I want to story mory..u know what, Honda got 8 years warranty on battery. But that 8 years not cover battery degrade capacity.topkek. Means if ur battery totally cannot hold charge only they change new for u.
My brother just change his insight battery. He buying new in year 2011 and this year change new one. And he got warranty rejected from year 7 until warranty finish. kek.
Yes, hybrid battery can last very very long. But the degrade is happen, ya, it can last maybe up to 20 years. But above certain years, u already feel the power is lost even after the battery fully charged. And they dont cover battery degradation capacity.
B4 someone shoot me said I hate hybrid cars, I want to said, Im proud owner of 2013 facelifted crz with sport plus button. Dig my old comment. I do upload crz picture.
edit-I believe my crz battery can last 25 years. Only use for short distance, so if got loss power just layan dont want to change battery. Let them deplete until 0 only I change. Ya, I feel only a lil bit power loss, but not as obvious as my bro insight. Kek. Maybe due to his long distance often.
Can elaborate how your brother fail to claim warranty for the HV battery? AFAIK, battery degradation is allowed to claim warranty. I mean, how can you expect the battery not to degrade?
