What makes hybrid car battery repair a great challenge ?

Hybrid car batteries are made up of numerous cells.. Approximately the most common batteries used in hybrid cars have numerous packs of about  120 to 240 individual cells.

So it is difficult for hybrid car specialists to identify whether the problem is with a single cell or numerous cells have gone bad. This makes hybrid car battery repair a great challenge.

Is it better to repair or replace the hybrid car battery?

The average lifetime of the new battery used in hybrid cars is about 7 years. The decision to repair or replace them depends on the condition of the battery at that stage. You can make a decision after getting your battery health completely inspected by your service advisors.

There are three ways,

  • If your battery is less than 7 years old and only a few cells of the packs have failed it's better to replace the bad cells.
  • If your battery has lasted long and numerous cells in many packs have been damaged then you can prefer hybrid battery rejuvenation or reconditioning.
  • At the final stage when there are no other options you can prefer for new battery replacement. But this is quite expensive.

What is meant by battery reconditioning?

It slows down the ageing process of your battery and increases the performance with two steps,

  • Charging/balancing the battery pack 
  • Discharging the battery pack 

This step will increase the lifespan of your battery to a considerable extent.
