The hybrid Honda ima battery is a
special, complex and very sturdy unit that is responsible for supplying the
car’s electric motor with sufficient power to move the car down the road for a
few miles without turning on the internal combustion engine.
The Honda ima battery packs usually come with 10-15 years warranty periods or are warranted for
100K miles. However, even these long warranty periods come to an end, so here
are a few signs that it might be time to start saving up for a replacement
battery:
-
Increased fuel
consumption – the hybrid battery pack plays an essential role in keeping the
car’s fuel consumption at the minimum. If your hybrid car starts consuming more
fuel, it is a sign that the battery is no longer its job properly;
-
Errors displayed on the
dashboard – faulty hybrid batteries do not charge properly, which will bring up
the State of Charge warning light on the dashboard;
-
Fluctuations in MPG
soon after starting the car – if the instant MPG values displayed on the board
show wide fluctuations without a change in speed, it usually indicates a
problem of the hybrid battery pack that needs to be investigated.
