Prius replacement batteries are less than $3000, and they have an 8 year warranty on them. The battery packs used in all Prius models are expected to last the life of the car with very little to no degradation in power capability.

We noted back in September that Toyota had dropped the price of a new pack a few hundred dollars to $2,299 for model years 2001-2003 and $2,588 for model years 2004-2008. On the Toyota Open Road blog, editor Jon Thompson has written a post on the strength of the Prius batteries after all these years, with at least one example reaching over 400,000 miles of service

The new prices for the packs are $2,299 for the 2000-2003 model years and $2,588 for the 2004-2008 model years. This is down from a previous price of $2,985 for either model. Toyota said that "technology and volume related advancements" were responsible for the price decrease. ...Toyota is considering - "studying the business case for," as the release puts it - remanufacturing Prius batteries right here in North America as as way to make them even cheaper in the future. http://www.autobloggreen.com/2008/09...t-got-cheaper/

Not according to the sales person we spoke with 2 months ago. That is the figure he quoted us. Of course that did include labor and all the other BS charges the dealer puts on new car repairs.
