Hybrid battery health check: 1) Scan for battery codes with hybrid-capable scanner. 2) Toyota Prius: check individual battery block voltages with Techstream or third-party scan — one weak block drags down whole pack. 3) Monitor state of charge during driving — pack should charge and discharge smoothly. 4) Dramatic fuel economy drop is first sign of battery degradation. Options: a) Dealer diagnosis. b) Hybrid battery specialists (often cheaper). c) Individual cell/module testing. d) Reconditioning service (balance cells). Prevention: avoid full charge cycles, mix city and highway driving to keep battery active.
