How Often Should Hybrid Batteries Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Hybrid batteries are typically replaced every 8 years. Here are the details: Battery replacement cases: The hybrid power system is designed to last as long as the vehicle itself, with an 8-year or 200,000-kilometer warranty. There have been cases abroad where taxis ran over 1.3 million kilometers without battery replacement, while others required replacement within 3-4 years. Maintenance tips: Turn off electrical devices before parking and shutting off the engine: Leaving lights, audio systems, air conditioning, or other electrical devices on after the engine is off can significantly harm the battery. Avoid long-term vehicle inactivity: If the vehicle is unused for extended periods, the battery charge will gradually deplete, making it difficult to start the engine next time. Regularly clean the battery: Use a damp cloth to wipe the battery's exterior, removing dust, grease, and other contaminants from the terminals and panels that could cause leakage, preventing the buildup of acidic residue.
