What is the difference between a 1-year warranty and a 2-year warranty?

The difference between battery warranties lies in the varying capacity of each cell (measured in Ah). It is unknown how other companies operate, but at HybridBatteryService.com, the longer the warranty period, the higher the capacity of each cell. This means a longer lifespan for the hybrid battery, higher vehicle power, and lower fuel consumption.

What was done during the repair?

All cells inside the hybrid battery were replaced with remanufactured ones. Additionally, the bars between the cells were replaced with brand new ones.

How is the testing of your hybrid batteries conducted?

After a complete battery restoration cycle, before selling, we install the batteries in test vehicles and drive them for a while under heavy loads, such as sudden braking and rapid acceleration. If the performance remains within the normal range, we proceed with shipping the battery.

What is core?

A core is your old, non-working hybrid battery.

How does the process of hybrid battery delivery and core return work?

You receive our refurbished hybrid battery in a special box directly at the address specified in your order. You need to place your old battery in this same special box and take it to the nearest UPS store. The seller provides you with a prepaid shipping label for returning the old hybrid battery.

Environmental Aspects

The hybrid battery repair process is entirely eco-friendly, as it is a closed-type, non-spillable battery that does not emit any odors or harmful substances. Additionally, it is approved by the manufacturer for air transport, which attests to its complete environmental safety and safety in handling. Additionally, restoring these batteries gives them a second life, eliminating the need for waste disposal and thereby improving the environment.

How is Hybrid Battery Service different from many other companies that repair hybrid batteries?

The key to repairing and remanufactured a hybrid battery is assembling all the cells inside the battery with identical values, specifically capacity (Ah), energy (Wh), and resistance Rs (Ohm).

How much does a hybrid battery cost for a Toyota Prius?

The cost of a brand new hybrid battery on a Toyota Prius starts at $3,500 without installation. A professionally reconditioned one starts at $1,095.

Lifespan

Hybrid batteries typically last 100,000–200,000 miles, but their lifespan depends on several factors, including the type of battery, driving conditions, and maintenance. For example, NiMH batteries typically last 8–10 years, while Li-Ion batteries can last up to 12 years. Stop-and-go traffic, frequent short trips, and extreme temperatures can all shorten the lifespan of a hybrid battery.

Maintenance

To extend the lifespan of your hybrid battery, you can try to drive the car regularly and avoid extreme temperatures. When a hybrid car sits idle, its battery slowly loses charge through a process known as self-discharge, and this phenomenon can be accelerated by extreme temperatures.
