And most use battery power to propel or help propel the vehicle. And did you know? Some hybrid cars come with a traditional 12-volt battery along with a high-voltage battery.

Isolation test: During this test, the technician will use a special tool to check for any high voltage components that are "leaking" electric energy to the chassis.

Remove and replace hybrid electric battery: Is your Honda Insight's high voltage battery not as strong as it once was? Let us install a new one.
