I have a Gen1, year 2000 Insight with an original battery. Capacity is about half, but then again, I do "normal" Insight related battery maintenance to keep it healthy too. Not sure if the same thing applies to a Prius, but would not be surprised if it did.

In that regard, a Prius might be more of a "techy" car similar to the Insight.
