CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
Trusted by Hybrid & EV Owners Nationwide
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 drove 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.

Cores must be returned within 45 days of purchase. This applies to shipping orders only. In all other circumstances, the core will be picked up at the time of service, no deposit required.
How do I return my old hybrid battery?
Once your new hybrid battery has arrived, put the core battery back into the same packaging your battery arrived in. As soon as we receive your core battery, we will refund the core deposit back to you. It’s that easy.
Two Replacement Solutions
New High-Capacity Battery
Our premium replacement uses new high-capacity cells engineered for maximum performance and longevity. You’ll get stronger electric assist, improved fuel economy, and the confidence of 36 months warranty coverage with unlimited mileage. This option is ideal for owners planning to keep their Civic Hybrid for years to come.
Remanufactured Battery Pack
Professionally rebuilt to factory standards, this budget-friendly option brings your Civic back to reliable operation. Every cell is tested, weak modules are replaced, and the complete pack undergoes rigorous quality control. Backed by 12 months of warranty protection with unlimited mileage.
The Lithium-Ion Difference
Honda switched to lithium-ion technology starting with the 2012 model year, abandoning the nickel-metal hydride chemistry used in previous generations. This wasn’t just a minor update — it changed everything about how these batteries perform and fail.
Lithium-ion offers advantages: lighter weight, better energy density, and improved performance in cold weather. But these packs also have unique characteristics. They don’t gradually fade like NiMH batteries — they maintain decent performance until suddenly declining. When a 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid battery finally fails, owners often report it seemed fine one week and problematic the next.
The 2013 Honda Civic Hybrid battery uses refined versions of this technology, but the fundamental chemistry remains the same. By 2014, Honda had optimized the battery management software, though the 2014 Honda Civic Hybrid battery still faces the same age-related degradation. Even the final 2015 Honda Civic Hybrid battery in this generation is now approaching 10 years old — right at the expected replacement point for lithium-ion technology.
Recognizing Lithium-Ion Battery Failure
These symptoms indicate your battery needs attention:
- IMA warning light illuminated on the dashboard
- “EV” mode unavailable or only lasts a few seconds
- Gas engine runs almost continuously, even in stop-and-go traffic
- Battery state-of-charge gauge shows erratic readings
- Noticeably reduced acceleration power
- Fuel economy has dropped from the usual 44+ MPG to high 30s
Unlike older NiMH batteries that show gradual decline, lithium-ion packs in these Civics tend to reach a tipping point where multiple symptoms appear within weeks of each other.
Real Costs: Dealers vs. Independent Service
Honda dealerships typically refuse to service 2012-2015 Civic Hybrids anymore, or they quote $4,000-$5,500 for battery replacement. Many dealers openly encourage trading in these cars rather than repairing them — even though they’re mechanically sound vehicles with plenty of life remaining.
Our approach is different. We believe a 10-year-old Civic Hybrid with a new battery is a smart financial decision for most owners:
- Remanufactured: $999 (75%+ savings vs. dealer quotes)
- New high-capacity: $1,499 (still 60-70% less than dealers)
The pricing applies equally whether you need a 2013 Honda Civic Hybrid battery replacement or service for a 2015 model. We don’t penalize owners of older vehicles with inflated labor rates or refusal of service.
The Financial Case for Replacement
Let’s look at actual numbers. A 2014 Honda Civic Hybrid with a non-functional battery might fetch $3,500-$4,500 at trade-in. Spend $999-$1,499 on a replacement battery, and that same vehicle is worth $7,500-$10,000 in private sale.
Beyond resale value, consider the alternative. Trading in your Civic means taking on a car payment of $400-$600 monthly for a newer vehicle. Even financing the battery replacement at $1,499 costs less than three months of typical car payments — and you keep a paid-off car that delivers exceptional fuel economy.
Mobile Battery Installation Service
We bring the service to you. Our mobile installation service sends certified technicians to your home, workplace, or any location that works for you.
The installation takes 3-4 hours. Our team handles the complete process: diagnostic testing, safe removal of the old lithium-ion pack from under the rear cargo area, installation of your new battery, system calibration, and road testing to verify everything works correctly. We also manage environmentally responsible recycling of your old battery at no additional charge.

Know Your Hybrid’s Battery Health Without Breaking the Bank
If you notice warning lights on your dashboard, don’t rush to the dealership for an expensive diagnostic report. Many local auto parts stores can scan your vehicle and provide error codes for free—just ask them to run a quick scan with a diagnostic tool.
Above, we’ve listed some of the most common hybrid error codes. Keep in mind that the check engine light must be onfor major issues to be detected. If your vehicle is experiencing hybrid battery failure, dealerships often charge thousands of dollars for a replacement—typically with a limited warranty.
At Greentec Auto, we offer a cost-effective alternative, providing high-quality hybrid battery replacements at a fraction of the price. Plus, we back our batteries with a comprehensive warranty to give you peace of mind.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my 2013 Honda Civic Hybrid battery fail so suddenly?
Lithium-ion batteries behave differently than the NiMH packs in older hybrids. They maintain relatively stable performance until reaching a degradation threshold, then decline rapidly. This is normal for lithium-ion chemistry — it’s not a defect in your specific 2013 Honda Civic Hybrid battery.
Can I use a 2012 battery in my 2015 Honda Civic Hybrid?
Yes. All 2012-2015 models use the same lithium-ion battery pack with identical specifications. Honda made software updates throughout these years, but the physical battery remained unchanged. A battery for a 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid works perfectly in a 2015 model.
How much does a 2014 Honda Civic Hybrid battery replacement actually cost?
We offer two clear options: $999 for a remanufactured battery with 12 months warranty, or $1,499 for a new high-capacity battery with 36 months warranty. Both include unlimited mileage coverage. Dealerships charge $4,000-$5,500 when they’ll service these models at all.
My 2015 Honda Civic Hybrid only has 60k miles. Does the battery still need replacement?
Probably yes. Lithium-ion batteries degrade based on age more than mileage. Even with low miles, a 10-year-old 2015 Honda Civic Hybrid battery has gone through thousands of charge cycles. If you’re seeing symptoms like reduced EV mode or the IMA light, mileage doesn’t matter — the battery needs replacement.
Which battery should I choose for my 2012 Civic Hybrid?
It depends on your plans. Keeping the car for 5+ more years? The $1,499 new high-capacity battery with 36 months warranty is the better long-term value. Planning to drive it for 2-3 more years or working with a tight budget? The $999 remanufactured option with 12 months warranty makes more sense.
