Thanthan Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Hello everyone! I am considering purchasing a 2015 c-max hybrid. It has 130,224 miles on the odometer. It’s comfortable to drive and I’m really excited about it. But I am not familiar with Hybrid Batteries. What is the C-Max battery like? Is there much life left in a 9 year old battery? How much money would it take to repair one? Has anyone replaced these batteries and at what mileage did they fail? Thank you for reading this and I look forward to reading your advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowStorm Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Our 2013 hybrid (not Energi) is past 246k miles and is doing fine. There are others with similar mileage and no problems. I expect to keep it another 10 years - although it won't get a lot of extra miles. The HVB (high voltage battery) is simply not a problem in these cars. cr08 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam1991 Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 Prior to my 2016 that I picked up 3 months ago, I had a 2007 Prius bought new. At 200K miles, in Oct. 2021, it finally threw an error on the HVB--one of the cells was not good. So yeah, that was 14 years and 200K miles of life. Fortunately, the industry has solved that whole problem--18 hours later I had a new battery installed with lifetime warranty. Too bad the C-Max isn't a more popular car, otherwise it might have similar aftermarket support. But it isn't, and it doesn't. When the battery goes, it's Ford dealer or nothing as a practical matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
