Hey guys, would like to know if any of you guys fully charge the IMA battery manually every 2 to 3 months to prolong battery life? According to the Honda salesman, it is done by pressing the fuel pedal with gear set at 'N' position, and maintain the RPM at around 3-4000 for 4-5 minutes.

QUOTE(geek8585 @ May 25 2014, 02:37 PM) never heard of this... but the IMA have 8 years of warranty so actually i wish it kong at around 7yrs and i get a new replacement ... hahaha ... touchwood Oops, sorry for causing the confusion. Actually this is done while the car is resting. Gear switch to N with hand brake pulled.  however, the way you mentioned is hard to practice... like what you mentioned, it is like a super long downhill distance... you switch to N and let your car keep rolling without any gearing? hell this is too dangerous... i dowan to risk my life just to prolong the battery... and when u downhill at a 15-20km/h, once you hit the brake, if you are in N or D, the engine will just auto stop till you lift up your leg from the brake... engine stop and 3-4k rpm? how to do that? LOL and not to forget, keep on downhill stepping brake will cause your brake disc and pad damaged   QUOTE(lingyg @ May 25 2014, 03:58 PM) Honda Civic Hybrid 2013 and 2012 no need to do this. I see, thanks for the info! But I wonder how come the salesman still recommends me to do this, I bought my car on Dec 2013.Only Insight and previous generation Civic Hybrid needs that bcoz different technology. |
