Hybrid Car Battery Replacement

Whether you’re driving a hybrid model or you’re curious about making the switch, many Matthews and Indian Trail customers have questions about the hybrid car battery replacement process. How much does a hybrid car battery replacements cost? When do you need to start thinking about your replacement? Hendrick Porsche has all the information you need to master hybrid maintenance.

How Often Should You Get a Hybrid Battery Replacement?

Before we talk about hybrid battery replacement costs, let’s talk about longevity. A typical car battery lasts a few years at most, but hybrid batteries are considerably longer lasting. Some drivers have reported their hybrid battery lasted as long as 15 years and going over 150,000 miles without issues. Most warranty plans cover your hybrid battery for nearly a decade of use, which means you’ll have miles and miles of adventures on the Pineville roads before scheduling that hybrid car battery replacement.

What’s the Average Hybrid Battery Replacement Cost?

Hybrid battery replacement costs can range anywhere from $2,000 to $8,000. But, keep in mind that hybrid vehicles tend to have very generous warranty coverage. Be sure to check your warranty before you start worrying about replacement costs. Additionally, good maintenance practices can go a long way toward extending the lifespan of your battery. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

• Batteries are sensitive to temperatures, so if you live in an extreme climate, expect to change your batteries faster than those in a milder climate.
• If anything is amiss with your batteries, your built-in warning system will typically trigger a dashboard light to let you know. Schedule your service if you notice anything out of the ordinary.
• Just because your car indicates a hybrid system malfunction, it doesn’t mean your battery is in trouble. That’s why it’s so important to get a good diagnosis from a capable service center.
