What Does My Hybrid Battery Power?

Your hybrid battery serves a crucial role in your car by primarily powering the electric engine that helps the gasoline engine drive the car. By doing this, your car can get more fuel efficiency since some of the slack is picked up by the electric engines power.

The electric motor is often used during low speeds when the full power of the engine is not required, or while the car is accelerating. It also may power auxiliary systems of your car such as lights.

How Is My Hybrid Battery Powered?

The hybrid engine is powered by two different things, regenerative braking and your cars internal combustion engine. Regenerative braking works by converting the energy generated by your cars brakes into electrical charge. Over time this will regenerate the charge lost by the electric motors use.

Your cars regular internal combustion engine will also recharge your hybrid battery. During your internal combustion engines regular operation, it will generate more power than it needs. This excess power can be channeled into your hybrid battery to help maintain its charge. When taking care of your hybrid battery, you do not need to worry about manually charging it. Instead your car will make sure the hybrid battery stays charged. Over time however, the hybrid battery will wear down due to natural wear and tear, requiring replacement.
