Hybrid High Voltage Battery Replacement

How are Hybrid High Voltage Battery issues diagnosed?

Each manufacturer has methodology and equipment to test their hybrid batteries. The results of these tests will determine the serviceability of the batteries. In some cases, individual cells have been replaced to correct a faulty battery, but this is not common professional practice, so the individual cells are not likely to be tested.

How are Hybrid High Voltage Batteries replaced?

Replacing the hybrid drive high voltage battery will be done by disconnecting the 12-volt and high voltage battery in the manufacturer specified manner and order. Once disconnected, protective covers may be used for the battery terminals. The battery access panels, if not already removed, will be removed to access the battery before lifting it out of the vehicle. Since the battery for a hybrid drive system is both bulk and heavy, it is important that the battery be lifted properly, and, in some cases, a hoist be used. Reinstallation requires the reverse of operations, but some software updates and operations may be required.

What to look out for when dealing with Hybrid High Voltage Battery issues

The term 'high voltage' is placed around every connector for the hybrid drive system, and the high voltage power wires for the hybrid high voltage battery are typically coated in a very obvious color like red or yellow.

Read the owner's manual before attempting to open the hood or battery compartment. It may prevent serious harm or death.
