My 2005 Prius with 125K miles has one bad cell according to the dealer diagnostics. I see in the posts some instructions on how to replace a cell (which the dealers won't do it seems). Is there a recommendation for a mechanic in the North East Ohio (Akron, Canton) region who works on these hybrid battery systems?
Cincinnati Hybrid: A Division of Overbeck Auto Services is a Re-involt shop. I'd at least call them for a 2nd opinion. Replacing 1 cell is not a good idea as the pack will have to be rebalanced.
