ACDelco Silver Automotive Battery B24RAGM | PN 88866186

Battery arrived promptly heavy and double-packed. Perfect fit for the well inside my 2013 Prius V. Arrived fully charged, but if yours is not be sure to fully charge it before installation.My old battery went completely dead after about 2 weeks of non-driving. Can't complain about 6 year battery life. No problem, I'll charge it like any 12V car battery. Even though the 12V battery is buried in the rear of the car, Toyota has helpfully provided an access point for the positive electrode under the hood. Make sure your charger can handle "AGM" type batteries. Most new "smart" chargers do. My 12V charger tried but gave up after about 5 minutes, even though I tried it about four times. Classic chicken-and-egg problem. To replace the 12 volt battery you need to open the rear hatch, but the hatch latch requires the 12 volt power you do not have. No problem, check YouTube for how to mechanically open a rear Prius hatch. Plenty of advice about the little silver lever you access by taking the rear deck apart, but my V has no such lever. I spent about an hour futzing around with flashlight, magnifier and two broken fingernails but could never find any type of mechanical release inside the tiny opening revealed by removing a pop-off plastic cover. In desperation I tried charging a few more times (some deeply discharged batteries require this) and finally there was just enough juice to operate the rear latch.A 10 mm socket wrench is all you need to remove a top bracket and the two electrode clamps. The positive clamp has a swing-away red plastic cover, revealing a second 10 mm nut. You do not need to remove this one, only the one holding the clamp onto the positive electrode. The positive electrode is a very tight fit, requiring a flat blade screwdriver to slightly coax the jaws apart after loosening the nut. Four nuts total. Be sure to unplug (and reconnect ) the little rubber hose (vent?) on the short edge of the battery facing the front of the car.Be warned that a Prius 12V battery naturally and slowly discharges even when the car is parked because on-board electronics such as remote locks require power all the time. It's advised to drive the car after extended rest periods to recharge the 12V battery. To avoid the chicken/egg nightmare I encountered I plan to replace it every 4-5 years or so, before it gives up.If someone can shed light on the mechanical rear latch release please let us know.

Took all of 17 min. to replace and have the car up and running. Couldn't believe the price compared to shops and Toyota dealerships. All you need is a 10mm box end and a 10mm socket. Watch one of the many videos on YouTube showing the process -- and then go to it.BTW, if your current battery is totally dead, you may not be able to unlock the hatch. There is a safety release lever that you can crawl to (once again, see YouTube), or, if you're able to wait until the new battery arrives, just take some jumper cables and hook up the new battery to the proper contacts, wait a minute or so, and then open it up (making sure you have the remote close by). Clear out your hatch and you're ready to get started.I live in SoCal and this took only a day and a half to arrive. Looks like it came out of Riverside. Not only was this a great price ($148 at the time, but just noticed it jumped to $160...still a big savings), but there was no core charge. Now I just have to find a place that will buy the old one...and save even more!Like my Pappy used to say, 'that's slicker than a pair of eels makin' love in a bucket o' snot!'

Very fast shipping. Perfect fit in my 07 Prius w/ smart key. The product dimensions listed are wrong, they are for the carton that GM shipped the battery to Amazon in. The shipping label is still on the carton along with all the appropriate warning stickers about which way should be up. Very well padded as mentioned in other posts. The actual battery is 5"W x 9.25"L x 8" H not including the posts. Same W and L as the 4yo Parts Plus AGM that it replaced. 1/4 " taller tho, but the hold down bracket fit it perfectly. The PP battery may have been shorter than the OEM it replace but I don't remember. The OEM lasted 7 years btw,Some one at Amazon should have a talk with the maroon who thought the dimensions of the shipping carton would be helpful to anyone. They also need to have a chat with the packer who, in spite of ACDelco's labels as to which way is up, laid it down in a big smiley box with a single sheet of brown paper over it (for what purpose I don't know). Yes, I do know it is a sealed battery, but maybe ACDelco knows something we don't. In any event, it is not a decision an Amazon packer should be making.A 10 and 12 mm wrench with extension, a screw driver and a half hour is all you need to put it in. The you tube videos are helpful, takes longer to get the old one out then to put the new one in. The vent tube elbow fits well when inserted correctly, Look it over before you put the battery in place. Un-screwing the ground cable from the body is easier than fighting with the battery clamp. It's the first thing you should do when removing and the last thing when installing.

Looks good fit perfect in 2007 Prius but didn’t last long 3years 5 month .Toyota battery,interstate battery last much longer in my experience

Excellent battery for the first week now.I was having increasingly intermittent problems trying to start my 2015 Prius IV for the last year and a half. Thought it might be the remote keys: no. Toyota dealer was not able to find the problem. Was worried it might be an expensive electronics problem: no! Simply installed this battery (it was simple and quick). Not sure why the original battery and this battery have a vapor port and Toyota tube that attaches to it since this battery at least is supposed to be totally sealed.Anyway, on my first start a week ago my Prius had the same problem of not starting (low initial battery charge?) but ever since then it has started every time (about 50 times) perfectly. The problem appears to have stopped now. Yeahhhh!Update February 16, 2020: Perfect startups for 3 months now (other than the first one after I installed it; just needed charging up by the car). Very happy to have completely solved my startup problems. And at a great price.

I bought this battery for my 2012 Prius which wouldn't start. Installation was easy, and it was a perfect fit. I patted myself on the back and thought my troubles were over. Within 30 days, the car again refused to start, and the battery would not hold a charge. The battery has a 24 month free replacement warranty, but good luck if you need to use it. Calling the AC Delco support number was wasted time, as they said only Amazon could make warranty adjustments. Amazon's website would say the item couldn't be returned and referred me back to AC Delco. It took two tries over several days on Live Chat, but I did get Amazon to agree to refund the cost. Zero stars for the battery, two stars for Amazon. It shouldn't have been that hard to get a refund, and the confusion over who was responsible for issuing the refund made the whole experience irritating. Put a crowbar in your wallet and buy one from the dealer.

I Purchased the Exterminator battery Dec. 2017 and last winter pretty much killed it. I don't drive my Prius as often as it needs to be driven to keep the 12v battery charged in cold weather. Nor did I have a maintainer on it. Expensive mistake! I had to keep a maintainer on it all winter, summer and fall to make sure it had some power and it finally died Monday.I ordered this battery yesterday and installed it today myself. What a PIA! Shame on Toyota for making changing a battery ridiculously difficult and time consuming! A five minute job that takes hours. Thank you to the YouTube people who are kind enough to show us how to change it ourselves.This battery fit perfectly. My car started immediately, so I drove it around town for about 30 minutes and came home and connected my 3A Schumacher maintainer to it. It was 87% charged and took 1 hour to charge to 99% and 4.5 hours to get to 100% charged. It's now maintaining.... and will continue to maintain all winter. Never again will I not have a battery maintainer on my 12v battery in Illinois winters. This is the third battery I've had to buy and they're not cheap.Anyway, don't hesitate on this battery if you have a 2006 Prius! And set aside an entire freakin day to change it out if you do it yourself.

First of all I got several comments from friends and my wife about how this looked like a toy battery or a Lego battery, my wife said it was cute lol. It fit perfectly and there were no issues with installation at all, after watching a video about how to do it I had it done in about 10 minutes. I took a little extra time to clean out the trunk too while I was at it. The vent hole is in the right spot and the terminals were the right size and the fit was snug and perfect. The car fired right up and runs smooth as silk now, MUCH more power when the engine kicks in versus how it was before. The old battery wasn't bad btw but it had gone 7 years and 150K miles so I figured it was time to swap it out just to be safe! Great buy and a great battery, thanks!

battery was just was i needed for my 2016 prius after about 6-8 months still going strong. great price aswell

dose not have enough cold cranking amps for my ford f350 diesel truck
