When is the best time to service my Toyota Prius hybrid battery?

I've heard that hybrid battery maintenance can be expensive and I want to make sure I'm not wasting money by servicing it too early or too late. What is the recommended schedule for hybrid battery service on a Toyota Prius?

It is recommended to service your hybrid battery every 100,000 miles or every 8 years, whichever comes first. However, it's important to monitor the battery's performance and have it serviced if any issues arise.

Some experts suggest servicing the hybrid battery every 50,000 miles to prevent any potential problems and extend its lifespan. If you use your Prius frequently or in stop-and-go traffic, you may want to consider this option.

You can also keep an eye on your hybrid battery's charge and health using the display on your Prius dashboard. If you notice a decrease in performance or a warning light, it may be time to take your car in for service.
