I've noticed if you keep the battery about 60% on the Prius when you park it and when you start it up and do pulses at 2500 rpm instead of allowing the car to burn through the precious battery in the first 30 seconds the battery does a lot better. I'm at 170k on the oem 12v battery and HV battery. I did notice that when i gave the car to my dad for a week he really leaned on the battery pretty hard and mileage was down 10% for about two weeks and then it came back to normal.
