What is a 'core'?
The core is your old, failing hybrid battery. Even though it's not working well enough to power your car, the casing and many of its components are recyclable or remanufacturable.
How the exchange saves you money
When you buy a replacement battery, the price usually assumes you are giving back your old one. If you don't return the core, you'll be charged a significant 'core fee', often $500 to $1,000.
Responsible recycling in Phoenix
Returning your core ensures that the hazardous materials inside the battery are properly recycled or refurbished, keeping them out of Arizona landfills.
