Not sure where you got the 50~60k battery replacement, because it's simply not true
The state of charge of the battery in a prius is carefully kept between 45% and 75% in order to give the battery pack a long life. And by long I mean that the prius taxis used up in Vancouver with 200k+ miles on the clock still haven't failed a pack.
The only packs that have failed in service are those that have been damaged in accidents or those that have been tampered with by "tuners".
