FAQ – Sodium-Ion Hybrid Battery

1) What is a sodium-ion hybrid battery?

A sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery is an alternative to traditional nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) packs used in many hybrids. It uses sodium-based chemistry and modules designed to integrate with compatible hybrid vehicles.

Key characteristics (general):

  • Uses sodium-ion cells (no NiMH potassium hydroxide electrolyte).

  • Designed for high power delivery suitable for hybrid assist/regen use.

  • Engineered to fit specific vehicle applications (see compatibility).

Note: Chemistry and pack architecture differ from OEM NiMH. Always confirm fitment and follow installation guidance.

2) Are these new or refurbished?

Our sodium-ion battery listings offer new replacement modules. Match the listed vehicle application and battery configuration when choosing your product.

3) Is my vehicle compatible?

Sodium-ion module kits are available for select Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, and GM hybrids.
Start with our make, model and year fitment guide, then check the exact application and battery configuration on the product page or contact us with your model and year at tech@mynewbattery.com or (435) 669-0020.

4) Do I need to be a professional to install this?

Professional installation is recommended. Many experienced DIY owners have completed installs using standard tools and our instructions, but:

  • Hybrids contain high-voltage systems that can cause serious injury if mishandled.

  • Follow all OEM and product safety procedures, including PPE, lockout/tagout, and torque specs.

  • We can assist with installer referrals where available.

5) How long will the battery last?

Battery service life varies with vehicle condition, use, installation and environment. Review the warranty options offered on the product page.

6) What warranty is included?

Eligible hybrid battery packs include a 2-Year Limited Warranty (unlimited miles) covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. For optional extended coverage, see our Platinum 10-Year plan.
Please review the full terms, exclusions, and claim process on our Warranty page.

7) Why haven’t I heard of sodium-ion before?

Sodium-ion describes the chemistry used in these replacement modules. Visit the product listing for the application and available warranty options.

8) Is this battery safe?

Hybrid batteries require proper handling. Follow the product instructions and vehicle service procedures.

  • Follow the SDS, installation manual, and OEM safety procedures.

  • Ensure pack cooling paths/fans are clean and operational.

  • Dispose/recycle per local regulations—do not incinerate or puncture cells.

9) Do I need to return my old battery?

No core return is required for sodium-ion module kits that reuse your original case/enclosure. You may keep your original modules or recycle them locally. We can provide recycling guidance on request.
