A failing hybrid battery usually announces itself: fuel economy drops, the gas engine runs more than it used to, a warning light comes on. Those same symptoms show up with other faults, so pull the trouble codes before you spend anything. Our trouble code lookup explains what each one means.
Heat is what Sodium was designed around. Sodium is rated to an operating temperature of 140°F and lasts the longest of the three at 5-7 years, with a 4-year, unlimited-mileage warranty.
Sodium is newer technology, so it is not offered for every vehicle yet. Find My Battery will tell you in a couple of steps whether it is available for yours.
Prismatic is the closest match we offer to your vehicle’s original hybrid battery, giving you that familiar driving feel. Prismatic takes Texas heat well, lasts 4-6 years, and comes with a 3-year, unlimited-mileage warranty.
Cylindrical is the most affordable of the three and the strongest on power. Cylindrical runs 3-5 years with a 2-year, unlimited-mileage warranty.
This order is for Texas. Each type carries its own warranty, so coverage depends on which battery you choose — the warranty page lists the terms, and the battery technology page has the full side-by-side comparison.
No bay, no lift, no garage. Your driveway, your office lot, wherever the vehicle is sitting.
Tell us the year, make and model. We’ll confirm which batteries fit and what each one costs before anything gets booked.
After your order is confirmed, our scheduling team will work with you to choose and book a convenient date, time, and location that fits your schedule.
A technician shows up with the battery and the tools. Nothing to drop off, no loaner, no waiting room.
Most installs take about an hour. The old battery leaves with the technician and goes back for recycling.
We install across the whole state. If your town isn’t on the list, it’s almost certainly still covered — give us a call.
These are the ones we see most in Texas. We cover plenty more, so it’s worth checking even if yours isn’t here.
Yes. A driveway, an office lot or a curbside space is all it takes — no shop visit, no tow, no garage. Tell us where you are and we’ll confirm the options for your address.
Often, that is the case. A battery in Texas spends more of the year warm than one in a cooler state, so at ten years old it is usually further along.
Traffic is not required. Out on the open road the heat does the work on its own. Many hybrids cool the battery with air drawn from inside the vehicle, and on a 100°F afternoon that air is already warm.
Age does most of it, and heat speeds it up. A battery loses capacity as it ages wherever it lives. Texas just gives it more heat to do that in.
The usual signs are worse gas mileage, the engine running more than it used to, less power on hills, and a warning light. Other problems cause the same signs, so read the trouble codes first. Our trouble code lookup tells you what each code means. In this climate the cooling filter is worth checking at the same time, because a blocked one produces much the same symptoms.
You don’t have to work this out alone. Call (888) 473-7265 and we will read the codes with you, rule out anything else it could be, and confirm which battery fits your vehicle before you spend a cent.
Whatever it turns out to be, the vehicle still drives. A worn hybrid battery costs you gas mileage and some power. It does not leave you stranded.
Sodium if it is offered for your vehicle, because it holds up to heat better than anything else we make and it lasts the longest. Prismatic if you want the hybrid to drive the way it always has. Cylindrical if the price matters most, or if you want the most power. The battery technology page breaks down all three. If you cannot pick, choose any one of them and ask us for a quote covering all three, and we will put it together.
Every battery we install is covered, and none of the warranties has a mileage limit. There is nothing to cap, because how far you drive is not what wears a hybrid battery out. How many years you get depends on which battery you choose, and the warranty page has the terms.
Park out of the afternoon sun when you can, which in Texas means most of the year. Change the cooling filter on schedule, because that filter is the only real maintenance a hybrid battery has. If the vehicle sits for weeks at a time, take it out for a decent drive now and then. A hybrid battery slowly loses charge when nothing is using it, and letting it run all the way down does permanent damage.
