Hybrid vehicles have become increasingly popular in recent years as people become more environmentally conscious. One of the main components of a hybrid vehicle is its battery, which powers the electric motor. However, after some time, the battery loses its capacity, and the vehicle’s performance begins to decrease. In such cases, reconditioned hybrid batteries can be a great solution to this problem. In this article, we will explain how hybrid batteries are reconditioned and restored to their original performance.
What Is Reconditioning Hybrid Batteries?
Reconditioning hybrid batteries is the process of restoring the battery’s performance to its original level by replacing all the cells. In the process, all the cells are removed from the battery pack and replaced with new ones. The equipment used to recondition hybrid batteries allows you to increase the capacity (mA/h) of each individual cell.
The Cells of Hybrid Batteries
Each cell in a hybrid battery has a specific voltage (Voltage), capacity (mA/h), resistance (Ohm), and Energy (Wh). In order for the battery to work efficiently, all cells must have the same voltage. If the voltage is not equal in all cells, the battery will not work properly.
The Importance of Capacity
The capacity of a hybrid battery determines the life and durability of the battery. If the capacity of the cells is not the same, the battery will work for as long as the lifetime of the weakest cell lasts. Therefore, the capacity of the cells must be the same, with a difference of no more than 1-2%.
Equipment Used in Reconditioning Hybrid Batteries
There are different types of equipment used in reconditioning hybrid batteries. The equipment that simply calculates the capacity of the cells is much cheaper than the equipment used to recondition hybrid batteries. A new hybrid battery has a capacity of 6500 mA/h, but a battery that needs reconditioning may have a capacity of only 2000 to 2800 mA/h.
We use professional equipment ito increase the capacity of the cells in the battery pack. The equipment is expensive but can increase the capacity of the cells to 4500-5300 mA/h, which is not above the factory values.
Reconditioning Process
The reconditioning process begins by removing all the cells from the battery pack. We replace old cells with new ones, and determine the capacity of each cell. Then we combine cells into batteries with the same capacity, and a difference of no more than 2%. This process ensures that there are no weak elements in the battery, and they work evenly, losing their new raised capacity evenly.
The Results
Reconditioning hybrid batteries can restore the battery’s performance to its original level. A new hybrid battery loses its capacity in about 10 years, but a reconditioned hybrid battery can last for an additional 6.25 years. This means that a reconditioned hybrid battery can help extend the life of your car, and save you money in the long run.
Conclusion
Reconditioning hybrid batteries can restore hybrid car battery performance. Replace all cells, increase capacity and ensure even performance. This saves money compared to buying a new battery. It’s an eco-friendly option that extends battery life and reduces waste. Not all batteries can be reconditioned, consult a professional technician. It’s a cost-effective and eco-friendly option to restore hybrid car battery performance. Consult a professional technician to determine viability.
Additionally, reconditioning your hybrid battery is also an environmentally friendly option. Instead of disposing of the old battery and contributing to electronic waste, reconditioning allows you to extend the life of the battery and reduce waste.
However, it is important to note that not all hybrid batteries can be reconditioned. Some batteries may be too damaged or have other issues that make reconditioning impossible. It is important to consult a professional technician who specializes in hybrid battery reconditioning to determine if this is a viable option for your specific vehicle.
In conclusion, reconditioning hybrid batteries can be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly option for restoring the performance of your hybrid car’s battery. It is important to consult with a professional technician to determine if reconditioning is a viable option for your specific vehicle.
