    Aloha,

    first time user. I have a 2010 Prius. Having a problem with hybrid battery.

    do i need to replace the entire battery pack or refurbish individual modules?

    Use Dr. Prius app to read the subcodes and then we can tell you if it's just an inexpensive part that needs to be replaced... Toyota won't do this, they'll want to charge $5K to replace everything even when that's not needed. The buyer's guide for the device the reads the data for Dr. Prius app is here:Hybrid battery diagnostic and repair tool for Toyota and Lexus

    welcome!
    you can do either. it's a matter of cost vs expediency

    how many miles on her?

    Since mileage is not important and budget is not an issue, you want to buy an new battery.
