is is acceptable to use a non-Toyota battery in a Prius?

Asked by rco25 Nov 09, 2020 at 12:58 PM about the 2016 Toyota Prius Four FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I had to replace my Prius 2016 batter which was dead.  AAA replaced it with a
non-Toyota brand battery.  Toyota now tells me that they only recommend using
a Toyota-branded battery.  Is it acceptable to use a non-Toyota batter in the
car?

No problem! Toyota would prefer you buy an overpriced battery from them.

I've used a lawn mower battery in a corolla years ago, ran just fine and lasted a couple years before it threw a rod

My original battery ran for over a 100,000 miles in my 2019 prius when it died I called dealership and they didnt have a battery in stock so I got one from a battery store. Is this okay The dealership is now saying the battery I bought not from them is dying and its only been a few months. Not sure what to do I dont have 250.00 $ to buy a dealership battery.
