New vs. Remanufactured Hybrid Batteries: Key Differences

Apr 18, 2024

When it comes to buying a new hybrid battery, consumers can choose between purchasing a reconditioned battery from an aftermarket company or a new one from a retailer. What's the difference, and should you choose one over the other? Let's discuss the key differences between purchasing a new hybrid battery versus a remanufactured battery.

Cost 

The cost is one of the most significant differences between buying a remanufactured hybrid battery and a new one. Dealerships and retailers can charge as much as $5,000 for the new battery, not including installation costs and the inconvenience of having your car taken to the repair facility. Hybrid Battery 911 offers remanufactured batteries at a substantially lower price compared to brand-new ones from retailers. This can be particularly appealing to budget-conscious consumers who want a reliable battery at a more affordable price point. We'll even drive the new hybrid battery to you, replace it, and recycle the old battery on your behalf.

Quality and Reliability 

Many hybrid owners might have concerns about the quality of a remanufactured hybrid battery compared to a new one, and it might seem safer to purchase a new battery instead. It is true that many companies claim to "fix" dead hybrid batteries when all they do is replace a few dead cells in the battery pack. These types of fixes are nothing more than band-aids, and it won't be long before the battery fails again. However, Hybrid Battery 911 ensures its batteries undergo thorough testing, reconditioning, and quality control. This means that the remanufactured batteries are restored to a high standard of performance and reliability, comparable to brand-new batteries. We even offer warranties on our hybrid batteries to provide our customers with peace of mind.

Environmental Friendliness 

Choosing a reconditioned hybrid battery contributes to a circular economic model. By opting to reuse and refurbish batteries instead of purchasing new ones, you help reduce electronic waste and conserve valuable resources. It's a more eco-conscious choice that aligns with the principles of recycling and minimizing environmental impact. Hybrid Battery 911 reuses every part of the battery that hasn't been compromised by rust or corrosion to create new reliable hybrid batteries.

Availability and Compatibility

In contrast, retailers may have limited stock or options, especially for older hybrid models. Having to wait for the retailer to ship the correct hybrid battery to your location can be a major hassle, especially if it means your car is out of commission for several days.
