That's nice that you did the write up, but some of your "facts" need a little back checking. The battery warranty is for 100k miles in most places, 150k in California Emissions states. The latin for Prius means 'before' or "to go before", first is a close loose translation. Also, an explaination of why the battery won't die as early as the one in your laptop might be a bit more convincing than just saying it's warrantied that long. Further, it's expected to last the life of the car due to the way the system is designed.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(IsrAmeriPrius @ Dec 10 2006, 07:51 PM) [snapback]360237[/snapback]</div> "Nihil est in intellectu quod prius non fuerit in sensu." Thomas Aquinas, I think..... "Nothing is in the mind which was not AT FIRST in the senses." "Prius" translates more or less as "previously." You can see the connection with "primus": "first." "Dux" means leader. (We get Duke from that.) The teacher may have confused it with "prior" which is one who goes first, as in the Prior of a monastery.
