How do I test a Honda Civic Hybrid battery?
I bought a Civic Hybrid so I wouldn’t have to worry about battery life. But all of a sudden, it seems like the battery isn’t working or it struggles to start the engine. How do I test the battery on a Honda Civic Hybrid?

If you’ve ever noticed your miles per gallon (mpg) has gone down, your battery may be to blame. But unlike a straight gas combustion engine, a
hybrid vehicle
has a different battery.To test the Honda Civic Hybrid battery, follow these steps:
- Shut the vehicle off.
- Disconnect the negative terminal for 10 seconds or more.
- Turn the vehicle on and let it charge.
- Watch the battery charge on the left side of the instrument cluster.
- The battery should charge up to eight bars, which means it’s full.
If that doesn’t work, you may have to purchase a new battery. To offset the cost of a new battery, save cash by getting the best rate on your auto insurance with the Jerry app.
