05 honda civic hybrid battery issues?
I have an 05 honda civic hybrid and at random times it will not start. Usually after not running for a good minute. I have a hunch its simply a bad 12v but i do not want to invest in that without further info. When driving the ima assist and charge works fine but the battery charge dies very quickly. It will also start just fine after a jump every time. Any info is appreciated
Any auto electrician can test the 12v battery for you, and sell you a new one.
That battery is just a conventional lead acid car battery, and only has a life or 3 or 4 years. If the battery is that old, it's due to be replaced.
I agree - have the 12V battery tested and replaced if necessary. I would be inclined to replace it regardless of he test if it is more than three years old, just to avoid the aggravation.
On a separate (I think) note, Honda hybrid batteries have a poor service life. When Honda recognized that they had a problem they made a change in the hybrid programming, reducing the demands on the batteries but dropping the fuel economy way below advertised levels. There were lawsuits with a class settlement of $100 for qualifying original owners, but the deadline was four years ago.
- Bought a 1985 Honda inspector kid told me it needed new battery but started with jump got new battery and it was dead next day? Pretty sure its the alternator just wanted some second opinions also I got the bike for 600 dollars you guys think thats a good deal
- Will a 2003 Hybrid Honda civic bumper cover fit a 2002 honda civic EX? I wan't to get a 2003 honda civic hybrid bumper for my honda civic 2002 ex will it fit? Looks the same just that the 03 has better fog lights
- Roughly how much could I get from selling my hybrid car with a dead hybrid battery? I have a 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid with about 175k miles. I'm the second owner and there's nothing else wrong with it besides the dead hybrid battery. The battery is very expensive to replace and it's honestly just more of a financially smart decision to sell it rather than spending about 2,000 on a new battery. I just want to know what is a decent price to let it go for considering the hybrid battery is dead ultimately making it useless until replaced.
