Hi All, I've just got the 2012 Prius V with 95K on it and very confuse about the Toyota Warranty for the Hybrid Battery Manual and Toyota dealer say the hybrid battery is warranted for 8 years / 100K - whichever comes first while "google" shows 10 years / 150K warranty in California (or CARB States) Lastly, what should i do if the battery dies after the 8 years / 100K ? Your advise is greatly appreciated!
My advice is to call the dealer with your vin. I am pretty sure you get 10 years 150k if it was sold in California. If the battery goes out after warranty buy another one. But they almost always go 150k or more. As a result all states get the 150k mile warranty on 2020 models. New Toyota batteries are around $2300 with aftermarket new and “rebuilt” (used) selling for much less. Assuming the car is worth fixing by then.
hi Rjparker, i've been at the dealer for an oil changed while checking for the "extended" hybrid battery life - 8 years / 100K is what the dealer and the manual said. Anyone out there (in California) has the battery problems between 8 years / 100K and 10 years / 150K? Do we contact Toyota directly for the services? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Go to Toyota's web site and enter your VIN. Track Your Service Records with Your Toyota Owners Account It will tell you where your car was originally sold, and any service history that's been done at a Toyota dealer. If the car was originally sold in CA (or another CARB state), it has the 10 year/150K mile warrantee. If it does, you could point that out to your dealer the next time you're in there.

You are saying the 2012 V only get the original hybrid battery warranty (8yrs/100K) while regular Prius got extended up to 10 yrs / 150K??? Posted via the PriusChat mobile app.
The v and the c are just sweet nothings and after thoughts, someone dreamed em up and they became reality. If you are concerned for your battery, hybridautomotive.com is a good read and there are many threads here on it. Also, if you are just over the warranty and your battery fails, Toyota is known to sometimes extend good will. Another, replacing with aftermarket such as newpriusbatteries.com is economical for the DIY'er And last but not least, Toyota OEM battery is a best fit, and while some dealers like to charge absurd amounts on the quote and invoice, it has been known that under $2k price has been happening. Might DIY to also keep it under that price.
