Maybe! Revised and complete answer... The 270 volt traction battery won't die. The 12 volt battery won't 'die' in two weeks in normal storage with the headlight switch turned off. The headlight auto on option and the computers do take some power. In 3-4 weeks, the 12 volt battery CAN lose all power because the computers are always on (standby). Vacation times of over 4 weeks requires a trickle charge on the 12 volt battery to avoid full discharge. Somebody could also drive it 10-15 miles every three weeks to maintain charge. If the 12 volt battery DOES die because of storage, the 270 volt battery can recharge the 12 volt battery to a start the car condition with the key turned to (check engine) 'run' position for 4-5 minutes. The inverter will charge the battery enough to start the car. Remember you must "start three times to reset the system" if the 12 volt battery ever becomes discharged like this. -__-

Why does the battery in your car die when you park it?
Dead cell in the battery or something is on pulling power from the battery. Have the battery tested at any auto parts store.

How often does a Toyota Prius battery need to be replaced?
battery factory grant is 10 years. I think you can be happy within 10 years. Umm, not quite. Warrenty coverage and life are two different things. Your car doesnt die after the 3 year warrenty ends, neither does the Toyota Prius Batteries. The fact is no Prius batteries have been replaced due to them dying. Replacement has occured due to accidents and defective batteries however. The Prius battery is NOT one big battery it is a battery made up of 12 units, so if one should fail they would just replace that unit. You should expect the batteries to last over 15 years. Warrenty on the Batteries is 8 years or 100k except in California where I believe is is 10k years 150k.
How long will a hybrid car last before the battery must be replaced?
HybridsTo be really honest, it remains to be seen. Although the Prius and other hybrids have been out for a while, apparently not enough have been sold or traded in to get an accurate estimate. It is known that once a Prius exceeds the warranty, once the batteries do die, and eventually they will, they can cost as much as $4000 to replace! Estimates for a battery life are about three to five years. You may do slightly better if you never let the batteries deep cycle.*****It'a true that a Prius typically exceeds it's waranty period. Battery packs on the 04-09 model prius will go sometime after 175 000 km. I service and repair Prius's all day 5 days a week for a fleet of over 300.
If you park your car and don't drive will the battery die?
The battery will discharge if left for a long time as some current always drains to Earth. They can normally be recharged.
What is the life time for the Toyota Prius battery?
The main battery pack (behind the rear seat) should last for 12 - 15 years. The Prius battery pack is always charged above 70% of max and because of this lasts longer. The small ordinary battery that powers up the instruments should also last longer than in other vehicles. This should last over 7 to 8 years. The small battery only powers up the instruments, it is not used to turn over the engine. Actually the Prius battery can last 13+ years as it has already been proven (13 years in production, with relatively few problems). Japan was the first country to get the Prius, in 1998. According to Toyota the battery charge is kept constantly between a 45% charge and 75% charge. The charge indicator is 75% charge at max, and 45% charge at min. (which is never reached in practice). It likes to stay over 60% charge.With this approach the battery never over charges or under charges. Kind of like your cell phone, which is a lithium battery but same principal applies. We let our cell phones die then we plug them in before we go to bed. So the cell phone battery goes from no juice to being over charged, which over time kills the battery sooner. Cell phone companies tend not to talk too much about this as it adds added sales in batteries every 1-2 years.
