Show DetailsHow long should a battery last?
Most Hybrid owners get between 80,000 and 200,000 miles from their original batteries. Our replacement battery is warrantied for 36 months with no mileage limit. We replace the less durable parts in the battery packs with our own improved and upgraded parts and upgrade all cells to the more durable Gen2 design cells. These cells have been reconditioned through our proprietary processes and must pass durability testing before being placed in one of our battery packs.
Show DetailsIs it true that a remanufactured battery is just a junk yard battery?
A remanufactured component is one that has been rebuilt using repaired existing components and/or new components. Hybrid Drive Batteries are totally remanufactured and tested as complete systems including the battery computer or ECU, harnesses, copper buses, connectors, and frames.
Show DetailsIf the pack has one bad battery can you just put one new cell in it?
When one cell has failed, the pack must be completely disassembled to replace the one faulty battery module. Such repairs are short lived at a relatively high cost, without guarantee. It is more cost effective to replace all cell modules at the same time because if one battery has failed, it is likely that the others are nearing the end of their service lives as well. Additionally, it is critical for proper function that all cell modules be at the same state of charge, so if one cell is replaced, it will not be in sync with the original cells.
