Coverage at a glance

2025 model year

ItemAnswer
What is coveredThe High Voltage Battery Warranty covers defects related to material or workmanship to the battery pack and its internal components
Term8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first
Capacity floor75% of the battery's original value
Who decidesA certified dealer determines whether capacity has fallen below the floor; an authorized Honda dealer determines the battery's state of health and whether degradation is within the expected range
Range as evidenceThe vehicle's range estimates are an imperfect measure of battery capacity, and the measurement method is at Honda's sole discretion
Repair standardRepair, or replacement with a new, reconditioned or re-manufactured part, at Honda's sole discretion. Honda sets the replacement battery's energy capacity at least equal to the original's before the failure occurred, taking into consideration other factors including the age and mileage of the vehicle
What a replacement must reachA condition sufficient to achieve or exceed the minimum battery capacity for the remainder of the original battery's warranty period. Honda states the replacement may not restore the vehicle to a "like new" condition
Clock startsThe date the vehicle is put into use: delivered to the first purchaser by an authorized Honda dealer, leased, or used as a demonstrator or company vehicle
Who can claimThe owner or lessee of a 2025 Honda automobile
Warranty territoryThe 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C.
Alongside itThe New Vehicle Limited Warranty covers every new Honda, including the 12-volt battery, for 3 years or 36,000 miles

What is not covered

Honda excludes from the High Voltage Battery Warranty:

  • Damaging the battery, or intentionally attempting — by physical means, programming, or other methods — to extend the life of the battery by means other than those the owner manual and Honda's own documentation specify, or to reduce its life.
  • Exposing the battery to direct flame.
  • Flooding the battery.
  • Gradual energy or power loss with time and use, and loss resulting from battery usage, except to the extent the High Voltage Battery Warranty specifies.
  • Noticeable changes in battery performance caused by the vehicle's wireless software updates.

Failure to follow Honda's recommended battery maintenance and charging procedures voids the High Voltage Battery Warranty.

The booklet's general exclusions reach the battery too:

  • Improper charging procedures.
  • A vehicle registered or normally driven outside the Warranty Territory.
  • A vehicle ever declared a total loss, sold for salvage by a financial institution or insurer, or issued a salvage or similar title under any state's law.
  • A vehicle whose odometer has been altered so the actual mileage cannot be determined.

Scope note

US retail Prologues, model years 2024 through 2026. Honda writes one warranty booklet per model year for its battery-electric vehicles rather than one per model, and the 2025 edition is the one read here — it scopes itself twice to a 2025 Honda automobile, so this sheet states 2025 terms only, exclusions included. The 2024 and 2026 battery-electric editions are absent from Honda's owner-document host, and the booklet delivered with a specific car is the authority for that car.
