    My 2009 with ~157k is still on the original battery. Don't know how long it will last. Last voltage check with Autel scanner shows almost all have voltages close to each other. Forgot the exact number. Cleaned the battery fan few months back . Car is driven daily for roughly 35+ miles.

    Just want to find out who have the most mileage and oldest battery. Curious to know.

    That will be veeeery hard to decipher, my own 2005 g2 passed the absurd 300.000 km ECU/ODO limit already 2017… Still has the original traction battery and it reaches green easily, unless very cold, and has good voltages and resistances.

    I haven’t found any way to determine the actual runtime of the engine. Since 2006 the g2 model could count correctly.

    If you run the car daily as you mention, it’s likely in excellent shape! It’s longer term non-usage/charging inactivity that kills any battery.

    Buddy I'm not positive 07 or 09. It's not the early short nose 04 or 5

    My 2007 Prius has 749k km (465k mi.) on the original HV battery.

    Data logging with an OBDLink still shows less than 0.3 V difference between the 14 battery blocks.

    As preventative maintenance during the last few years, I have been doing a semi-deep discharge without an external discharger, followed by a top balancing charge, using a Prolong grid charger. I do this roughly once a year. I have not seen enough of a difference between before and after to know if it actually does any good.
