Hybrid Batteries Can Be Affected by High Temperatures

The high-voltage batteries in the 2000-06 Insight, the 2003-09 Civic Hybrid, and the 2005-07 Accord Hybrid can be affected and damaged by excessively high temperatures. The temperature in some body shop paint booths can exceed 150° F. Therefore, during refinishing operations, the paint booth temperature must be set at or below 150° F.





As a reminder, every Honda Hybrid has a sticker on the driver's door stating the maximum temperature.
