Great replacement battery for Prius September 6, 2008
SparkyAZ (Mesa, AZ)
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
I installed this battery in my 2005 Toyota Prius with the help of the adapter kit from E-learnaid after my OEM battery died. Aside from costing $75 less than the dealer battery it has a higher capacity and can handle the occasional deep discharge when I 'forget' to turn off one of the interior lights.
The battery was well packaged in a heavy cardboard box and arrived within a few days of my order. It took about 1 hour to replace as there are several components in the way that had to be removed. I would recommend this battery to anyone who needs to replace their stock Prius battery.

used it to replace the battery in my 2001 toyota prius, works great and has much greater cap. than the stock battery did.
Required different adapters for the battery terminals hard to find.

There comes a time when you notice that turning the ignition key no longer launches the starter eagerly into action, but instead it reacts like asking your spouse to take out the garbage; it gets done but not without a flash of pained grimaces and a lethargic shuffle with shoulders stooped and an air of martyrdom. There's still some juice left in there but you know its past it's bloom of youth. If you don't want to find yourself pleading with passers-by with your jumper cables in hand one cold morning or waiting for the triple-A guy to show up hours later to help you get mobile again, you know it's time to replace your battery. Optima batteries have a reputation as the Clidesdales of the battery world, used in applications where reliability and extra power are needed; i.e., a car with lots of amplifiers in the sound system or extra fog lights or a power winch. (as in SUV or Jeep) Something to do with using 100% copper in the plates which are wound concentrically instead of laid out in a sandwich-like grid, which increases the surface area of exposed copper. (Thus the round cylinders visible in their body.) My car has a tight, high compression sports car engine and living in a hot climate means the air conditioner is engaged also all the time putting more strain for the battery to pull at start-up. When I push the start button now, my car literally snaps into action in a millisecond, there's so much extra power reserve. The dimensions are also smaller than the OEM battery so there's extra room in the engine bay for cooling air flow under there. From all I've read and my own experience, I highly recommend this to replace your OEM battery. As for your spouse, you'll just have to work things out or produce less garbage.

This review isn't so much about the battery but more about the ease of ordering, the price and the quickness in delivery. I found my Honda S2000 with a failing factory battery. I decided to go with the optima if I could find it at a good price. Locally the prices were all higher than ordering from Amazon.com. It also qualified for free shipping and no tax to deal with. All in all a good deal to have a car battery delivered to my door.Optima Batteries 8071-167 D51 YellowTop Dual Purpose Battery
Perfect fit for my 05 Prius February 22, 2010
Ronald W. Bartholomew (Los Angeles)
The order arrived very quickly and the fit was perfect for my 05 Prius. My original battery was still working, but it was 5 years old and I didn't want it go out on me. I researched the best replacement battery and found this one. These batteries are ideal for cars equipped with the smartkey feature. Replacement was reasonable with a few metric hand tools. I had to order a battery cable kit($15.00) to refit the Optima battery, the post on the factory are much smaller. I was very satisfied with the order and delivery process.
