What Is a Hybrid Battery?
As you may know, a hybrid vehicle combines the functionality of a gas-powered motor and an electric hybrid battery. The battery is rechargeable and provides enough power to keep even a large vehicle running. Every major car maker, including Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan, offers hybrid vehicles in their lineups.
Hybrid vehicles offer the best of both worlds: the efficiency of an electric car and the range of a traditional gas-powered car. They provide impressive fuel economy due to the hybrid battery's contribution. By combining an electric engine with a gas-powered engine, these vehicles achieve optimal efficiency and reliability.
A hybrid vehicle utilizes a 12-volt lead-acid battery and gasoline, just like a traditional vehicle, while also drawing energy from an electric battery. The vehicle can switch seamlessly between power sources, often without the driver even noticing the transition. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the electric battery recharges. This makes hybrid vehicles 20%-35% more fuel-efficient than traditional vehicles.
A hybrid vehicle cannot run without a functioning battery. Most hybrid batteries last around eight years. If your hybrid battery seems to be wearing down, you can bring your vehicle to Suncoast Auto Repair Inc in Manatee County. We offer a range of services, including Electrical Diagnostics and Mechanical Diagnostics. Some signs that your hybrid battery might be failing include decreased fuel economy, fluctuations in the state of charge, and unusual engine noises.
What Is Hybrid Battery Reconditioning?
Hybrid battery reconditioning is a process designed to reverse the aging of the battery and restore its performance. The reconditioning process involves the following steps:
- The hybrid battery pack's overall state of health is assessed.
- The battery is disassembled, and its modules or cells are exercised on our equipment to restore their ability to store electrical energy.
- The modules' capabilities are tested, and their capacities are determined. They are then grouped with other modules of similar power and capacity.
- After a final charge and testing of the modules, the battery is rebuilt around the good cells.
- The remaining components of the hybrid battery are checked to ensure their best performance.
- The entire battery pack is placed back into the vehicle.
