The best time to go to Magic Mountain is in October, the last week they are open during the weekdays (the week of Halloween) on that Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.
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.
Toyota Prius battery life is affected by the number charge and discharge cycles the battery experiences. The typical life span of a Prius battery is from five (5) to seven (7) years, or about 180,000 miles. After this time, the Priusâ performance will start to decline, because the battery is not able to handle the load placed on it. The vehicle has a computerized battery power management system that prevents the battery from deep discharges, and continuous âtop-offâ charging that shorten battery life.
