How Much Does It Cost to Replace a Toyota Hybrid Battery?

When owning a Toyota hybrid vehicle, one common concern is the cost of hybrid battery replacement. Whether you’re driving a Prius, Camry Hybrid, or Estima, the battery pack is the heart of your vehicle’s hybrid system.

So, how much does it cost to replace a Toyota hybrid battery?
Typically, the cost ranges between $1,500 to $4,500 AUD, depending on your vehicle model and the type of battery you choose—aftermarket, rebuilt, or OEM. At Hybrid Automotive Service, we offer affordable pricing tailored to your needs.

 

Why Do Toyota Hybrid Batteries Need Replacing?

Toyota hybrid batteries are designed to last, often well beyond 8–10 years or 150,000–200,000 km. However, over time, battery cells degrade due to repeated charging cycles, high temperatures, and usage conditions. When performance drops or warning lights appear (like “Check Hybrid System”), it may be time for a replacement.

Different Toyota models use different battery packs. For instance:

  • Toyota Prius (Gen 2–4) battery replacement usually costs $1,500–$3,000 AUD

  • Toyota Estima Hybrid may range from $2,500–$5,500 AUD
