Infinitev encourages you to embrace Hybrid and EV Battery Replacements

The automotive landscape in Australia is rapidly evolving with more than 640,000 hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs) registered across the country.
This number is set to increase significantly, presenting a prime opportunity for automotive workshops to expand their services to include hybrid and EV battery replacements.
Infinitev says it is here to support your business in navigating this growing market.

The need for specialised diagnosis
Hybrid vehicles combine internal combustion engines and high-voltage battery systems, requiring specialised diagnostic procedures. But it’s not as scary as it sounds, says Infinitev.
“Most of our technician partners are surprised by how easy it is to work on hybrid batteries,” Infinitev Executive General Manager, Bart Moonen, said.
“Safety is of course important, but once mechanics are aware of what’s involved, the actual job is simple, and they already have most of the tools they need.
“Plus, we’ve got tech support on call – these are people who’ve had their heads under bonnets for some time, so they really know how to help.”

Effective diagnostic processes and tools
Accurate diagnosis of hybrid and EV battery issues requires specialised expertise and procedures. Key steps include:

1. Scanning diagnostic trouble codes: understanding how the codes relate to each is important here. Not every battery fault code is a battery failure.
2. Voltage assessment: Infinitev’s battery stress test procedure measures cell block voltages. An unbalanced battery, where the voltage difference between the lowest and highest block exceeds 0.5V is prone to failure.
3. Temperature monitoring: batteries don’t like heat. A noisier-than-usual fan can be a clue that the battery is not cooling enough. And cleaning a fan should be part of your regular service that you charge for.

Partnering for success
By partnering with Infinitev, Bart says you can gain access to quality high-voltage batteries and ongoing tech support to seamlessly integrate battery replacements into your service offering.
“Infinitev is dedicated to empowering workshops across Australia with the knowledge and tools they need to service the growing hybrid and EV market,” Bart said.
“Our goal is to help businesses not only keep up with industry changes but to thrive in them.”
Since 2015, Infinitev explains it has been crafting cutting-edge hybrid replacement batteries in Melbourne, ensuring reliability and short lead times.
Backed by an industry-leading three-year warranty, Infinitev says its batteries are a testament to their quality and durability.
