Found them through internet search. Requested mobile installation. They called back within 2 hours to set up an appointment. Turns out they had a shop near me, which saved me 50% on installation cost. Took about an hour.
Prompt, quick, professional service. So much cheaper than getting another car. I would highly recommend their service to anyone who needs a hybrid battery replacement.

I was so grateful that my friend told me about this company. What I thought was going to be a $8,500.00 repair, as quoted to me by my regular auto shop, turned into a $2,400.00 repair. I will be forever grateful to Greentec EV & Hybrid Batteries. Thank you guys so much. Their customer service was excellent over the phone, and my experience with the technician that came to my home to do the repair was also excellent. I can’t thank you all enough. You really saved me!!

The hybrid battery on my Prius started dying and I managed to drive to the shop so I left it with them and told me they’ll finish it by tomorrow at 11am but they done it a lot earlier and faster than I expected. The car was running great again with the purchased of 12 month warranty remanufactured. I’m highly satisfied with the work they’ve done and I recommended them big time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are hybrid/EV error codes?
Hybrid and EV error codes are diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that indicate issues within a hybrid or electric vehicle’s powertrain, battery system, or electrical components. These codes help mechanics and vehicle owners identify problems such as:
- Hybrid battery failure
- High voltage system malfunctions
- Charging system errors
- Regenerative braking issues
Common Hybrid Battery Error Codes Include:
- P0A80– Replace Hybrid Battery Pack
- P0A7F– Hybrid Battery Pack Deterioration

If your vehicle displays a hybrid system warning light or check engine light, scanning for error codes using an OBD2 scanner can help diagnose the issue.
How do I know if my hybrid battery needs replacement?
You may need a hybrid battery replacement if you notice:
- Decreased fuel economy– The gas engine runs more to compensate for a weak battery.
- Battery warning light or error codes– Codes like P0A80 (Replace Hybrid Battery) signal failure.
- Starting issues or weak charge– A failing high-voltage battery may not hold power.
- Loss of power and performance– Sluggish acceleration or reduced electric mode use.

Use an OBD2 scanner or visit Greentec Auto for a free diagnostic.
