"Prius battery pack will last 10 years": http://www.newsoxy.com/toyota-prius/battery-pack-will-last-10-years.html

A Prius battery pack could last as much as 400,000 miles with minimal maintenance issues, according to an independent study conducted by Toyota Motor Company.

The study also found a few cars in Victoria, B.C., that are still used as a taxi service. These vehicles have between 300,000 to 400,000 miles on them and are still using the same batteries installed since 2001. These findings are remarkable.
