Although hybrid batteries were intended to last the lifetime of the vehicle, some battery packs are losing power and performance earlier than their owners would like. Tell-tale signs include low energy, reduced torque, quick loss of battery charge, limited performance and significantly lower gas mileage.
Battery failure early signs. Discussion in 'Gen 2 Prius Main Forum' started by Extronic, Feb 4, 2013. My 05' with 130,000 miles has been acting weird lately. It likes to charge up to 8 bars all the time now. Before it was always around 5-7 bars. It goes down to purple 2 bars on a 2 mile hill climb. I see the bar from 6 going down to 3 or 2 immediately. When im driving on a flat road at constant speed. The battery is charging or being used continously.
