The black piece holding the two rods together is away from the electronics (9:35) before the disassembly and it goes to the opposite end next to the electronics after the assembly (15:35). Two people I see caught this and commented below. It would be nice if this was corrected. Everything should be assembled the same way they were before.
i wish you to do more videos about hybrid vehicle reparing.as a technician i am so glad that you sharing with us your knowledge.thank you.and i need a request.please make a video how to check bad cells and good battery cells
You're welcome. Im really happy with how many people this video has reached and helped out and always appreciate the compliments. We do not have videos on how to find and replace the bad cells because it is a repair that does not last long and in many situations, it does not work at all
Hi, thanks for a wonderful step by step explanation of the whole process. I would urge you to kindly correct the assembling part where you have placed the other end towards the electronics.I totally understand that this was for demonstrational purposes and the idea is to put back everything as it came out. However, some following your video very carefully could get confused. Also, a quick question, is Module no.28 on 3rd gen next to the electronics and module 1 towards the black connected bars side. Thanks again for this great video.
@@metrork1 This question always comes up when going through the Gen 2 and 3. Is it always like that even in Gen 2 with the electronics are on the driver's side of the HV block?
Hey man great videos. I'm preparing to do a cell change myself. One question, I heard you talk about the electronics on the battery rarely failing. When I took my Prius to the Toyota dealer, aside from quoting me a new battery he told me I needed to change the hybrid system computer, because when batteries are changed usually the CPU burns out, not that's something wrong now, just for precautions. Sounds to me like a whole lot of bull crap what do you think? I have a 2010 Prius with 150000Km and a P0A80 error message.
@@electronautomotive991 Eventually I changed the battery with a new one from another dealer, a honest one, computers untouched. I still have to report the 1st dealer to Toyota. I didn't have any other alternatives, I live in Mexico, here nobody has figured out how to service these batteries, rebalancing by swapping bad cells. I turned every stone and I literally couldn't find anyone serious. Damn shame!
@@andresvaldevit3692 hi there. 8 year toyota dealership technician here. just wanted to let ya know, the hack that recommended the ECU along with the battery pack only did so because they were not sure of their diagnosis. it's lazy, inexperienced, and incredibly costly for you - the customer. i've seen this happen time and time again with many if not all systems and components on gas vehicles, hybrids and beyond. i encourage you to find a mechanic you trust and stick with them with extreme loyalty. ask them what parts were tested and what the results of the tests were etc. a REAL mechanic takes an extra 20 minutes to test everything not just assume and swap and pray
@@MrBeefsnorkel Hi. It’s been a while since I got my Prius fixed, at another Toyota dealer who diagnosed correctly and swapped the battery alone. I sold that car last year. First and I think last hybrid I’m ever going to buy. It was my fault. I bought it 8 years old used, and I got exited from the cheap price without knowing all the the possible issues that can come. From this experience I'm getting normal cars only from now or full electric (bought new) at most. Sadly at that time I lived in a country where hybrids and EVs in general were fairly new and aside from the dealers there were no other mechanic trained in repairing these vehicles. Now I came back to live in Europe and here these vehicles aren’t new at all.
Hello and thank you for very detailed video. Can you please let me know is it necessary to replace all Cell or can you measure all cells and identify the bad ones and then replace only those?
It's gonna help you just for a few month. Just buy a new one or a used one from a newer car. I've replaced first 4 pairs then in a few weeks 1 and then in a few weeks again amd it just never ends. Don't waste your time and money. I saw a lithium one with a lifetime garantee for about 1700$. Google it.
I just replaced one of the cell on mine. Don't buy used cell--get the refurbished cell. It's has been over 6 months and everything is still good. You can test it with a voltmeter--anything under 7 volts is bad. I am sure there are other accurate ways to test it, but I don't have the tools or know how.
@@phillipchau1004 I have to replace couple cells from my 2010 battery, but I am just getting started. Any suggestions on information I can make use of? Where did you order individual cells
There is a lot of stigma about how dangerous it is. Once the safety plug is removed the danger is near zero. Thanks for asking. That is a common question :)
Except for perhaps having better illumination while filming, VERY WELL DONE.
Thank you for a great instructional. I did notice that the black spacer on the end cap was originally on the other end opposite the ECU.
Thanks for letting me know. I love the attention to detail.
you make it look easy , good explaination and detail , good enough I will do it if the time comes , thanks

No. 1 module starts at the driver side and works over to the passenger side

Watch your 2 videos. So there are no onboard (on the car) computers that would require and specialized tooling, to be reset?
Do you disconnect the 12V car battery prior to this process?
is there a specific torque value for the 4 bolts that compress the batteries?
Thanks 🙏
One thought: when using a power wrench to remove the bus bar nuts, make very sure it's set to unscrew before starting.
It's a drill gun, and it has a clutch.
Is this it for the batteries in a type 3? This can't be all the battery power for the whole car can it?
How can I find one to practice for u know any training place also where I. An get cells and what do I use to charge the cells
Can use modular from 2nd generation on 3rd generation?
Why did one of my cells blow up? This is the second time. It's near the middle of the pack. Gen 2 Prius.
Kindly make video about prius battery voltage test with load and balance ...

I have a question? Where is Vo5 battery? I know it's a pair, I have two replacements but need to know for sure the location? Thanks
Hi, Could you tell me what is the brand of the Cells Prismatic Batteries?
hi can u plz inform we have to count cell from right to left ? 6 block or pair mean 11 and 12 cell ?
The tools is 18V? where I can buy it?
what cemistry cells are in the 2010 prius?
NICKEL HYDRIDE
DId you just remove old battery cells and put in NEW ones ?
yep
Good explain 👍
Great great videos. subbed. How often do the battery need to be replaced?

How the volts should be on each cell?
7.2 to 8.2 depending on how much it is charged, temperature, and how recently it was used
Hey! What was the torque for the cells screws you're talking about...65 inch pound? Good job anyway! Thanks a lot!
Did you get answer about the torque?
65...but use your common sense, I just screw it by hand until it feels steady.I tried a dyno key, but it feels like to tide..
@@sarkar6494 No..nothing!
The answer is in the video, they were nuts, not screws
@@metrork1 Thanks! Fixed...
Hello your sel batterie hybrid?
I am about to do the flip and remove the battery from the case. Remove the fan? I went to watch videos. He Broke the top clip hole of the fan.
hi bro i have prius alpha 2013 hybird problem. tell me that from where i buy battery part
Just give us a call and we can get everything set up for you 714-609-5064
hello .This video will really helps me for maintenance. please write wich torque wrench did you use. Good job. Thank you
We use crafstman and they work great. Make sure to have the calibration checked frequently
I thanks I have problem with Nissan Altima híbrid I dont not find new cells where I can buy them
andres xochimitl just try on yahoo auction.i think you can find there.
Hi m8 can u tel me wiche modul nomber 1 start, i mean how do i no which one no 1 modul nd which one 14 modul , ecu side or other side no 1 !
Up to my knowledge far side of the fan and computer plugin block 1 and block 14 is just next to fan side thanks
That blower fan appeared to be VERY dirty.
It’s an easy fix but that doesn’t stop Toyota from charging $300+ to clean it.
Hi. What the différence enter 2009 ans 2010 please
I think torque is suppose to be 48 inch/lbs. I almost stripped them at 65 inch/pounds
Hi. Do you offer some kind of training and can you ship parts to Mauritius
I buy the old cell from hybrid battery
No hand gloves!!! Why?
There is a lot of stigma about how dangerous it is. Once the safety plug is removed the danger is near zero. Thanks for asking. That is a common question :)
