Christmas is coming up so the timing would be great.
Give us a call and we can explain how everything works.
Very good demonstration, thank you very much brother
Very attentive camera work. Excellent.
Great work, i wish i saw this video before trying to replace one module, after replacing car doesn't turn on any advice?
For the top heat sensor I flipped the plastic black expanding pin and attached it to the side of one of the square holes in the center. It fits perfect.

I change the battery pack twice

This video is really really great! Thank you for making this
outstanding, best on youtube by far
You could teach at a community college. I had mine replaced and it's not getting but 38 mpg now. I'm also getting the red triangle.
Hoovie sent me! Thanks for hooking him up with that Prius Battery. -Fresno, CA Prius Driver
Thank You! I got it in! Really appreciate this video
Thanks I'd forgotten where all this went.
The d rings
The long bolts too.
And black screws on corners
I followed your replacement of the hybrid battery. It worked out every well. I went to turn the car on and got a P0ACC code what, would cause this?
Great video.. start to finish. You left nothing unsaid or uncovered. anyone with a complaint for whatever reason needs to get a life. Thanks again. Do you have any videos that go into testing ?
A very detailed video excellently created
Glad you liked it!
2007 Prius Torque Question:
What is the Torque inch lbs for the 2 main relays that connect to the vehicle to the traction battery?
Also, what are the Torque Inch Lbs for the individual Battery moduals where the bus bars mount?
I set my reg inch lbs torque wrench to 48 inch lbs but immediately snapped off a bolt post. I also had a beam inch lbs torque wrench but just didn't use it...
Thanks for your help
Best video, need thus video to do it the first time now I have memorized the procedure be don’t it several times
Thank you so much for this video! It made my own disassembly go so much faster! Question... at 16:10, what is that wiring harness for with the gray cap, hanging to the left of your left hand? Mine was blue and I didn't notice any markings noting what it was for. Thanks again!
Did you disconnect/reconnect the 12 volt to do this? You didn't do anything to it before starting the car so I want to make sure I can check if the car works without messing with it. Thanks!
These hybrid batteries can be reconditioned and can be used to perform 10,000 mileage.
Thank you for the helpful video and answering a few questions I had when I called today!
I work at a garage and thid video helped me so much thank you! Since I changed the battery when I turn the hazards on the rear fog lamp turns on also, could that be anything to do with the battery, could you help me please?!
Mr Luuck7 Hey buddy how's it going, no those are two separate systems. We work on a LOT of prius and we have never seen that which makes me think someone may have tampered with wiring like an aftermarket alarm or something. Thanks for the comment and good luck!
Batteries lasted longer than expected and way past warranty ... I'm installing the new/used batteries from you guys today on a 2007 Prius @ 207,000 miles
WOW... Great video...... YOU MAKE IT EASY....
I in joy this program, it was really helpful
My prius has 220000 miles does rebalancing amd takong middle cells and change place to out help prolong its life?
One of the best vids on YT
I have prius 3rd gen, bad reading on four cells. Is it okay to replace that particular four cells. ? Or need to change whole pack. ?
If you want a reliable battery you will need to do the whole thing. If you have 4 out of 28 that are bad then you likely have 5-10 more that we be failing shortly after. Hope this helps :)
Thank you! This helps so much!
THANK YOU!!!! WHAT A GREAT JOB. THE BEST INSTRUCTION BY FAR!!! Now do one replacing the drivers side front headlight bulb.
Very detailed video. I am afraid to ask how much for parts for my repair on a 2005 Prius. I’m scared because I don’t have much money. Take payments? And hope my battery doesn’t die by then.
Just received code C1241, C1256, C1259, and C1310. This scares me because I commute 74 miles to Fontana
I'm at my desk and don't havet the specs are on the individual units however, my electrical engineer friend says that DC currents above 25mA at 50 V are considered hazardous. I won't be completely casual when handling individual pieces.
Thank you for your video, Excellent tutorial!
great tutorial
thanks for sharing your knowledge
if I ever needs it, I definitely want you to do it...haha You are brilliant teachers. thank you very much.
Thanks for taking the time to do this video. It helped me immensely! It would have take me 3x to do it with out your video. Nice job.
Do you need to disconnect anything before doing this for safety?
Hoovie sent me also. This is amazing!
