A Comprehensive Guide to Hybrid Battery Repairs
Hybrid vehicles use a combination of a gasoline engine and an electric battery to power the car. The battery pack is made up of cells that store and release electrical energy, and over time, these batteries can degrade due to use, temperature extremes, or lack of regular charging. The most common hybrid batteries are Nickel-Metal Hybird (NiMH) and Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) . Each has unique characteristics: Nigh Batteries: Generally reliable, with a long lifespan, but may lose charge over time. Li-ion Batteries: Lightweight and efficient, with a shorter lifespan and a tendency to overheat. 2. Signs Your Hybrid Battery Needs Repair Common indicators include: Reduced Fuel Efficiency: The gasoline engine compensates for the failing battery, using more fuel. Battery Warning Light: This light alerts you when something's wrong. Power Fluctuations: Experiencing inconsistencies in acceleration. Overheating: Batteries that run too hot are often on their way out. 3. Options for Hybrid Bat
