There are a number of reasons why consumers purchase a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) instead of the standard internal combustion engine – and significant fuel cost savings along with a greener environment top the list.  Once you purchase your HEV though, you need to be diligent in keeping it properly maintained.  They are technologically advanced machines and they require proper maintenance.

One of the main concerns with an HEV is the battery performance.  Over time, the hybrid battery loses power and you will find that it just doesn’t have the pep it once did and its fuel efficiency will begin to diminish.  At this point you could replace it with a new hybrid battery, although the cost of doing so will run four to five thousand dollars.  Battery replacement also has a significant environmental impact and since we already determined that cost savings and a greener environment are two of the top attractions to HEV ownership, why would you choose to go that route?

There is an alternative to battery replacement however; it’s battery reconditioning.   Battery pack conditioning will improve fuel economy and performance while restoring up to 95% of the battery’s power and energy.  As an added bonus, all of this can be done at approximately 1/3 the cost of battery replacement.  So not only are you saving a considerable amount of out of pocket expense, it is the most sustainable and ecological solution available.

Battery Pack Conditioning is the culmination of years of scientific study and trials conducted by Dr. Mark Quarto, Ph.D., EE and his team of experts at Automotive Research and Design (AR&D).  This proprietary, patent-pending alternative to battery replacement is now offered at The Hybrid Shop.  Our technicians have received specialized training on how to properly maintain and repair your HEV so you can be assured that your investment is safe and will receive the finest service available.
