Hybrid Cars battery pack problems solved
Hybrid cars’ batteries develop various problems with time, particularly in older hybrid models imported from Japan to Kenya. One of the main challenges is associated with charge cycles, which is signified by a drop in the range of the vehicle while running off the battery. Over time, the capacity to hold a charge diminishes due to chemical changes within the battery cells, a phenomenon known as battery degradation. This is especially common in older imports, as their batteries may already have significant wear by the time they arrive in Kenya.
Another common issue arises from uneven cell wear. Hybrid batteries are typically composed of multiple cells working together. In older vehicles, some cells often degrade faster than others, creating an imbalance. This reduces battery efficiency and, in severe cases, can lead to system failure. Addressing such issues is more challenging in Kenya due to limited availability of replacement cells and expertise in battery reconditioning. This imbalance can also trigger warning lights or cause the vehicle to switch to its internal combustion engine more frequently, further reducing fuel economy.
Temperature extremes in Kenya’s climate exacerbate these problems. High temperatures can accelerate the chemical reactions inside the battery, hastening degradation, while improper storage during shipping can further reduce battery lifespan. Prolonged exposure to such conditions without proper thermal management significantly impacts the reliability of these vehicles.
