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, with a 4-year warranty and no mileage limit. Its rated range runs from −40°F to 140°F, which covers a Pennsylvania July and a January night up north.
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 match we sell to the battery your vehicle came with, so it behaves the way you are used to. It runs 4-6 years with a 3-year warranty. On price it sits between the other two, which makes it good value if you plan to keep the vehicle long term.
Of the three, cylindrical is the one that costs the least, and it gives 3-5 years with a 2-year warranty. Its ideal range reaches down to −4°F, and it puts out more power than the other two, which is what a vehicle asks for on a February morning.
This order is for Pennsylvania. 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 Pennsylvania. 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 cold is almost never the cause. Below freezing a battery hands over less power until the vehicle has warmed through, and then it behaves normally again. What you felt that week was capacity the summers had already taken, showing up at the one time of year it cannot be ignored.
No. Steady highway running at 55-70 is about the easiest work a hybrid battery ever does, and distance is not what uses one up. Our warranties carry no mileage limit for exactly that reason. The summers and the years are what took yours.
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. On a vehicle that spends its winters on salted roads, a corroded connection brings on some of the same complaints, so have that ruled out at the same time.
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.
Those two numbers describe different things. Ten or twelve years is how long an original takes to fall to around 60%, and it had been fading quietly for years first. What we publish is service life, and every one of them carries a warranty. Sodium gives 5-7 years, prismatic 4-6, cylindrical 3-5, and no warranty among them counts miles.
Choose New Module Sodium if it is offered for your vehicle, because it takes summer heat better than anything else we sell and its range covers a Pennsylvania winter as well. Choose New Module Prismatic if you want the nearest thing to your original. Choose New Module Cylindrical if price leads, or if you want the most power on a cold morning. The battery technology page lays the three out together. If you cannot decide, pick one and say you would like every option priced for your vehicle, and we will put that 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.
Shade through the summer does more than anything else you can do. 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.
