How reliable are reconditioned hybrid battery packs for a Prius (2007)?

They have warranties with them, I’d judge it by the length of warranty and the reputation of the rebuilder (Yelp, Google, etc.). Reconditioning a battery pack is fairly straightforward, I would have no concern using a well-done one.

it depends on who is supplying the pack and if all battery cells are replaced or only some.

with as little information as you gave us, the only answer is “it depends”

Thanks a lot. I am going to go with Greentec Auto. They have gotten good reviews on Yelp etc and offer 12, 24 and 48-month warranties.

An I wouldn’t be surprised if this is spam. Just another way spammers try to get their spam out.
