How often should hybrid batteries be replaced?

[Quentin]

The power system of hybrid vehicles is designed to last the lifetime of the car, with an 8-year or 200,000-kilometer warranty. There are cases abroad where taxis have run over 1.3 million kilometers without battery replacement, as well as instances where batteries were replaced within 3-4 years. Below are additional tips for battery maintenance: 1. Turn off electrical devices before parking and shutting off the engine: Leaving lights, audio systems, air conditioning, and other electrical devices on for extended periods after the engine is off is very harmful to the battery. 2. Avoid long-term vehicle inactivity: If the vehicle is not used for a long time, the battery's charge will gradually decrease, making it difficult to start the engine the next time you drive. 3. Regularly clean the battery: Use a damp cloth to periodically wipe the exterior of the battery, removing dust, grease, and other contaminants from the panel and the positive and negative terminals that could cause leakage, preventing the accumulation of corrosive acidic powder.
