Suzuki Wagon-R 2015 Hybrid Battery failure

Recommended Posts

Suzuku Wagon R, 2015 - MH44S model is identified with a hybrid battery issue.  In the Dashboard hybrid system indicator on right side,  battery charging arrow (from wheels to battery) do  not pop up during deceleration. When the batter was checked with Hybrid repair professionals, they said battery has dead.  

I don't think time of the battery is up by now. Still less than 3 years of use.  It claim Rs. 150,000/= for the replacement and again not sure whether those are genuine or not.  

What are the possible reasons for premature hybrid battery failure ? Any users of Wagon-R here.

better get it checked elsewhere for a second opinion, agents A*W may be able to help as they do bring down the same model.

Could be a busted relay or sensor, batteries do not die suddenly.

Rs. 150K seems too high for a mild hybrid battery as this is the price of a Prius batter (used)

Do you get A Light indicator blinking continueosly ? Hybrid battery issues start with incorrect Jump starting, it seems. In anycase, you can find a replacement battery much cheaper than 150k.  I am also having the issue but vehicle can be used as long as Hybrid battery power remains.

Can you please elaborate what the A sign indicator flashing means?

I spoke to this gentleman on the phone a few months back

Was a helpful and genuine person 

Took almost 30min of his time to explain how the system works and what to look for and what to stay away from. Told me Not to even bring the vehicle to him.  Not the typical money oriented people you see in the trade nowadays.

Highly recommended!

is there a possibility that you could share those points in here. i think there's a good wagon r review in youtube which explains how the system works but none explains the "what to look for and what to stay away from" part.

thanks

Thank You for all the information. Finally it is replaced with a reconditioned battery with a six months warranty.  Before that car was running without the hybrid battery for a while and it ruined the regular battery as well.  

As you aware s-ene charging system draw the power from hybrid battery during the pick up. If hybrid battery is dead, system draw the power from regular battery (though  I was not expecting) . which exhaust the regular battery and  ending it soon.

Wishing All of you a Very Happy New Year with Good Health, Wealth and Happiness. !!
