One way to extend the battery life of your Toyota Prius is to avoid letting the battery fully discharge. Try to keep the charge between 40-80% to prevent excessive wear on the battery cells.

E

Another tip is to avoid using high-powered accessories, such as heated seats or electronic devices, while the car is in EV (electric vehicle) mode. These can drain the battery quickly and put unnecessary strain on it.

D

Regularly check the tire pressure and make sure they are properly inflated. Under-inflated tires can cause the battery to work harder, reducing its lifespan.

S

Avoid parking your car in extreme temperatures, whether it's extremely hot or cold. Both can have a negative impact on the battery's performance and longevity.

R

Consider investing in a battery maintenance device, such as a trickle charger, to keep the battery charged and healthy when not in use for an extended period of time.
