Where is the battery of the Toyota Prius located?

Model: Toyota Prius MK 1 - Years 2004-2009
Part: Battery

Unlike many Toyota vehicles, the battery of the 2008 Toyota Prius is located inside the trunk. To view the battery or replace it, we need to turn off the vehicle and open the trunk. We remove the cover of the compartment to access the battery. In case of replacement, the operation to be performed is very simple and quick; just unscrew the nut on the bracket and disconnect the negative and positive connectors. To insert a new battery, simply reverse the procedure. It is also necessary to disconnect the battery during airbag disassembly operations.
