Hybrid Battery and Warranty
The hybrid battery is one of the most important parts of a used hybrid car. Many hybrid batteries last for many years, but warranty status and service history are important.
Before buying, ask:
- Is the hybrid battery still under warranty?
- Has the car had regular hybrid servicing?
- Is there a battery health check?
- Are there any hybrid warning lights?
- Has the car been serviced by a main dealer or specialist?

Do not assume every hybrid has the same warranty. Battery coverage varies by brand, age, mileage and service history.

Self-Charging Hybrid or Plug-In Hybrid?
Most used hybrids in Ireland are self-charging hybrids, but plug-in hybrids are also available.
Self-Charging Hybrid
A self-charging hybrid does not need to be plugged in. It charges its battery while driving and through regenerative braking. This makes it convenient for drivers who do not have home charging.
Search here: Self-charging hybrid cars
Plug-In Hybrid
A plug-in hybrid can be charged externally and may drive short distances on electric power. It can be very economical if charged regularly, but it may not deliver the same savings if used without charging.
