Is the 12 vlt Auxiliary Battery the same in Gen 2 and Gen 3? The reason I ask is that in my 2008 the aux. batt. had to be replaced at about 5 yrs.. and it was $250.00. I remember reading a thread that said there is a direct replacement batt. from Optima for the Gen 2 so I am wondering if the same batt. would be for Gen 3 when it comes time. I'm not paying another $250.00 for a dadgum 12 vlt batt.
The Gen 2, Gen 3, PiP, and the v all use the same battery. (I am not sure about the c) Optima DS46B24R Optima battery direct fit replacement for Prius 2004 + , Prius V & Plug-in Prius with Instructions Exide AGM Car Battery (Group S46B24R)
