You can replace the hybrid battery pack for $600â$2000. It will be more expensive to do it at the Toyota dealer, and the model of the car also affects price. I have had 3 Priuses in my family, and only had to replace one battery pack (200,000+ miles). I ordered a replacement battery pack from a rebuilder and had it shipped to my mechanic, who had no problems changing things out. The total cost was $1200, back in 2011.
