In this video, you can see where the battery is located in the Toyota Prius and how to proceed if you need to replace it, a very simple and quick operation. As shown, the battery is not located in the usual engine compartment but inside the boot, in the lower right area.

To access it and then remove it, ensure that the key is not inserted, then open the tailgate and remove the bottom panel. Next, unscrew both the bolt and the nut of the mounting bracket with a 10mm spanner, disconnect the terminals starting with the negative, and remove the battery from its housing.
