To extend the life of the hybrid battery:

Regularly Clean the Battery Cooling Fan: The cooling fan that ventilates the hybrid battery can get clogged with dust and debris, causing the battery to overheat. Clean it periodically.
Monitor Battery Voltage: During servicing o r diagnostics, check the voltage of the hybrid battery and ensure all cells are balanced.
Hybrid System Diagnostics: Have regular checks of the hybrid system to ensure the battery, inverter, and related components are functioning optimally.
Avoid Deep Discharges: Don’t let the hybrid battery get too low on charge before recharging. Try to keep it in a balanced state.
