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.

Three Battery Solutions for Second-Gen Insights
Choose the option that matches your driving needs and how long you plan to keep your Insight:
New 8.0 Amp High-Capacity Cells – Best Performance ($2,095)
This premium option uses brand-new 8.0 Amp cells that exceed the original factory specifications. You’ll get stronger electric assist, better fuel economy, and longer battery life than the stock configuration. Perfect for owners who want maximum performance and longevity. Comes with a 36-month warranty and unlimited mileage.
Remanufactured Hybrid Battery – Proven Value ($1,795)
Our professionally remanufactured battery brings your Insight back to factory specs at a price that makes sense. Every cell is tested and balanced, weak modules are replaced with quality units, and the complete pack undergoes rigorous testing before installation. Backed by a 12-month warranty with unlimited mileage.
Lithium Conversion Pack – Advanced DIY Option ($900)
For experienced mechanics who want to upgrade their Insight to modern lithium technology, this conversion pack includes everything needed for installation. You’ll handle the work yourself but gain the performance advantages of lithium chemistry at a fraction of professional installation costs. Comes with a 30-day limited warranty covering defective modules upon arrival.
Available for All Second-Generation Models
| Your Honda Insight | Battery Options |
| 2010 Honda Insight Hybrid Battery | New 8.0 Amp / Remanufactured / Lithium DIY |
| 2011 Honda Insight Hybrid Battery | New 8.0 Amp / Remanufactured / Lithium DIY |
| 2012 Honda Insight Hybrid Battery | New 8.0 Amp / Remanufactured / Lithium DIY |
| 2013 Honda Insight Hybrid Battery | New 8.0 Amp / Remanufactured / Lithium DIY |

Note: Lithium Conversion Pack includes 30-day limited warranty on modules only
Whether you’re driving a 2010 model entering its 15th year or a 2014 that’s just starting to show battery wear, we have the right solution. All three battery options work with every model year from the second-generation Insight.
What to Expect for Honda Insight Battery Replacement Cost
Honda dealerships typically charge $3,000-$4,500 for a 2012 Honda Insight hybrid battery replacement, and that’s if they still stock them. Many dealers now prefer to push customers toward newer vehicles rather than support older hybrids.
With Greentec Auto, you’ll pay:
- Remanufactured: $1,795 (save up to 50% vs. dealers)
- High-capacity upgrade: $2,095 (better performance, still cheaper than OEM)
- DIY lithium conversion: $900 (for experienced installers)
A 2013 Honda Insight hybrid battery costs the same as a 2011 or 2014 model when you choose the same battery type — we keep pricing fair and consistent.
Why High-Capacity Cells Make a Difference
Our upgraded 8.0 Amp cells offer measurable advantages over standard replacement batteries. The larger cell capacity means:
- Longer cycle life — more charge/discharge cycles before degradation
- Better performance in extreme temperatures — especially important in hot climates
- Improved regenerative braking efficiency — captures more energy during deceleration
- Stronger electric assist — noticeably better acceleration response
If you’re planning to keep your 2014 Honda Insight hybrid battery running for another 5-7 years, the high-capacity upgrade is worth the investment.
Professional Installation at Your Location
Skip the tow truck and repair shop waiting room. Our mobile installation service brings certified technicians directly to your home, office, or anywhere convenient for you.
The installation process takes 2-3 hours. We’ll test your IMA system diagnostics, remove the old battery pack, install your new battery, recalibrate the system, and verify everything works correctly. We also handle environmentally responsible recycling of your old battery at no extra charge.
If you prefer in-shop service, check our locations to find the nearest Greentec Auto facility.
Is It Worth Fixing a 2010 Honda Insight?
This is a common question we hear. Here’s the honest answer: if your Insight is in decent mechanical condition with no major issues beyond the battery, replacement makes financial sense.
A 2010 Honda Insight with a failing battery might get trade-in offers of $1,500-$3,000. But with a new battery, that same car is worth $5,000-$7,000 in the private market. You’ll spend less on the battery than you’d lose in trade-in value, and you’ll keep a paid-off car that delivers 40+ MPG.
Compare that to a car payment on a newer vehicle, and the choice becomes clear for most owners.
Warranty Protection for Peace of Mind
Your warranty coverage depends on which battery you choose:
- New 8.0 Amp Cells: 36 months with unlimited mileage — covers defects and performance issues
- Remanufactured Battery: 12 months with unlimited mileage — full coverage on all components
- Lithium Conversion Pack: 30-day limited warranty on modules as received — does not cover installation workmanship or damage after receipt
Both professionally installed options include unlimited mileage coverage — drive as much as you want without worrying about warranty limits. The lithium conversion pack is designed for DIY projects, so warranty covers only the components themselves, not the installation work.

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
How much does it cost to replace a 2012 Honda Insight hybrid battery?
Our remanufactured option is $1,795, and our high-capacity upgrade with new 8.0 Amp cells is $2,095. Both cost significantly less than dealership pricing of $3,000-$4,500, and both include installation if you choose our mobile service.
How long will a replacement battery last in my 2013 Honda Insight?
Remanufactured batteries typically last 3-5 years depending on driving conditions. Our high-capacity upgrade with new 8.0 Amp cells usually lasts 6-8 years or longer due to the improved cell quality.
My 2011 Honda Insight shows the IMA light. Is it definitely the battery?
The IMA light can indicate battery issues, but it can also signal other problems with the hybrid system. We offer free diagnostics before installation to confirm the battery is the actual issue. In most cases with older Insights, the battery is indeed the culprit.
Can I upgrade my 2014 Honda Insight to lithium with the conversion pack?
Yes, our lithium conversion pack works with all 2010-2014 models. However, this is a DIY option for experienced mechanics with a 30-day limited warranty on the modules only. If you’re not comfortable with the installation or want full warranty coverage, we recommend our professionally installed high-capacity battery instead.
