INFORMATION
■ Hybrid battery (traction battery) lifespan (lithium-ion battery)
The hybrid battery (traction battery) has a limited service life.
The hybrid battery (traction battery) capacity (the ability to hold a charge) reduces
with time and use in the same way as other rechargeable batteries. The extent at
which capacity reduces changes drastically depending on the environment (ambient
temperature, etc.) and usage conditions, such as how the vehicle is driven and how the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is charged. This is a natural characteristic of lithium-ion
1-2. Important points for the plug-in hybrid system
