Hybrid Battery Replacement Timeline

While a standard auto battery is replaced every two or three years on average, the hybrid battery lasts considerably longer. In fact, your car won’t require a hybrid battery replacement until around 150,000 miles or 15 years under normal conditions! This is just an average, so a driver in Hudson might need a replacement sooner than another driver in Saugerties. But even if the battery fails prematurely for some reason, Chevy has you covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles by the limited warranty!

Hybrid Battery Replacement Cost

Let’s say your battery does have an issue. How much does a hybrid battery replacement cost? The price can vary from $2,000 to $8,000 – which is why federal law dictates hybrid batteries must be covered under warranty. Most Windham drivers will get the full lifespan out of their battery, so there’s no need to worry. 

How can you ensure that your battery lasts as long as possible? The biggest threats to your battery are extreme temperatures and poor charging habits. Try to avoid letting your hybrid sit in the sweltering heat or freezing cold if possible, and don’t drive when your charge level is too low. Other than that, your battery is built to last. Our service team would be happy to take a look at it if you have any concerns.
