I cannot find a replacement starting battery for my 2016 Prius 2. The only option is buying one from Toyota for an exorbitant price. Does anybody out there know of a standard group number battery that will fit?

It is somewhat unusual to need a 12 V battery after only 2 years.
And it is not a "starting battery" in the conventional sense. It really just boots up a lot of computers and runs the accessories.

What makes you think you need a new one ??
If you got the car in late '16 or early '17, the battery might still be under warranty.

Exactly where have you checked for a replacement ?

If you haven't tried the major chain auto parts stores, please do that.

Please answer the other 2 questions:

Why do you think you need a new one after only 2 years ?

Is the car still under the original 2 year warranty ??

Do you have a Pep Boys store in your area ? They seem to be a good source of Prius batteries.

Regardless of where you get one, it WILL be more expensive than you think.
