Extend the Life of your Hybrid battery
Hybrid Battery Services
We Have Solutions for All of Your Hybrid Battery
FAULT CODE ANALYSIS
f the check engine light in your hybrid vehicle is on, come visit us to have your car scanned. Leaving it that way could be making the underlying issue worse. The warning light could mean many things – regenerative braking issues – poor electrical connection, or a glitch in the PCM – among other things. It can also indicate that your hybrid battery is weak or failing.
We will perform an OBD scan of your vehicle, advise you of the code and what it means. We will also attempt to clear the code.
If extensive work is required to clear the code such as repair of a faulty battery, we will provide you with a quote before we proceed with further work.
REGULAR MINOR SERVICE
The hybrid’s ventilation system cools the battery to keep it operating at its optimal temperature which is below 43C by drawing air from the passenger compartment. In doing so, it collects dust particles which stick to the air fins and clog the fan. If the fan is dirty or clogged, the air flow to the battery is obstructed, and the battery does not get flushed with the cool air that it needs to run smoothly.
Regular minor service includes a fault code analysis as described above, plus a fan/filter check.
BATTERY RECONDITIONING
Hybrid battery reconditioning combines a number of procedures to reverse the aging process and bring your battery back to life. We use state-of-the-art equipment that shows the true state of each module in your battery – voltage, resistance, amp hours (A.h), and all.
The modules are re-configured and the battery is discharged well below the level that your vehicle would naturally allow under normal operation (deep discharge). Then, the battery is charged. A 20-hour iteration of this process continues. This deep-discharge-charge procedure restores the capacity of the modules. This cycle is repeated several times to stabilise the modules and bring them to a common state of charge.
