I found both of these to be fair descriptions of what is going on:

"Diesel vs Hybrid - the Battlelines are Drawn"
http://www.autospeed.com/cms/A_109237/article.html
"Diesel or Hybrid or Petrol?"
Both are excellent, fair reviews of the issues.

Any site that shows Prius battery performance for the last 10 years...
they first came out in 97 right?

Go to the site, search for your keyword, few problems but I suspect that is
not what you want to hear.

All accounts are that hybrid batteries are holding up very well and
the companies don't expect to replace many under the 8 year warranty.
Toyota says it has not replaced a single battery pack due to wear and
tear or failure. That includes some Priuses with over 200,000 miles.
