Just saw this on AOL Autos: "When a battery pack does go bad, how much does it cost to replace it once it's out of warranty? To get a sense for this kind of expense, we called our local Toyota dealership, Dunning Toyota of Ann Arbor, Mich., and spoke with service manager Woody Woods. Woods said that although there are three different battery packs that have been used in the different Prius models over the years, the replacement cost is similar, ranging from about $2,300 to $2,700, without labor (which isn't that much, in this case, adding less than 10 percent to the total)." So - $230 to $270 to replace the traction battery?
I know that when Re-InVolt sells rebuilt Prius HV Batteries, they offer to install them for $282. (They are 'nearby' you) It would not surprise me that the dealerships have to do more swapping of parts, so charge more. 2004-2009 Toyota Prius Hybrid Battery Pack.: eBay Motors (item 130401272005 end time Jun-27-10 03:39:59 PDT)

Of course HV battery now is dead, (too old) and this battery included modules type D (six cells round in plastic tube inside the basket 7.2 V/p/modull) nominal voltage this unit 288V. Yours know some workshop to buy a replacement?
