California was great. Back to business. Failing hybrid batteries.

As always, the annual trip to California was great. Drove the Honda Fit EV, BMW’s all-electric Active-e, CODA’s electric sedan, the RAV4-EV and much more.

Check Engine light

Now that I’m back and the seasons change from Summer to Fall, there have been quite a few calls about people having problems with hybrid batteries.

The cold weather tends to tax the hybrid batteries a bit more, and so any hybrid battery that was weak tends to begin to announce its weakness by making the car’s check engine light or other warning system come on.

If you find yourself with a failing hybrid battery, don’t worry you have plenty of options, and none of them involve you having to go to the dealer and buy a new battery.

Give us a call, we can talk you through the options and then set you up with an appointment for service.
