If you are that worried about the battery pack, perhaps you could call up the local Toyota dealer and see if they can do a diagnostic on the pack to make sure it is in good shape?

wow, I never would have thought hybrid batteries could last so long.

that is a great idea about taking it into the dealer for a test.
I'm going to give them a call and ask.

thx
