What is battery reconditioning?

Battery reconditioning is a maintenance process used to increase the usable battery pack capacity and extends its service life. Battery reconditioning is not a one-time event. If performed once and never repeated, the benefits of battery reconditioning will be short lived. Proper battery reconditioning as a recurring maintenance process can significantly extend the service life of the hybrid battery pack.
The battery reconditioning process is performed by first charging & balancing the battery pack with our Battery Charger.

Battery reconditioning and preventative maintenance balancing is not a onetime event! People who think reconditioning is not a good idea have usually only experienced it as a one time event, not an ongoing maintenance/service of the hybrid battery. A one-time battery reconditioning will typically last 8-15 months and not deliver lasting results. Avoid service centers that claim to restore aged batteries with a one-time battery reconditioning service!

There are three major phases of hybrid battery lifespan. Usable capacity and performance decreasing as the battery ages:

Typically begins: Typically ends:
Phase 1: Healthy hybrid battery New Vehicle 3-6 years

Phase 2: Weakened/weakening hybrid battery 3-6 years

Phase 3: “Failed” hybrid battery (DTC code present) 5-11 years

The speed of this deterioration is determined by a variety of factors, including vehicle make/model, climate, driving habits, variation in battery cell construction, and more.
This battery deterioration means that the individual cells within the battery pack can have a different charge level and capacity – they are no longer ‘in sync’ with each other. Some cells can be ‘full’ while other cells in the same battery pack are ’empty’. The overall battery pack performance is limited by the vehicle’s battery management system to the weakest cell when discharging and the strongest cell while charging.

What causes hybrid batteries to degrade and fail?

Eventually all batteries will fail. Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) NiMh batteries have a life cycle. When the hybrid battery does not last as long as the rest of the vehicle, replacing it costs several thousand dollars and creates hazardous environmental waste. Delaying battery failure beyond the service life of the vehicle will reduce the negative environmental impact of hybrid vehicle ownership and save the vehicle owner thousands of dollars.

Should I Use a Specialist Hybrid Mechanic?

Although hybrid cars are similar to traditional cars in many ways, they also have some very important differences. From the presence of batteries and specialized high voltage wiring to significant changes in the braking and cooling systems, hybrids are definitely a different type of vehicle.

A specialist hybrid mechanic is intimately familiar with these differences, as well as with the unique challenges that hybrids can present. Much like seeing a medical specialist, it only makes sense to take your hybrid car to someone with a deep understanding and extensive hands-on experience with hybrids.
