Main Menu Show Table of Contents If the charging system indicator comes on brightly when the engine is running, the 12 volt battery is not being charged. Immediately turn off all electrical accessories. Try not to use other electrically operated controls such as the power windows and rear window defogger. Keep the engine running; starting the engine will discharge the battery rapidly. Go to a service station or garage where you can get technical assistance. If the Auto Idle Stop is active for an extended period, the charging system indicator may come on. If it happens, start the engine. The charging system indicator may also come on if the Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) battery charge drops below a desired level and the engine starts to recharge the battery. This indicator may blink after you start the vehicle in the morning when the temperature is below °F ( 30°C). It will stop blinking when the IMA battery warms up. 20 189 If ever two automotive concepts were made to come together, the Honda Civic and hybrid technology are it -- a perfect match. Honda built the first Civic in 1972 to compete with the growing number of American subcompact cars that were designed and built in response to the growing concern of increasing gas prices. The first generation Civic managed between 40 and 45 miles per gallon (17 and 19.1 kilometers per liter) depending on driving conditions. Over the next 20 years, Honda built a reputation as a fuel-efficient auto manufacturer. Every vehicle featured small, high-revving engines that were extremely efficient and reliable. It's a reputation that continues to hold true today. To date, Honda has maintained its commitment to small engines. No production vehicle including those built domestically or in Japan feature an engine with more than six cylinders and a displacement over 4.0 liters. When Honda decided to merge its hybrid technology into an existing passenger car, the obvious choice was the Civic. In 2004, Honda made the leap. By taking a standard Civic and mating it with its IMA system, Honda created an even more fuel-efficient vehicle. If you were to pull the engines out of both a standard Civic and a Honda Civic Hybrid and place them next to each other, you would likely notice the similarities end with the flywheel assemblies. Instead of a flywheel, the hybrid Civic has an electric motor mounted on the end of the crankshaft. It's this motor that makes up the electric component of the hybrid system. The motor is constructed of high-density coil windings and high-performance magnets. The electric motor doubles as a starter motor and is used to provided propulsion and assist under several driving conditions. The trick to how the IMA and similar hybrid systems work is the relationship between the electric motor and the engine. Honda's IMA system substitutes the engine's internal combustion power for electric power under certain circumstances. We'll let you know what those specific driving conditions are on an upcoming page. But for now, it's good to know that the energy for the electric motor comes from a nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery. The battery is charged under deceleration, particularly braking. The Civic Hybrid has a regenerative braking system that works to transform the electric motor into an electric generator under braking. This energy is then stored in the battery for future use. Up next, we'll get to the nuts and bolts of the Civic's hybrid engine. C10.
At idle, your car does not produce enough power to charge your 12V battery. There is a reserve, so you just need to avoid leaving it at idle for a long time. If you are stuck at a train crossing, turn the car off. How does a Honda Civic Hybrid charge?There is no need to plug them in, so you'll never have to worry about finding or installing a charging station. Hybrids also recharge themselves through a process called regenerative braking. The car's kinetic energy — that would otherwise be lost — charges the battery.
How does a Honda hybrid battery charge?How do hybrid cars charge? In a standard hybrid car, the internal combustion engine drives a generator which recharges the battery as you drive. The battery is also charged using regenerative braking, which captures waste energy as the car slows down. These cars are sometimes called 'self-charging hybrids'.
Do Honda Civic hybrids have alternators?Your car does not have an alternator. Instead, it has what's called a DC-DC converter. It takes high voltage DC from the car's hybrid system and uses it run the car and charge the 12 volt battery.
Does a 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid have an alternator?The 2005 civic hybrid does not have a separate alternator for the 12 volt system It uses converted electricity from the electric motor to charge the starting battery and run 12 volt components. Also if the Hybrid electrical system fails or is compromised the vehicle will not run.
