Paid relationships (when links are live)
These programs exist in public. Tracking URLs are placeholders in src/config/site.ts until Chris Laib drops in approved codes. Until then, the site uses each company’s public URL and still calls the relationship paid, because that is the intent.
- Greentec Auto — publisher affiliate (Give $150 / Get $150 customer track) at greentecauto.com/affiliate-registration. Placeholder:
AFFILIATE_LINK_GREENTEC. - The Hybrid Geek — $100/sale program at thehybridgeek.com/hybrid-battery-affiliate-program. Placeholder:
AFFILIATE_LINK_HYBRIDGEEK. - Amazon Associates — the Veepeak OBDCheck BLE Dr. Prius documents, 12-volt auxiliary batteries, and cabin / battery fans only. Not Dorman HV packs. Placeholder tag:
AMAZON_ASSOCIATE_TAG.
If you buy through a live affiliate link, the site may earn a commission. You should pay the same price. That commission is why a Greentec or Hybrid Geek link is not a lab endorsement.
Editorial / unpaid
No public affiliate program we could find. Mentioned because the price, warranty, or coverage model is useful:
- Dr. Prius / Dr. Hybrid — diagnosis app. Most features free; tests are in-app purchases. No affiliate.
- Salty Hybrid / NexPower — DIY sodium blades. Often sold out.
- Green Bean Battery (LKQ) — come-to-you reman / new / sodium. Mixed PriusChat and BBB warranty reputation, sourced on the comparison page.
- Hybrid CPR — cheapest transparent recon list we found. Comparison column only.
- Toyota dealers — expensive baseline, not a partner. In-warranty work earns this site nothing except ads, if any.
Ads
There are no display ads on the site as shipped. If ads appear later, they will be labeled. An ad is not a review.
What “ranking” means here
Public list price, published warranty text, and whether the coverage model is DIY, mobile, or dealer. Not “best.” Not “we tested 17 batteries.” Chris Laib has not tested them.
