Compare Infiniti Fx hybrid car battery repair quotes from specialist garages

The FX, a luxury crossover introduced in 2002, is known for its bold design and suits drivers for whom luxury and style are priorities. Infiniti calls it "a sports car at heart", with top speeds ranging from 130 to 155 mph and a 0-60 time of five to seven seconds, depending on which engine configuration you choose.

The FX has connections to motorsport, having been used as an F1 safety car, and there is also an FX Sebastian Vettel Edition, named after the F1 champion. Common problems with the FX include worn and damaged wheel bearings (often indicated by a humming or grinding sound), a noisy timing chain and transmission issues.

Hybrid batteries typically last between 80,000 and 100,000 miles - a distance that can be extended through regular servicing and maintenance. Some are made using nickel-metal hydride, while others use lithium-ion - these are becoming more common because they are less toxic, perform better at high temperatures and are better at retaining charge.

Eventually, all batteries fail. The good news is that it's sometimes possible to repair your hybrid car battery rather than replace it. This is the best option if there are only a few faulty modules.

If your battery works but doesn't hold charge like it used to, and you'd like to restore its functionality, you could have it reconditioned, which is often cheaper than replacing it. However, you may have to book a battery replacement if several faulty modules are non-repairable. After inspecting your car's battery, a technician will advise you about the best course of action.
