Whichever one of those people you are, you clicked on the right video [music] because today we’re going to be going over everything you need to know about Honda Accord hybrid battery replacement. We’re going to be talking about how long these batteries [music] actually last, what kills them the fastest, how much it’s going to cost to replace one, the different [music] battery options you have, whether it’s worth it to go with a dealership or a secondary supplier like us, and finally, and most importantly, if it’s really worth it to [music] replace your Honda Accord hybrid battery. And if you stick with me until the end of today’s video, I’m going to be giving away a $150 discount code [music] that you can use for not if, but when your hybrid battery goes bad. So without further ado, let’s get straight into [music] it. First of all, this is what a Honda Accord to hybrid battery actually looks like right in front of me. Now depending on which year of a Honda hybrid you own, the battery itself can [music] look pretty pretty different. For example, the hybrid battery used in a 2005, 2006, or 2007 Honda [music] Accord is very different from the batteries used in newer generations available. So how long does a Honda Accord hybrid battery actually last? What kills these [music] things the fastest? On average, you’re generally looking at anywhere between 8 and 10 years for the lifespan. Now, of course, that does depend on several [music] factors. Number one, how you drive the vehicle, and number two, what kind of [music] climate you live in. These are the biggest factors that will affect lifespan. And the biggest killer of all hybrid batteries is heat. Hybrid batteries contain [music] individual battery modules and cells that store and release the energy. [music] Over time, especially when exposed to excessive heat, the chemistry inside of these cells [music] begin to degrade. And the faster that degradation happens, the shorter the overall lifespan of [music] the battery can become. That’s why somebody driving in an extremely hot climate like Arizona, California, or Texas will have degradation [music] a lot more faster than someone in a cooler environment. Now, let’s get into what you probably clicked on this video for. How much does it cost to replace [music] one of these batteries? And this is where the year of your Accord makes a huge difference. For a 2005, 2006, or 2007 Honda Accord hybrid, [music] battery options range from approximately $999 for a remanufactured battery all the way up to $1,495 for a battery with new [music] 8 a cells. The remanufactured option comes with a 12-month warranty, while the new cell option comes with a 36month warranty. For newer generations, including the 2014, 2015, [music] 2017, and 2018 through 2024, the listed price is anywhere from $2,850 [music] to 3,550. So, when someone asks how much does it cost to [music] replace a Honda Accord hybrid battery, there isn’t just one answer. It depends heavily on which year of Honda Accord hybrid you own. Now, when [music] you’re looking for replacement, you may have different battery options. For the older 2005 [music] to 2007 Honda Accords, we offer both a remanufactured and a new 8 hour cell battery. The remanufactured battery is a more affordable option, and it comes with a 12-month warranty. The new 8 A cell option is people designed looking for longevity and keeping this vehicle for a long time. That’s why it comes with a 36-month [music] warranty. So, which one should you choose? Well, it really comes down to what you plan on doing with the car itself. If your Honda Accord is in great shape and you [music] want to keep it for years, spending more money on a new cell option and getting a longer [music] warranty is going to make a lot more sense. But if you’re looking for more of an affordable option and you only want to keep the car for a few more years, a remanufactured battery is [music] still great. Now, let’s talk about the dealership because dealerships can charge significantly more for hybrid battery replacement [music] compared to a place like us. And that’s because dealerships are primarily in the business of selling cars, [music] not batteries. Luckily, that’s where Green Techch Auto comes in the mix. We’ve been specializing in hybrid and EV battery replacement [music] for over 13 years. We have 35 locations across the United States, Canada, and in the UK. And batteries isn’t [music] something we do. It is all we do. And for this battery specifically, we offer a mobile installation [music] service where we can come out to you, whether it’s your home, your office, or even a Walmart parking lot for all the weare [music] and install your hybrid battery wherever you are. Now, let’s get into the final question. Is it really worth it to replace one of these batteries? [music] I would ask you, what is the condition of your specific vehicle? Is the rest of the car in good shape? Is the engine still running well? How long do you plan on keeping the car? Because if your hybrid is running great and the battery [music] is the main issue, replacing the battery could give the vehicle years of additional life. For someone with an older Accord hybrid, spending $1 to $2,000 on a battery [music] replacement could make significantly more financial sense than immediately going and buying another car. But also consider this. If the battery is bad, but the vehicle also needs major [music] work, transmission repairs, and thousands of other dollars in maintenance, then you need to consider whether putting more money into a vehicle really makes sense. At the end of [music] the day, a failed hybrid battery doesn’t mean the entire car is finished. So, I hope we provided you with the [music] information you need to know about what kills these batteries, how long they last, and how much it’s going to cost to replace it. And on top of that, if it’s really worth [music] it.
