What Are My Options If My Hybrid Battery is Bad Honda Civic Hybrid 06-11 IMA Light On SAVE MONEY!
This video will give you some more insight on what your options are if your Honda Civic Hybrid battery is bad. These options can be used with any Hybrid vehicle, just make sure you get the matching part.
Options to replace/recondition your Honda Hybrid Battery:
1. Go to a local junk yard and remove the hybrid battery yourself. This will cost you around $300 (that’s what I have been charged here in Utah) plus you will have to give them your old battery unless you want to pay the core charge (I would just keep the old battery). The warranty won’t be great and you have no idea how to tell if the battery is good or not. I would get one from a wrecked car, if you can’t see any damage to the vehicle, it’s very possible that it is in the junk yard because the hybrid battery was bad.
2. Go to www.car-part.com and find a used battery. You can get some good deals on here. I have only ever gotten one on here for about $600 but it worked great. Just make sure you get a good warranty and ask the salesman how long it’s been sitting, and if it was test driven before being pulled.
3. Go to ebay.us/r3Il1B and search for a hybrid battery. Again this is hit or miss but I have found some good deals on here. I got a $300 used hybrid battery shipped to my door that worked great.
4. Go to bumblebeebatte... and buy a remanufactured battery from them. This will run you $1700 plus whatever extra you want to pay to get a better warranty. I would do this if you have zero experience with cars and want to keep your vehicle for many years.
5. Get a grid charger from ebay.us/Qu4nrr this will cost you about $300 but you can use this for multiple vehicles. You can also let a friend borrow it or rent it out or even sell it when you are done with the vehicle and recoup the cost. I have used this on three vehicles and all three were fixed with a bi yearly charge.
6. Buy a brand new one from a dealership. It is going to cost you about $3000.00 out the door, and if you want to have them install it, its going to cost an additional $400. They are brand spanking new, but warranty won’t be great and it is going to, most likely, cost more than what your vehicle is worth.
7. Build your own grid charger. This is a very inexpensive way to fix your vehicle but most people won’t be able to figure out how to do it.
8. Take your battery apart and charge each stick individually and test which sticks have limited capacity. This is the best and most inexpensive way to fix your hybrid vehicle battery but it can take a long time and you will need to know what your doing. I recommend this if you are messing with a lot of hybrid batteries.

2006 civic hybrid here.. 274K miles on here.. rust is starting to kill her..lol but i have my OEM out at around 170K miles.. grid charger helped for a while, but finally bought the Bumblebee premium pack.. now i grid charge the bumble bee 4 times a year... now on my 4th year on the bumble bee.. and it still runs good.. average 46-52 mpg @ 68mph... but what i have had to do my car.. new plugs new coil packs new O2 and A/F sensors ! cleaned my EGR passages.. they were super clogged... she runs best on premium fuel keep up the good work.. your video is spot on.

Best option? Just keep driving, often! 07 here, bought @212k miles in 2021. Currently at 274k miles. Battery pack is a remanufactured one from some big company you wouldn't think dated 2017. Has had IMA light since I bought, still runs just fine, just be mindful of battery level when you need to take off from a stop. Have a BUSY intersection? Sit there for a few extra seconds before launching if it's not an intersection with a light. Otherwise, you're fine. The longer it sits not being driven, the worse the battery gets overtime. This is the MAIN killer for hybrid batteries. You only drive 5-10 miles a week? You're killing your battery as it's not charging enough to offset the amount it's used to assist.

So my fiances 2013 Honda Civic Hybrid started freaking out. Bunch of lights and errors, including the IMA light came on. So we took it to a local mechanic, they concluded that it was just the Hybrid battery failing/in need of replacement. So now we are going to take it mechanic that specializes in hybrids, for about 1.6k vs going to the dealer which quoted almost 4k to fix it.

It will drive even if the hybrid battery is junk. You have to remember the engine is a 1.3l or something like that. Regular civic engines are 1.8l so if you were to remove the hybrid battery you’d have next to no power. You cannot convert it unless you want to do a complete engine/tranny/everything swap.

Hello sir, I bought this 2007 hybrid civic. It had the Ima light on. I found a great battery at a junk yard with 15+ volts on every pair of cells. It came with the inverter ,converter, and fan. I changed it all but it still doesn't charge and it gives me the p0562 code. The car runs fine. Sometimes in first gear it's slow but when it gets going it's a beast. I checked the 12volt battery with the vehicle on and it gives me 13.9 which is good. The scanner tells me all the cells are great but the inverter, converter is not working. Do you have any idea why? I checked all the fuses.

It just depends on how you treat it. If you drive it daily and don’t abuse it, use a grid charger it could easily last over 200k miles. Easy. If you drive it in Arizona in crazy hot temperatures year round it’s going to go bad quicker. You can install an accessory fan to help keep it cool. There’s a lot you can do to help the longevity of the battery life.

I don't see any indications that it is in decline as I did when the first one started to go. Honda did a global software update back around 2012 i think it was to improve life of battery at the expense of using less electric motor assist but i still get 50mpg out of her.

Yes you can, it lacks torque and does effect your MPG by a lot, but still it's operational. Grid charging is a good option for a known condiction battery, as it will help maintain it. But if some cells are bad its just like puting a lipstick on a pig. So firstly check each of your cells, and after that keep them healthy by periodically boosting whole battery pack by the grid charger.

At some point it may die and have a check engine light. Otherwise no
Wat he calles the most diffecult part..is the easiest Part..taking the battery a part is not diffecult..and recharging the modules is a piece of cake..and also the cheapest.

Difficult in that it can take a long time depending on what tools/parts you have.

How do you do it?
Hello, I have a 2008 civic with only the IMA light on and not the engine, what does that mean? Also I only need the car to last me on more year from now and then I really don't care what happens.. what would you recommend I do? Also wanted to know if it dies because I do not have a garage and the snow buried it for a couple of days... was that the problem? The car seems fine till now and it drives normally I'd say

You should be able to drive it for another year just fine. The IMA light isn’t a death omen. It’s only bad if you have to pass emissions because you will fail if the light is on (in most states). Otherwise I have driven cars for years with the ima light on.
Good job!
I got P1568 code?

You need to visually read the "blink codes" by shorting out the SCS pin on the OBDII connector. Here are the possible P1568 codes: 66 Open or Short in battery stack sensing circuitry 67 Battery RTD sensor signal problem 70 Battery PTC sensor signal problem
