Battery

I want to change the small battery in my 2008 Prius, but the dealer wants $232 to do this. That's a little pricey. The battery costs $125. Can I change it myself, and are there any caveats that I need to look out for, if I do?

You can die messing with the electrical system in that car. That's the price you pay to own a Hybrid. Let the professionals do it.
