Car Batteries – Starter/12V

A hybrid car has two batteries – the EV battery (also known as a traction battery) that holds charge and works as a fuel source, and the 12V starter battery, which is like the one in a petrol or diesel car.

In a hybrid car, the 12V battery doesn’t start the car like it does in a petrol/diesel car; it helps to extend the vehicle’s range by taking on the work of powering the computer controls, accessories, lights, etc. With this in mind, it’s important to make sure your 12V battery is in good condition and has enough charge in it. If not, you may get a light on your dashboard, or there may be signs such as dim lights or various other warning lights showing problems with other components that rely on it.

If your hybrid’s 12V battery is low, or you think there may be a problem with it, come to Lea Motors in Cheshunt, where our skilled team of technicians, who are trained to IMI Level 4, can use our advanced car diagnostics to find the cause of the problem and then correct it. And, if needed, we stock a range of quality 12V batteries suitable for hybrid vehicles and will be pleased to advise on whether yours needs replacing (they tend to last about 5 years) or simply recharging.
