Hybrid Battery Reconditioning Problems and
Suggested Solutions
  • Hybrid battery reconditioning has made things
    easier in more ways than one. There is a reason
    that people consider it to be a revolutionary
    idea. Before proceeding to shed some light on the
    various aspects associated with reconditioning,
    let us first provide you with information on how
    you can recognize if your battery is in need of
    some work.
  • Symptoms of Decrease in Hybrid Battery
    Reconditioning
  • One of the most prominent symptoms which should
    alert you that there is something wrong with your
    battery is that there is a noticeable decrease in
    the acceleration power of the vehicle while the
    fuel consumption increases. In addition to this,
    you will notice that your battery charges and
    discharges all too soon. The ICE engine will also
    turn on more than usual. The hybrid battery that
    is deteriorating will not trigger the malfunction
    indicator lamp in the early stages. This will
    happen only when the battery is on its last legs.

Further Points of Hybrid Battery Reconditioning
  • Hybrid batteries need proper level of care if
    you want to make it certain that they last for a
    long time. Excessive heat generation can lead to
    a decrease in their lifespans. If you go on long
    drives with a hybrid battery that is not
    functioning optimally, damage can also incur to
    other hybrid parts including the likes of
    inverters and converters which can prove to be
    rather costly.
  • A hybrid battery is an integral part of the
    hybrid system. If it is not functioning in an
    optimal manner, other hybrid components would
    inadvertently be affected and, thus, this is
    something that needs to be given attention
    immediately, lest the problem gets bigger.

4
The Perfect Solution
  • It is hybrid battery reconditioning that can
    save you from a lot of trouble. It has a lot to
    offer, more of which we will discuss shortly. It
    is prudent to first provide you with a brief
    overview of what battery reconditioning is all
    about.

5
Procedure of Reconditioning
  • The process essentially consists of two
    elements, which include charging the battery pack
    and deep discharging it. The process involves
    combining the charging process with a deep
    discharging one multiple times, thereby leading
    to the reconditioning of the battery. It leads to
    the breakdown of the crystal formations or the
    voltage depressions within the battery, which
    restores the usable battery capacity that was
    lost. The cell voltage levels are equalized with
    each other as a result. In the end, what you get
    is a battery that is capable of providing more
    usable capacity to the vehicle that can be taken
    advantage of to its full potential.
  • For the process of reconditioning, you will need
    to get your hands on a reconditioning pack that
    would provide you with quality results.

6
  • Let us now proceed to provide you with the steps
    that you need to go through for the purpose of
    reconditioning your battery. Before you commence
    with the process, it is advisable to disconnect
    the AUX battery so as to make it certain that it
    is not discharged accidentally via the interior
    lights while you are going through the
    reconditioning process.

7
Steps
  • The first thing that you need to do is charge the
    battery. You will have to charge the battery till
    the voltage ceases to rise. Full balancing is
    also recommended, but it is not something that
    you are required to do at this junction.
  • Once the charging is done, you need to discharge
    the battery. The voltage should reach at least
    0.8V per cell.
  • Repeat the process of charging till the voltage
    stops rising and then discharge the battery to
    0.5V per cell. Once again, charging needs to be
    done till the voltage reaches its maximum level
    and then the battery needs to be discharged to a
    level of 0.1V per cell.

8
  • Repeat the process for the last time by charging
    and balancing the battery. The charger should now
    be allowed to run for a minimum of 4 hours after
    the voltage ceases to rise. This ensures that the
    pack is indeed fully balanced.
  • You can now disconnect the charger following
    which the battery should be allowed to rest for a
    minimum of 30 minutes. It is a good idea to allow
    it to rest for one hour before you make an
    attempt to start the vehicle.
  • We have provided you with a complete battery
    reconditioning treatment that you can go through.
    However, if you do not have that much time, you
    can also opt for two discharging cycles instead
    of going for the full three. Two-cycle
    reconditioning treatment tends to take over a
    single weekend, thereby ensuring that your work
    does not have to suffer owing to it.

9
  • While the reconditioning treatment has shown to
    be successful in restoring optimal battery
    performance in most of the cases, sometimes, it
    is not enough. This depends on the condition of
    the battery as well as the extent of degradation
    that it had faced when the reconditioning
    treatment was commenced. In case you do not get
    the desired results from the reconditioning
    treatment and instead get the failure errors, you
    should take the hint that one or more modules
    inside the battery have suffered a severe
    failure, which would take more than
    reconditioning to solve it. Physical replacement
    would need to be done in this case.

10
More About Hybrid Reconditioning Batteries
  • In some cases, even a replacement would not work.
    For instance, when we talk about the Honda hybrid
    battery, you will find that replacing a single
    stick to match the capacity to the remaining
    battery is extremely difficult. Thus, it is not
    advisable to endeavor to opt for a replacement in
    this case. You would, instead, be better off with
    a full battery replacement.
  • In contrast, when it is the Toyota hybrid
    batteries that we talk about, it has been seen
    that replacing failed modules has yielded
    successful results. To determine which of the
    modules have failed in a Toyota battery, you need
    to conduct a load test of each module. You would
    come across reliable battery module load testers
    on the market, which would make things easier for
    you. They are not very expensive, so money is not
    something that you will need to worry about
    either.

11
  • Once you have replaced the failed modules, you
    ought to perfect the battery reconditioning
    treatment a second time. This will ensure that
    the new module equalizes with the rest of the
    battery pack. After you have replaced the failed
    modules, you should make sure that you perform
    regular maintenance of the battery so as to make
    it certain that additional modules do not suffer
    the same fate.

12
The Effects of Reconditioning
  • There is no denying that hybrid vehicles have a
    lot of benefits to offer you. However, they also
    have some drawbacks. This is especially so when
    you think about the loss of battery power,
    energy, and capacity that occurs over the course
    of time. This is a natural process which is found
    in all hybrid vehicles. The battery performance
    is bound to decrease over time. The only question
    to ponder upon is, when will the inevitable
    occur?
  • In such a situation, hybrid battery
    reconditioning is just the thing you need. Since
    this treatment is capable of restoring the
    battery performance to as much as 95, you would
    not be disappointed with the results that it has
    to offer you. Essentially, there are two main
    benefits that you stand to get if you recondition
    your batteries.

13
  • The first main advantage is that you save quite
    a bit of money. You would not have to pay
    thousands of dollars to replace the damaged
    battery that is not providing you with optimal
    performance. By reconditioning your battery, you
    can save an enormous amount of money. Most of the
    times untrained technicians along with car
    dealerships advice people to replace batteries
    since they charge quite a bit for it. You ought
    to ensure that their talks do not lure you.
  • The reason that most people opt for hybrid
    vehicles is that they want to do what is good for
    the environment. However, the purpose is somewhat
    lost when hybrid batteries are thrown away as
    they, then, gain entrance into the waste stream.
    With the help of reconditioning, you can ensure
    that the batteries are not wasted and do not find
    their way into the environment. The best thing
    about reconditioning is that you can do it as
    many times as required, which leads to the
    batteries attaining a longer lifespan.

14
Conclusion
  • There is no doubt that reconditioning batteries
    is capable of providing you with impressive
    results. However, the one thing that you will
    need to ensure is that you make use of quality
    equipment. You should use the right charger and
    discharger if you want to make sure that the
    reconditioning treatment is successful.
    Therefore, get your hands on equipment that is
    profound in quality and can be relied on before
    you contemplate going ahead with the hybrid
    battery reconditioning.
