    Hi am in the process of trying to recondition my gen 3 hybrid battery! I have gone through the process of discharging and charging! Am finding that some cells after 3 cycles are only holding 02750 mah do these need discarding and replacing? What is the minimum ah i can get away in the hybrid battery for each cell
    Thanks

    Is it not under warranty still? I thought all Gen 3 had a 8 year unlimited mileage.

    Some of us have a 10 year/150000 mile warranty. I have no idea what the UK warranty is.

    GrumpyCabbie has posted details of the UK warranty, IIRC it is indeed unlimited miles if annual battery health checks for 39 UKP are undertaken. Best not to mess with that warranty by playing around with reconditioning.
