Hybrid Battery

Calm my friends, rumor and opinion can be overcome with fact

 

There have been reports posted here on PriusChat of people being denied traction batteries at dealers, including at least one where someone ponied up the money online, then arranged transportation to go a considerable distance to that dealer to pick it up, only to be told at the counter "oh, we can't hand it to you."

So it is reasonable for a person to want to understand how prevalent those experiences are.

 

Toyota hybrid battery upgrade pack– NexPower Energy

Is this really 2014, or 2024?

I thought the sodium battery was more recent?

30K seems a lot in less than a year?

 

Obviously, a typo.....

 

So Sept 2024?


Please give us more feedback on this battery ASRDogman?

I do note the company gives a discount if you have one of their earlier batteries that failed prematurely, that seems pretty good.

 

Planned obsolescence, yet we fall for it every time

 

Go right to the source, Jack.
It's been working for me! I'm very happy with it.

 

IMO, the NexPower Sodium-Ion battery is a gamble. No one knows how long it will last in a Prius until they have been tested for 5 to 10 years. This battery is now being beta tested by the people who purchase the battery. The previous NexPower v1 and v2 Lithium-Ion batteries were also beta tested by the people who purchased it, and that did not go too well. There is nothing available on the market today better than a new Toyota OEM battery, which has proven to last for 10 or more years.

 

Some people buy houses that have flooded five times and require flood insurance. Slightly lower cost, updated interiors, first time inexperienced buyers. It does not end well but many folks only learn from the school of hard knocks.
