Excellent, thanks. I recently bought a 2006 Accord Hybrid with every dash light known to man lit-up, and I just started driving it with the hybrid battery disconnected, because I learned that the hybrid charging system works at maximum capacity all the time when trying to charge a dead hybrid battery. So, that's why your mileage improved. Can't wait to see mine.
Can I drive it long distance like 1800 miles straight with hybrid battery on off position? And will it have all functions headlights a/c heater radio etc? Thanks
You could probably replace the A\C compressor with an alternator which will keep you 12V battery charged for years, but you will have sluggish acceleration and no A\C as well as low MPG.
It’s really not a big deal unless you are idling a lot or driving in stop and go a lot. I never had an issue with battery getting low when I tested it for 100+ miles.
I have a 2012 Honda Civic hybrid. It’s at 196k miles. My hybrid battery went out yesterday. Dealership says it cost 4K to replace. How long could I drive my car w/o the hybrid battery?
mi civic hybrido le repararon la bateria hybrida y sige con la lus ima y la de 12v prendida y no se mira en el tablero la funsion esta como ese k subiste k sera
His test left a lot out. you are likely having a failure of the DC to DC converter. First thing to check is the wire bolted to positive cable under the hood. If it is loose ( common ) then tighten it. If that does not work, follow it down to the IMA box next to battery. If the 7.5a fuse is blown, you found your issue. if not, test for 13v or higher when running. If voltage is dropping still it is likely the DC to DC inverter. His Inverter seems to be working. I bet he has a loose connection or blown fuse because all his cells are within 1% of each other. @@minigunjak97yt86
I drove mine for about a month last time it went out and the transmission slipped really bad going up a hill. I pulled over, let it cool down and it seemed to work ok after that. My appt to get the battery replaced was a few days later.
