Ultimate Automotive specializes in the replacement of hybrid batteries. Every budget is catered to, so we offer a full range of options to our clients.
Hybrid car batteries are designed to operate optimally for a certain number of charge-discharge cycles. Factors such as temperature variations, charging levels, and usage patterns gradually degrade battery performance and capacity as these cycles accumulate. As a result of reduced battery capacity, hybrid vehicles lose some of the key advantages that make them attractive in the first place, such as electric driving range and overall fuel efficiency.
Cleaning and replacing the battery air filter can extend the battery life
Sticking to a consistent maintenance schedule is critical, ensuring hybrids continue to run efficiently and reliably. When you book your Hybrid Service we clean or replace the filters to help extend their lifespan.
When the time comes to replace them, we provide cost-effective options
When the time does come to replace your battery, we pride ourselves on providing a wider range of options.
Aftermarket Replacement Batteries
Unlike brand-specific batteries, aftermarket batteries can be used with a wide range of models. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative, these are a great option.
Authentic Replacement Batteries
These come directly from the supplier and are batteries designed for your particular make and model car.
Reconditioned Batteries
These batteries have had their cells replaced or their charge levels adjusted via software. Batteries can also be reconditioned using other techniques. By reconditioning hybrid batteries, fewer batteries end up in landfills, reducing the environmental impact of battery disposal. Additionally, they are significantly cheaper than replacement batteries.
