Why You Need to Replace Your Toyota Crown Hybrid Battery

There are a few reasons why you may need to replace your Toyota Crown hybrid battery. Over time, the battery's capacity may decrease, reducing its ability to hold a charge and affecting the performance of your vehicle. In Australia, all Toyota Crown Hybrids are imported used vehicles. These so-called grey imports tend to spend several months idle time between auction houses, shipping docks, and their new owners in Australia. There are two things batteries don't like. One is heat, the other is not being used. The time it takes for hybrid Crowns to find a new home can at times be too much for the battery to bear, resulting in degradation of performance.

In rare cases, the battery may also suffer from physical damage, such as punctures or leaks. If you experience any of these issues, it's time to replace your battery.
