HYBRID BATTERY (IF YOURS IS NOT WORKING CALL THE JUNK CAR BUYER AUSTIN AT 512-789-2177 TOYOTA PRIUS NISSAN LEAF ALL HYBRID HONDA A hybrid car battery is like any other battery except that
it is rechargeable and has enough juice to move a large heavy vehicle down the
road for a few feet or a few miles. The batteries in hybrid cars are
responsible for the better fuel economy but the chemical material that makes up
all car batteries, whether it's a conventional car or a hybrid, is typically
toxic. Is hybrid battery expensive? In sort yes it can range from 1,000 up to 6,000 for
a full hybrid battery replacement. Hybrids batteries have proven to be
extremely reliable though. Most hybrid car batteries are designed to last the lifetime of
the automobile. There are three major types of batteries that are considering for use in hybrid
cars: lead-acid, nickel-metal hydride and lithium-ion By far, lead-acid is
considered the most toxic of the three, and on top of that it's also extremely
heavy. By undertaxing their batteries, hybrids
ensure longer life spans. Hybrids
come with software that purposely stops the battery from charging once it hits
about 80 percent of full capacity. Similarly, the battery will say it's empty
when it falls to about 20 percent. If hybrids do conk out early, most batteries
come with an eight-year or 100,000-mile warranty. You'll notice two things when it's time for a new power
pack: The engine will run almost constantly, even under light acceleration, and
your fuel economy will drop off significantly. There are other ways to increase hybrid battery life: Coasting
to a stop; like braking, coasting generates the kinetic energy
that will charge your battery and extend its life, avoiding
jack rabbit starts. Stopping at an intersection usually shuts
down a hybrid's gas engine. As you move away from the intersection, a light
press on the accelerator will keep the vehicle in all-electric mode. Replacing
a hybrid car battery is a job that is best left to a professional. |
