Hybrid Battery Faults
What Causes Hybrid Battery Failure?
Hybrid batteries degrade over time, losing their ability to hold a charge. This happens faster in older vehicles or those used for frequent short trips.
- Cell Degradation: Individual cells within the battery pack weaken and fail.
- Overheating: Poor ventilation or blocked cooling fans cause damage.
- Lack Of Use: Sitting idle for long periods affects battery chemistry.
- High Mileage: Natural wear and tear after 150,000+ kilometres.
