Refilling process for a toyota hybrid battery i/o cell replacement

[Buddhikaprem]

Dear All,

Just got to know about a hybrid battery recondition process through refilling process of its cells and get it to workable condition rather doing bad cells replacement for toyotas. It’s being done in Galle with 1 n half year warranty.Do you think its practically possible for hybrid batteries ? Appreciate expert guidance on the same

This should be taken as follows. This is a very basic calculation to better understand the concept. 

New battery cost - Rs. 300,000 |  Usable period - lets say around 6 years | So annual cost for the battery - Rs. 50,000 

If you have to expend (not only money but also the opportunity cost of your time, risk of dismantling, any other operating risks of the process if any should also be considered ) more than Rs. 50,000 to extend the battery life for one year, then it will not be effective.

Usually the electrodes also deteriorate, not only the conductor. Do they also replace that?

Even if a small metal or other particles gets into the conductor, it can cause an internal short circuit/fire ?

Dear Gayanath,

it’s Rs 390,000 for a new battery if we go with ToyotaLanka . Do you recommend  the battery replacement  from other than agent  and  is it possible us to get done for Rs 300,000?Any good places that you can recommend ?

And for this said process, they charge us only Rs 45,000 for Aqua/Axio.so if we consider 1 & half year of  battery duration, still would be worth trying  if the process is really workable and safe without any harm.

Appreciate your thoughts on this?

As far as i got to know from him over the phone, said that it’s only to be refilled the chemical of all cells and  do balance recharging to get. It to workable condition.  Said that it will be up-to  60% level of the battery after this reconditioning process.
