said by pkarlos_76 :Quoted from » www.hybridcars.com/faq.html"How often do hybrid batteries need replacing? Is replacement expensive and disposal an environmental problem?" Answer: "The hybrid battery packs are designed to last for the lifetime of the vehicle, somewhere between 150,000 and 200,000 miles, probably a whole lot longer. The warranty covers the batteries for between eight and ten years, depending on the car maker. That answer is 100% true, of course, because by the time you have racked up that kind of mileage on a vehicle, it is not financially smart to buy a new battery, but instead to put that money towards a new car. Since for most people that means the get rid of the current car, then it is 100% true that the battery has lasted "the life of the vehicle." -- Only SHATNER is Kirk. |
