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.
Sodium runs 5-7 years, longer than the other two, and carries a 4-year warranty with no mileage limit. Its rated range of −40°F to 140°F is the widest we sell.
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 sodium is available for yours.
Prismatic is the closest option we offer to your vehicle’s original battery, delivering familiar performance and a factory-like feel. Expect 4-6 years from it, backed by a 3-year warranty. Prismatic strikes a strong balance of quality and value, especially if you plan to keep your vehicle for the long term.
Cylindrical is our most affordable battery option, with an expected life of 3-5 years and a 2-year warranty. It delivers strong power output and is designed to perform in temperatures as low as −4°F, making it a great choice for drivers looking for performance and value.
This order is for New York. 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 New York. 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.
The traffic does the wearing. Crawling drains the battery without ever letting the engine run steadily enough to replace the charge. Working a battery from the bottom of its range is what makes the heat that costs it capacity. Cold is a different thing. A cold battery hands over less power until the vehicle has warmed through, and then it behaves normally again.
Short trips are one of the harder patterns, and not because of the distance. A hybrid battery counts a cycle from starting the vehicle, so ten short errands is ten cycles. Steady highway running at 55-70 is the easy case, which is why our warranties have no mileage limit.
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 before you spend anything. Our trouble code lookup tells you what each code means. Winters on salted roads can corrode a connection, and that brings on some of the same complaints, so have it ruled out too.
You don’t have to figure this out alone. Call us and we will go through the codes with you and rule out the other causes first.
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.
The two numbers measure different things. Ten or twelve years is how long an original takes to drift down to around 60%, and the slipping starts quietly years earlier. Ours are service life figures, and each one comes with its own warranty. Sodium 5-7 years, prismatic 4-6, cylindrical 3-5, and not one of those warranties counts miles.
Choose New Module Sodium if it is offered for your vehicle, because it lasts the longest of the three and takes heat better than anything else we sell. Choose New Module Prismatic to stay closest to your original. Choose New Module Cylindrical if price comes first, or if you want the most power on a freezing morning. The battery technology page compares all three. If you are torn, pick one and tell us you would like to see every option priced for your vehicle, and we will send it over.
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.
Shade in the summer does more than anything else you can do, because summer is what takes the capacity. 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.
