Model: Toyota Prius MK 3, Xw50 - Years 2016-2023
Part: Battery

Below we will discover the main instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the 12V battery of the Toyota Prius. First, we open the hood of the car to access the battery compartment; then we disconnect both terminals (positive and negative), unscrewing the battery bracket screw to remove it from its compartment, as shown in the video. At this point, we replace the battery with the new one, of the correct type and with the same amperage; we insert it in the correct direction and make the connection, then verifying the correct ignition of the engine!
