You may already be familiar with the lifespan of a car battery, but a hybrid battery is a little different. A hybrid battery will save you thousands of rupees in fuel each year. As per most hybrid car
manufacturers, a hybrid battery lasts 80,000 to 1, 00,000 miles. However, with good maintenance and basic self-repair, some batteries can last up to 1, 50,000 or 20, 00,000 miles, typically driving the
car for 5 to 15 years.
What affects the Life of the Hybrid Battery?
The lifespan of a battery depends directly on the quality of the driving of the car. If the car is commuted in a shorter amount of time, the battery will drain faster. However, if the battery is cycled
several times a day while driving, the battery will last much longer.
• Age of the Hybrid Battery: Commuting long trips daily will require a battery replacement faster than not doing so.
• Mileage: The miles accumulated on the battery determine the battery life as much as its age.
Role of Cells in Balancing the Battery
Hybrid batteries fail for various reasons. They can often stop working because individual cells are not in balance with other cells.However, the breakdown does not always occur uniformly. If you have
unbalanced cells, the hybrid battery will fail faster than the battery with balanced cells.
Tips to Prolong the Life of the Hybrid Battery
While a battery lasts around eight years on average, some batteries last as long as and beyond ten years. It all depends on how you treat your battery, the more you care for the battery, the more the
lifespan of the battery is.
Maintaining a Schedule
A hybrid battery does not require any special maintenance. Simply, set the same maintenance schedule for the hybrid battery that you would set for a regular battery. Do not neglect regular maintenance as
it will cost you an exorbitant amount of money. Therefore, if your car and battery reach more than eight years of life, or have commuted more than 80,000 miles, then you should diagnose your car battery.
Take your car for a regular battery checkup every 12 months.
Keep the Battery in Cooling State
There will be an auxiliary battery system in your hybrid that keeps the battery cool. Make sure to clean the auxiliary fan regularly to lengthen the battery life, as a warm battery has a shorter lifespan
than a cool one.
Battery Check
Regular maintenance of a vehicle will allow the petrol engine to run smoothly with less strain on the electric battery. Moreover, the hybrid battery should be checked regularly to ensure the good health
of the battery.
