11. Try the Hybrid Geek. Battery replacement

I used them on my 2006 Prius. Mechanic wanted $3500 / dealer $4200 , but hybrid geek will come to you and do the swap in your driveway. Lifetime Warranty included for $1550. I did this 3 years ago and still functioning just fine. Hope this helps.

Eta: they are in my area, NC. But there are similar services around the country.
