Average quote for hybrid car battery repairs

Hybrid cars use batteries that are different from those of traditional combustion engine vehicles. Sometimes, when they stop working correctly, they can be reconditioned rather than replaced. The first step is for a qualified technician to inspect the battery and determine whether it can be repaired and, if so, what work is required to restore it.

During reconditioning, bad cells in the battery pack are often removed, and new ones are put in. The battery pack may also be balanced, which involves breaking down the voltage depressions within the cells to restore the usable capacity and even out the voltage. After checking your battery, the technician should talk you through your options.

How long does a hybrid battery last?

Hybrid batteries are designed to last the lifespan of the car. You can typically expect to get between 100,000 and 200,000 miles out of them, but as with most car components, it depends on how well they are maintained and used.

What happens if a hybrid battery dies?

Your car may fail to start, and you may notice reduced performance and fuel efficiency. There will likely also be a warning light on the dashboard.

Is it worth it to recondition a hybrid battery?

Buying a new hybrid battery isn’t cheap, often costing thousands of pounds. Reconditioning or repairing your existing battery is likely to be the more affordable option. Whether it’s possible to do so depends on the extent of the damage or wear.
