It’s hard to predict when your hybrid battery will start to lose its ability to hold a charge, but some signs can help you figure out if it’s time to replace the hybrid battery or take it in for repairs. If you keep an eye out for these warning signs and respond appropriately, you can keep your battery going longer than you would with typical car batteries and save yourself some money while doing so!
Why do hybrid batteries die?
Hybrids are typically made up of two different types of batteries: a nickel-metal hydride battery (NiMH) to provide power when the car is running, and a lead acid battery (lead-acid) to provide power while the car is not running or while charging. Hybrid batteries typically die due to age, overcharging, undercharging, too much heat or cold, or just not using them enough. Luckily some warning signs will let you know if your hybrid battery is on its last legs.
What are your options when your battery dies?
If you have a hybrid battery past its warranty period, it might be time for a new one. But before you go out and buy a new battery, there are some things you should know first. Firstly, it is essential to know the symptoms of a dying battery so you don’t waste your money. Secondly, it’s essential to understand what your options are when considering hybrid battery replacement or repair. If you’re not sure whether you need a battery replacement or just a battery repair, consider this:
-Battery replacement involves removing the old battery and installing a new one. You’ll want to do this if your hybrid batteries’ dead cells are irreparable or if any of the connections between cells have been lost.
-Battery repair can be done with jumper cables by connecting them from an external power source (such as a car) to your vehicle to maintain charge until service can take place. There may also be other parts that can be replaced to help make up for the lost amount while the car is being repaired, such as the alternator belt; however, these may not work in every case.
Should you repair or replace your hybrid battery?
If you have a hybrid battery that is nearing the end of its life, you will be wondering that it would be more cost-effective to repair or replace it. There are a few factors that will affect the answer. The first is your car’s age. If your car is older than 10 years, it may not be cost-effective to repair because the replacement battery will last longer and provide better performance. The second factor is the warranty on your hybrid battery. We offer a 12-month or 24-month warranty for our batteries and will replace them for free if they fail in this period.
