What is a hybrid battery?

They’re typically high-voltage and store electrical energy, which is used to keep your car running or assist the petrol engine in certain conditions.

FAQs

How long do hybrid car batteries last?

The average hybrid car battery life is 8 to 15 years, depending what type of hybrid battery you have. Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries last around 8 to 10 years, while lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries typically last 8 to 10 years. Like a normal car battery, driving your car regularly, avoiding extreme temperatures and regular maintenance can all help prolong the life of your hybrid car battery.

Is it worth replacing a hybrid battery?

Yes, if your hybrid car is in otherwise good working order, replacing its battery generally makes good economic sense. If you’ve done a lot of kilometres though, or you know it needs a few more repairs, you’ll need to weigh up these costs against the price of a hybrid battery replacement.

Do hybrid cars need battery replacement?

Hybrid cars will typically need a battery replacement every 160,000km or 8 years, whichever comes first. However, this depends on your vehicle, manufacturer and battery. Your local mycar mechanic can help you work out if it’s a good time to replace your hybrid battery.
