Hi I just subscribed I’ve been a “hot rod girl” all my life buying old cars and fixing them as my daily drivers and I finally realized that with todays economic climate (i drive - lot and I live in SoCal) I neeeded to make a chance so I got my first hybrid - ford escape 2008 and I’m looking to learn as much as I can. I’ve never had to take a car to the shop I’ve always done my own work so I’m looking forward to learning how to maintain my hybrid myself! Thank you for the videos I look forward to learning more.
I have a 2006 Escape HEV. I have a current code of low state of charge. My current SoC is 53%. It seems to run fine and the gas engine will shut down when the battery has a satisfactory charge. Is there a method of “reconditioning” the battery? Thanks! Would you know at what SoC percentage will the car no longer run?
Can a 2011 ford fusion hybrid battery be changed? It was sat for over 2 months when I bought the car it started fine but battery (12volt) was not good so replaced with a new one now it won't start I'm getting a code P1A10 hybrid powertrain control module-battery disable thanks hopefully you can see and answer my question
Hi, Yes the battery can be replaced as well as re-conditioned. it seems to me that after you replaced your 12 V battery, there is a problem with the computer. You should disconnect the 12 V battery for about 8 hours to reset the computer. If that does not work, may be the new 12 V is not proper.
Have you had any experience with Saturn vue hybrid? I bought a used one but it’s completely dead and needs to be recharged but I don’t know how to recharge it and the proper safe way to recharge it
No, we have not seen any Saturn Vue hybrid but they are all the same. Most of the cars habe Toyota Prius packs and you can use a Grid Charger. For further communications, contact us at info@venicehybridtech.com
Hi Brown, yes there is a line under DC, which underlines the word to show that it is DC Voltage. If the voltage is static at 108 V, that means it is not charging. Did you turn the Red power switch to ON(1) position ?????
2007 escape hybrid can you tell me if the battery indicator in the radio shows a full charge when fully charged . Mine only charges to half way on the radio charge indicator. Or does that mean battery degregation of 50% thanks you Al
On 09 later years hybrid Escape and Mazda equivalent, why not just make connectors to plug in the existing factory connector left over from the previous years? Then connect a smart charger directly into the connector. The battery charger can be installed permanently in the empty space on driver side and then make a panel connection to plug into. Anyone selling a smart charger that can maintain the hybrid battery without overheating overcharging?
This is a special charger that goes up to 400 V and is capable of charging the whole battery at the same time. The charger costs $ 350.00 and the shipping is $ 15.00 You have to contact us via email at info@venicehybridtech.com to order it. Thanks.
Hello Venice Hybrid Tech, I have a 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid with the following code: ===BCM DTC P0A7D-60=== Code: P0A7D - Hybrid Battery Pack State of Charge Low. I would like to use your procedure and recharge the battery pack. Can you please let me know what kind of charger you recommend for this? Thank you so much for your help. Gottfried.
I have a 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid that sat for too long and the Hybrid battery is dead. Prior to sitting, the vehicle ran great! I'm having trouble finding any dealer or shop with the battery charger for it down here in San Diego. Are you aware of any shops that have it in San Diego?
I have an o8 as well sat for three weeks. Usually if it sits for a few days I have to jump the 12v. The button never lights up on the charger under dash. Have a new battery today. Still stop safely now.
Hi, the fault is showing that there is a voltage leak or the sensor is faulty. Did you have any water damage etc. to the hybrid battery ????? Contact us at info@venicehybridtech.com
I live in TX but am in Dayton Ohio because I was caring for my Mother who recently passed away. My 2009 Escape Hybrid was parked for a month because my Mom could not be left alone. When we finally transferred my mom to hospice, I discovered that the hybrid battery was dead and in a saga I call "4 tow trucks and a hybrid" was told by the dealership that to replace the battery would be $14,000. I haven't been able to find anyone in the area to work on the car. Does anyone know anyone in the area who could help me with this so I can return to my home in Texas?

I think that if the SOC falls below 50%, it will stop. I do have a video on" How to recondition a FEV." Please watch it.
@@VeniceHybridTech thanks.. I’ll watch your other video.
Thanks for the video. I have a 2009 Hybrid FWD. These are durable my 2011 fusion hybrid has 534000 kms still runs strong
Do you have to charge it often? I'm asking as I have just bought the same car, it has 110,000 km. Thank you

@@VeniceHybridTech do u think the hybrid battery is bad car only has 40k miles on it it just sat for long time with no battery on it (12 v)
@@VeniceHybridTech if it can be charged would it charge the same as the one on this video
@@sanjosecuaro84 Yes the battery goes down, but the sticks inside may still be OK. You need to try to revive the battery as per my videos.
@@sanjosecuaro84 Yes.

what grid charger would i use from your website
Is there supposed to be a line under where it says DC when hooked up properly. My battery is not charging its been at 108 v for a while now
Hi Brown, yes there is a line under DC, which underlines the word to show that it is DC Voltage. If the voltage is static at 108 V, that means it is not charging. Did you turn the Red power switch to ON(1) position ?????
2007 escape hybrid can you tell me if the battery indicator in the radio shows a full charge when fully charged . Mine only charges to half way on the radio charge indicator. Or does that mean battery degregation of 50% thanks you Al
Yes my assesment is that the battery is degraded, otherwise it should get fully charged and the indicator should show it accordingly.
@@VeniceHybridTech Is it like the Prius the cells become imbalanced and won’t fully charge or do you think it needs cells replaced ?

Hi Matt. No I am not aware of any one in San Diego. You should buy your own for about $ 300!!!!!!!!!!
Did you find a shop? I let my 08 sit for 3 weeks. Now not turning on
In SD
You dont mention whether to use standard 12 v charger or some other
Hi, this video is about 2009 Escape Hybrid that does not have a inbuilt charger. But yes, if you have an inbuilt charger, use it for sure.
@@VeniceHybridTech How about if we don't have inbuilt charger? What type of charger we have to use?
@@arnodanesh4905 We have a special charger for Escape Hybrid. Contact info@venicehybridtech.com

Yes, for your vehicle, you definitely need to charge and discharge the battery pack.
I have an o8 as well sat for three weeks. Usually if it sits for a few days I have to jump the 12v. The button never lights up on the charger under dash.
Have a new battery today. Still stop safely now.
