Hyundai has just announced that they are going to be the first automaker to offer hybrid lifetime battery replacement guarantees, which will now extend the battery warranty far beyond Hyundai’s 10-year 100,000 mile warranty. The warranty coverage applies to all 2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid models over the entire life expectancy of the vehicle. This warranty assures customers that if the Sonata Hybrid lithium polymer battery fails, Hyundai will cover the replacement of the batter and also the recycling costs associated with the disposal of the old lithium battery.
Hybrid Battery Tests OK over 300,000 Miles
Hyundai has performed tests on the batteries for over 300,000 miles showing very minimal degradation of its output, giving confidence to all owners of new Hyundai Sonata hybrid models.
“The Hyundai brand was built on outstanding quality backed by the industry’s best protection program which we call Hyundai Assurance,” said Michael O’Brien, vice president, Corporate and Product Planning. “Expanding Hyundai Assurance to include Lifetime Battery Replacement Guarantee was another opportunity for us to demonstrate our confidence in the durability of our product, and pass that peace-of-mind on to our owners.”
Hyundai Blue Link Technology
Hyundai, which debuted its Blue Drive technology last year, uses a powerful lithium polymer battery pack to power its Hybrid vehicles and is the first automaker in the world to use this extraordinarily efficient battery technology into their Hybrid fleet of vehicles. The batteries are both cold and heat tolerant, starting a car in temperatures as low as -40 and up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
