The Ford Escape Hybrid carries two batteries: a standard low-voltage battery and a high-voltage hybrid battery.
The low voltage battery is an ordinary vehicular 12 volt battery used to power the starter motor. It should only be replace with a specific battery from your dealer. i found out this the hard way when AAA came out to replace the battery with a standard one and my car started to have issues. only replace from dealer!!
The high voltage hybrid battery, however, is another matter entirely. Currently, the new battery and the labor to install it into the vehicle's high voltage power bus is approximately $7,000.
Hybrid batteries are designed to function for the life of the car, usually for 150,000 to 200,000 miles before requiring replacement, and battery failures are statistically uncommon. If you believe your battery system is having difficulties, the high-voltage power bus should be run through diagnostics by a Ford dealer to determine the source of any problems. Ford typically guarantees its hybrid batteries for eight years, so your vehicle should fall under the warranty rules for replacement should the need arise. Consult your dealer for more information.
The hybrid can run on alternative fuels, and the regular one cannot. Wrong! What you are describing is the Flex Fuel Escape. The Escape Hybrid is a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) which uses a battery and an electric motor to supplement the power, and therefore the gas mileage of the gas engine.
Yes. The FORD ESCAPE is available as a HYBRID or regular vehicle; not all FORD ESCAPES are HYBRIDS.

The 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid Owners Manual states 1000 lbs. However Ford towing guide does not recommend towing with Hybrid Escape. I believe Ford states that the Hybrid is "capable" of Flat/Neutral tow, yet not recommended for towing. http://www.fordvehicles.com/assets/pdf/towing/08ESP_towing.pdf
