The site presents the business as one of the most reviewed battery services in Canada, citing ratings of 5.0 from 312 reviews, 5.0 from 2 reviews and 4.7 from 24 reviews, attributed to Google, Facebook and Trustindex.

Hybrid battery range and pricing shown in the catalogue

The hybrid catalogue is organised by manufacturer and model year, and covers a broad set of makes: Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Chrysler, Dodge, Lincoln, Buick, Saturn, Mercury and Acura. Listings include the Prius family, Camry, Highlander, RAV4, Corolla, Tundra, Avalon, C-HR, Alphard, Crown and Estima, alongside Lexus RX, GS, ES, NX, UX, CT, HS and LS variants, Honda Accord, Civic, Insight and CR-Z, Hyundai Sonata, Ioniq, Kona and Tucson, Kia Optima and Niro, Nissan Altima and Pathfinder, Ford Escape, Fusion, C-Max, Explorer and Maverick, and Chevrolet Malibu, Silverado, Volt, Impala and Tahoe, among others. Plug-in hybrid packs are listed separately for the Prius, Prius Prime, Sonata, Optima, C-Max Energi, Fusion and Volt.

A sale section listed at the time of writing includes a Toyota Prius C battery at $799, a Toyota Prius V at $899, a Ford Escape at $799 and a Nissan Altima at $799, each with a one-year warranty. The company also advertises free installation on all orders.

EV battery repair and capacity upgrades

For electric vehicles, iHybrid Battery offers diagnostics, repair, replacement and capacity upgrades for the Nissan Leaf, Ford Focus Electric, Kia Soul EV and Tesla. The catalogue describes a Kia Soul EV upgrade from 23 kWh to 28 kWh and a Ford Focus upgrade from 23 kWh to 33 kWh, both aimed at extending driving range, and a Nissan Leaf 24 kWh option priced at $2,499.

Tesla work is presented as repair rather than full pack replacement, with the service starting from $3,000. For the Nissan Leaf, the company positions its tested packs as an affordable alternative to a complete OEM replacement that restores much of the original range and performance. The business also buys EVs and hybrid cars and purchases used hybrid batteries.

Warranty terms and service conditions

New hybrid batteries carry a three-year warranty and refurbished batteries one year, with the site also referring to a warranty extension of up to three years on refurbished units. If a battery fails within the warranty period, the company states that it will repair it at no cost, that warranty service is available at its Surrey location, and that a warranty nearing expiry is extended by three months. Warranty tracking is handled through the customer's phone number.

Payment can be made by credit card, debit card, e-transfer or cash, and an invoice is issued for every transaction. GST and PST are charged as applicable and are described as non-negotiable under government regulations.

Diagnostics and customer feedback

Free diagnostics are offered alongside battery replacement, and the site invites owners to request a service quote through a form. Published testimonials describe work on a Tesla Model 3 Long Range, a Tesla Model 3, a BMW X5 40e whose dealer quote exceeded $30,000, and a Ford Mustang Mach-E diagnostic. One reviewer reported paying $700 for a refurbished hybrid battery against a dealer quote of $3,800 for a new one, both including installation. These accounts reflect individual customer experiences rather than verified performance figures.
