Hybrid Service FAQs

Hybrid Batteries VS. Regular Car Batteries

Hybrid cars have a different type of battery than traditional gas-powered cars. While gas cars typically use a lead-acid battery to get the engine started, hybrid cars use high-voltage lithium-ion or nickel-metal-hydride battery packs that provide power to the electric motor.

These batteries have a longer lifespan than traditional car batteries but are also more expensive to replace if they fail. They also require special tools and expertise to maintain, so it’s critical that you come to Suski Chevrolet in Birch RunMIchigan, to get your battery serviced instead of trying to do it yourself.

Brake Maintenance

Hybrid vehicles also have regenerative braking systems that convert kinetic energy into electrical energy to charge the battery. As a result, the brake pads and rotors may last longer than in a gas-powered car. However, it’s still important to have the brakes inspected regularly to ensure that they are functioning properly.
