How do you open your back doors? Or is the idea to just cancel the back seat?

It's not a cell, it's a battery containing 6-1.2 volt NiMH cells totaling 7.2 volts DC nominal.

I say throw away the 8mm bolts that go up thru the bottom. That way if a cell needs to be replaced, you don't have to pull the entire battery out and flip it over. What say y'all?

Doing this in bare feet makes you look like a bit of an amateur

Thank you so much for this video, it was easy to understand and helped me learn how these things work, also saved my butt! Amazing video!

good information will buy you some time , they will all slowly start to go if all the same age cell

very well explain easy to follow

How do you know when and which block is bad?

I give you mad props my dude. I like the results, and I believe your process works. But the ratio of 4-6 layers of bondo and primer to 1 layer of fiberglass, should be reversed. But you've given the the motivation, and inspiration to try this myself. Thanks.

Hahah😅I want more diy from this guy

Hi I work for Toyota do you reckon you could take the badges off would look heaps better

It’s looking factory

I can just hear your mum, (mum). Your going to what in my driveway?

Can honestly say looks terrible around the wheels

I'm working on this now. This video leaves out waaaay too much. My recommendation to everyone, don't use this as your only reference or you will be highly frustrated. One important piece is that the entire battery casing needs to be removed from the car and elevated to get to the 8mm bolts on the bottom. And it's at least 100 pounds. I recommend having a workbench and a helper. Also, have little sandwich bags and labels ready for the many bolts to keep track of.

What are you using to test the battery? A purchase link would be amazing 🙂

good video and info

Pls can you let me know how did you detect which battery is not good, and what kind of volt reader do i need?

I thought all cells needed to be discharged to zero to even out at full charge? Or does the battery management module do that?

Where did u purchase the cell

Did dr Prius app tell you which blocks were bad?

Mad man you did not even clean the copper contacts……that could be causing electrical resistance

NOT a cell. It's a MODULE. Each module contains 6 cells.

If you got cellos going out it’s time to replace the whole battery. Who has time to tear into this thing and order parts everytime one cell goes bad. Just replace the whole thing and forget about it for a long time.

Hi I have a auris 2016 I have removed the battery and checked all the cell voltages they all show between 7.91-8.02 how would I know which cell is bad without a code scanner ? Any help would be appreciated

Hi there ...bro i replaced the battery cells and every cell is above 5000 mah now ....but when i drive it still shows a code ...what should i do ...i am a bit confused ....can you pls help

Tried this myself. Was an insane experience considering I’ve never done a job that intricate before. After replacing the bad cell. My car won’t start. It’ll just turn on but engine won’t go. I’m assuming I might’ve done something wrong? Or do I have to jump the Prius in order to get the juice flowing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

awesome widebody fenders

Just start with the tape much cleaner less work and cheaper

How do you make the other side of the car match exactly though

Very beautiful ❤

Throw some tesla turbine wheels on that thing and 🫡

Can you save money by replacing all the modules instead of buying a new battery?

So you just have to drive the car and the cells will automatically calibrate?

Tnx for sharing. What model/ year your are working on this Video ??

God bro your a savior! Thank you

How did you figure out what cells were bad without testing all?

What scanner do you use to tell you which cells are bad?

At around 11 minutes the monitor shows its a 2004 prius

wide body on this prius 😁😁😁

Looks good but I just notice the rear doors are not functional I would love to see a tutorial for making those cuts

Is there a way to level out the battery before fully assembling on hybrid gen 2 way I replace 10 of 28 how do I get it to not throw codes and what kind of reader should I use

Don’t you hate when one sides always perfectly done and the other has small blemishes

This part 2 series got my sub lol pretty cool

Do you replace the cell pack just in Front only or do you go linear and replace the pack in front and in back?

Nice video! Could u do video or know where I could find video to install a shield for Gen 4 Prius 2018)? Thx!

Assuming this is the same process as an ‘02 model (the gens are dif, but the battery stuff looks like it’s the same?)

Why would you drill holes in the body. It looks so rigged with screws. Why dont you use panel bond. Its faster. Easier and looks better. No blunt edges showing.

You are my hero. I own a Prius and she don't look like much, but it still runs well, even with a spent battery.

Some laugh and mock those who actually DO things. Many times learning things like this leads to bigger and better things. You may be building custom stuff for 6 and 7 figure cars one day or even designing entire vehicles - all because you played with some foam and fiberglass and spray can primer in your driveway. Good stuff.
