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.
The longest service life we make at 5-7 years, with a 4-year warranty and no mileage limit. In a climate that isn’t shortening anyone’s battery life, the one that simply lasts longest is the straightforward answer.
It’s newer technology, so it isn’t offered for every vehicle yet. Find My Battery will tell you in a couple of steps whether it’s available for yours.
4-6 years behind a 3-year warranty, and the nearest match to the battery your vehicle came with. A sensible choice if you’d rather not change how anything behaves.
The cheapest of the three, good for 3-5 years and covered for 2. High power output suits a vehicle doing a lot of short starts and stops.
This order is for Washington. 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 Washington. We cover plenty more, so it’s worth checking even if yours isn’t here.
Yes. Someone drives out to wherever the vehicle is — a driveway, an office lot or a curbside space is all it takes. No shop visit, no tow, no garage needed. Tell us where you are and we’ll confirm the options for your address.
Because weather is only half of it. The other half is how the vehicle is used — time spent crawling in traffic, and how often it gets started. A mild climate means nothing is speeding the wear up, not that nothing is causing it.
The usual signs are falling fuel economy, the gas engine running more than it used to, less power on hills, and a warning light on the dash. Those overlap with other faults, so pull the trouble codes before you spend anything — our trouble code lookup explains what each one means. A damp climate is hard on connections and cooling parts as well, so it’s worth checking before you decide.
You don’t have to work this out alone. Call us and a sales agent will go through the codes with you and rule out the other things it could be, before anyone talks about replacing a battery.
Whatever it turns out to be, the vehicle will still drive. A hybrid always has the gas engine to fall back on, so a worn battery costs you fuel economy and some power — it doesn’t leave you at the side of the road.
About an hour for most vehicles. The technician brings the battery and the tools, fits it where the vehicle is parked, and takes the old one away for recycling.
New Module Sodium where it’s offered for your vehicle — it lasts the longest and the warranty has no mileage limit. New Module Prismatic is the like-for-like replacement. New Module Cylindrical costs the least and is built for high power output. The battery technology page compares all three.
Every battery we fit is covered, and none of them has a mileage limit on the warranty. That isn’t generosity — it’s because distance isn’t what wears a hybrid battery out, so there’s nothing to cap. How many years you’re covered depends on which battery you choose, and the warranty page lists the terms for each.
Combining errands into one trip helps more than it sounds like it should, because every separate start is another cycle. And check the cooling vent and filter behind the rear seat more often than the manual suggests — damp loads them quickly here. And if the vehicle sits unused for weeks at a time, take it out for a proper drive now and again — a hybrid battery slowly loses charge when nothing is using it, and letting it run right down does lasting harm.
