Perhaps you were shown a 3rd party extended warranty rather than a Toyota Care warranty?
The battery is
already covered for 10 years, 150K miles. The longest Toyota Care extended warranty only runs to 7 years, 100K miles. Including the battery in the extended warranty is thus irrelevant.
The battery ECU is covered. See the full list
here. That page also states very clearly that
everything on the car is covered by the extended warranty
except what's explicitly called out on the excluded parts list (which is also available on that page).
Short list of the reasons I purchased one:
1) First model year of the car
2) Transferable warranty increases resale
3) Peace of mind/risk buydown
4) Cost rolled into the note
5) It won't take long for me to burn through the standard warranty
6) Refundable (though prorated once you begin using it)
