ENGLISH VERSION
🔋 Common Mild Hybrid Failure – Hidden Costs Behind the “Green” Badge 🔋
We’ve written about this before, but it’s time to repeat it – the issues with Mild Hybrid systems continue to surface, exposing poor engineering hidden behind a “sustainable” label.
This time, it’s not the infamous €2,000 alternator that fails every summer due to poor thermal management and 90°C glycol cooling. No – today, it’s the return of the 48V battery failure.
If you’ve ever heard the line: “It was working when I parked, not my problem” – you’re not alone. In many cases, while technicians wait for parts or work on the combustion engine side of the vehicle, the hybrid battery silently discharges itself. The system is designed so that when the 12V supply is disconnected, the 48V battery enters a “scrap mode” – deep self-discharge, rendering itself permanently locked. This isn’t just poor design; it’s systemic exploitation.
Even though the lithium cells are still at a safe 3.3V and completely functional, they are declared unusable, destined for the shredder – wasting resources, electricity, and adding unnecessary replacement costs.
We’ve seen similar designs in other European manufacturers – Mercedes included. The result? Independent repair shops are forced to absorb the blame and the financial burden for a defect caused by poor OEM design.
You don’t need to sell narcotics to turn a profit – just engineer a subscription-like trap disguised as advanced technology. Slap on a “Hybrid” or “Clean Diesel” badge, and the customer becomes a lifetime subscriber to their own car.
As always, mainstream media stays silent on these issues. Real information comes only after it’s too late.
👉 Our advice? Either go fully electric or stick to a well-built internal combustion engine. Mild hybrid? High risk, low reward.
HRVATSKA VERZIJA
🔋 Česta greška kod Mild Hybrida – Skriveni troškovi iza “zelene” etikete 🔋
Već smo pisali o ovome, ali očito moramo ponovo – problemi s Mild Hybrid sustavima i dalje izlaze na vidjelo, otkrivajući lošu tehniku maskiranu kao “održiva” rješenja.
Ovaj put nije riječ o čuvenom alternatoru od 2000 eura koji redovno otkaže svako ljeto zbog lošeg hlađenja glikolom na 90 stupnjeva. Sada je opet u igri 48V akumulator.
Ako ste ikada čuli rečenicu: “Radilo je kad sam parkirao, mene to ne zanima” – niste jedini. U mnogim slučajevima, dok se čekaju dijelovi ili se sanira kvar na motoru s unutarnjim izgaranjem, hibridna baterija se sama isprazni. Sustav je dizajniran tako da u trenutku kad nema napona na 12V sustavu, 48V baterija ulazi u tzv. “AUTOOTPAD” način rada – duboko samopražnjenje koje ju trajno zaključa. Nije riječ o grešci – to je planski izveden mehanizam.
Iako su litijeve ćelije još na sigurnih 3.3V i tehnički potpuno ispravne, sustav ih zaključava i proglašava neupotrebljivima. Rezultat: drobilica, reciklaža, novi troškovi, nepotrebno trošenje energije i resursa.
Slični slučajevi viđeni su i kod drugih proizvođača iz europske “ergele” – uključujući i Mercedes. A posljedice? Nezavisni serviseri snose odgovornost i trošak za neispravnosti koje su rezultat tvornički lošeg dizajna.
Ne trebaš dilati da bi zaradio – dovoljno je osmisliti sustav gdje kupac misli da je nešto kupio, a zapravo je postao pretplatnik na vlastiti automobil. Zalijepiš etiketu “Hybrid” ili “Clean Diesel” – i budućnost je osigurana.
Mainstream mediji ovakve teme uglavnom izbjegavaju. Kupac sazna istinu tek kad je već kasno.
👉 Naš savjet? Ili pravo električno vozilo ili dobar motor s unutarnjim izgaranjem. Mild hybrid? Previše rizika, premalo koristi.
