IIRC the Prius batteries can be purchased new for <$2500 and have a staggering lifespan (in the Prius at least).

The lifespan has more to do with battery management not the battery itself, that said if you wanted to break apart the models to the cell level then resolder them into an Insight One pack BMS system you could likely get them to work electronically, although fit and finish would probably suck.
