So you expect the same durability from this used batteries. this used batteries might be better to fix it and sell the vehicle.but if someone need long last solution i dont think that using a used battery gives us any advantage.

And you should factor in the aditional maintainence and repair costs involved in a hybrid. So its actually not worth using a hybrid But In the days when it was raining aquas and fits they were cheaper to buy than ice cars of the same segment with similar options. Thats why they are popular. But due to increased repair /maintainence costs and battery issues they are not holding on to their value as much as an ice car. So if its not a highly used car its not worth going for a hybrid. And using used batteries is not a good option if yoi intend to keep the car (also if your genuinely going to sell it) . Actually used parts are only good for body parts. Electrical should be bought new and mechanical should be bought new or repaired if you want to enjoy trouble free motoring.

Thanks for the explanation. now i see it. i confused because of this fragment "about 22,000km to recover". Your calculation is the way that hybrid users do math.if i use your figures to formulate this (even though non of them are realistic ): to recover 290,000 rupees from X number of kilometers, X/15 - X/25 = 290,000/130, find X it is 84000 Km, if you had to travel 84000 km using a 15kmpl car, then cost is 728000/= If it is a car with 25kmpl , then cost is 436800/= then you have saved = aporx 290,000/= I think now you can see why i was unable to figure out your calculation.

I have the same car and but I never ever use its Eco mode as I find it makes the car a PITA to drive. Otherwise it is a "reasonable" car. Of course if you are used to driving an ICE car with nippy acceleration perhaps you may find a bit of lack in power.

My 2015 Axio will also struggle to achieve momentum on a relatively steep hill, it's down to how the power is delivered to the wheels. Switching off Eco will help things.

If you want members here to give you "specific" reasons, you need to be specific with your question. Your question is like telling a doctor "I had a chest pain for a while, is there a specific reason for this?" So let's start with 1. What's the mileage of the car? 2. Was the car fully loaded with passengers or did it have a trunk full of stuff? 3. When (how many kilometres ago) was the transmission fluid change was done and an engine tune up was done? 4. Does the car idle properly? Do you experience an engine miss or vibration? 5. Was the car reversed down the hill before it was shifted to D to move forward? 6. How long did the "struggle" last? What did it feel like? Was it that the engine revved but the car didn't move?

No wonder you can't find anything on the forum. Please read carefully.
