The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid employs a high-voltage hybrid battery pack designed for regenerative braking and electric-assist, plus a 12‑volt auxiliary battery for conventional electrical systems. Each battery serves a unique role and requires specific diagnostic routines and handling. Our dealership technicians are factory-trained to recognize chemical and electrical signatures unique to hybrid systems, and we use OEM-grade testing equipment to verify state-of-health accurately. Choosing the correct OEM replacement battery or approved equivalent preserves expected performance characteristics, prevents charging system issues, and avoids costly downstream damage to power electronics or control modules. For Hybrids, incorrect chemistry or improper installation can impair regenerative braking or degrade fuel economy—so precision matters. Our parts department matches VIN-based specifications and sources only manufacturer-recommended batteries.
