Every outlet I've seen is showing a VERY low instance of battery replacements, and in California at least that includes our increasingly huge fleet of Prius taxis racking up hundreds of thousands of miles. I suppose your absolute worst case on a Prius is a $1200 Dorman replacement battery and $800 in labor. Statistically needing to spend $1800 after ten years of use is not worth fretting about.
Related, my friend the Ford mechanic says he can count on one hand the number of Escape Hybrid batteries he's replaced, and those are now ten years old as well. If Ford and Toyota both agree that battery replacements are happening well below estimates, I think it's safe to say it's not a problem.
