2007 prius... how long does a new hybrid battery last?

[Kluch]

Very likely going to be purchasing a 2007 prius from the 2nd owner. It's got about 171,000 miles on it but the hybrid battery was replaced about 12k ago. I'm assuming a new battery means it'll last a good while? As in, another 100k miles?

if it is an absolutely NEW Toyota battery installed by Toyota techs, then yes.
if it is something else other than that, no.

^^^This. Make absolute certain that it is a Toyota installed battery.

I just spoke again to the owner this morning and he said the battery was installed by toyotas battery center and has a warranty on it.
