How long do the batteries in a Honda Insight last?

The batteries in a Honda Insight can last for up to 8 years with proper maintenance and regular use. However, with proper maintenance, a Honda Insight can last for more than 250,000 miles, which is equivalent to around 16 years if you average around 15,000 miles annually. It’s important to note that the battery comes with a 10-year/150,000-mile warranty from the factory. Honda Insight owners recommend keeping up with routine maintenance and avoiding leaving the car sitting for long periods, as it can damage the battery and shorten its life. Additionally, using and charging the battery regularly, performing all maintenance activities on schedule, and avoiding rough driving can improve the longevity of the battery.
It’s worth mentioning that the battery pack of the Honda Insight is made up of 20 individual subpacks comprised of six industrial-grade D cell batteries per subpack, connected in series. If the battery needs to be replaced, aftermarket suppliers like Bumblebee Batteries can completely replace the battery’s subpacks with all new cells, ensuring high-quality, brand-new cells that should last the rest of the vehicle’s lifespan.
Overall, the lifespan of the batteries in a Honda Insight can vary depending on factors such as maintenance, usage, and driving habits. With proper care, the batteries can last for several years and hundreds of thousands of miles.
