Generally the prius and insight batteries don't "go" they get out of balance (because the BMS is more of a BS and doesn't track each cell instead it has upper and lower limits), if you check each individual cell inside the module you will find that only a few are dead and the rest are charged,

recharging or replacing the dead cells will bring the entire string back to life in at least 75% the cases.
