Hi,
I have a Toyota Axio 2014 car.
Current mileage is around 126200.
Yesterday, while I was driving the car; check engine and several other lights showed up on the dashboard.
It was the first time I experienced this.
Then I took the car to closest place and did a scan.
Im putting images of the scan report.

As a temporary solution, they reset the system and all errors disappeared. But they recommended to do a hybrid battery service and replace affected battery cells.
Today, I took the car to Hybrid Hub branch at Colombo.
I showed them the scan report I got yesterday and they said only solution for this problem is to replace the whole battery (either reconditioned or brand new)
They quoted Rs. 390000 for brand new battery with 1 year warranty.
With everything thats going on; Im in a tight situation with money.
On the other hand; I have no plans to sell the car anytime soon because I can't afford to buy something else.
As far as I understand, I believe I have these 3 options:
01. Replace only affected battery cells and take my chances and see how long it will last.
02. Replace whole battery with a reconditioned one
03. Replace whole battery with brand new one.
What advises you guys can give me?
Any places you can recommend?
Thanks
