Battery OEM Honda or OEM Volvo

I still get my batteries from the dealership because they last the longest and cost the least, for some reason.

I\u2019ve owned an S60 T8 for 2 and a half years now. Like others have said Volvo PHEVs deplete the battery first by default before touching the gas engine.

I have been driving a 2023 S60 Recharge for 2 years now. If someone told you it's bad to drive them with the battery depleted, they lied to you.

Depending on the year/model of the car you might need to have the battery "registered" using a special tool after installing it.

Just do it yourself or find an independent shop.

I drive a 2019 CRV and was thinking about a new battery, doing research man it seems like today's batteries don't last, I figured i got 6 yrs with a Honda so I stuck with their brand

Currently, a bit over 3 grand (labour included), at least for the Civic/Accord Hybrids.

Paid charging is problematic mainly because the T8 charges so slow. You'd have to leave your car at a charger for like 5.5 hours to fill the battery.

3 yrs on a Honda battery had me smh honestly.

I had an Volvo XC90 hybrid. The car is ok, but the battery/motor part is garbage. It has a 10kwh battery, but can only drive for 18 miles on battery, the energy efficiency is way low than my model X.
