This all depends on which hybrid you purchase but from what i have read most hybrids claim the battery will last the life of the car which is 8-10 years or 100k-150k miles.
"Motor cars are a lot more powerful in terms of speed and fuel life. However, a hybrid car's battery is electrical which makes the car life regenerative."
The battery should last as long as the lifetime of the car according to 2 Hybrid car manufactures, but with the cars not being around for very long, nobody really knows the answer to this question.
The average life expectancy on a hybrid car battery is approximately eight years. Temperature plays a role in how long the battery will last. Extreme high or low temperature will reduce the efficiency and the ability for the battery to hold charges. Extreme temperatures generally result in the Battery Condition Monitor module (BCM) is disabled in order to protect the battery. This can result in lower efficiency and lower life span of the battery.
A regular car is a car than rans on gasoline. But a hybrid car is a car that rans on gasoline and battery.
The difference is that a hybrid car has an engine that can run on gasoline OR the battery. The regular car only runs on gas.
A hybrid car is a car that runs on battery and gas. It uses standard unleaded regular gas.
When the old ones fail.
The Toyota hybrids actually use 2 different batteries:an ordinary 12V car batterya ~200V hybrid system batteryThe 12V battery could be used in another car if it has the same amperage ratings (or greater) of the battery the normal car requires. Check the ratings first.The hybrid system battery cannot be used except in the car it was specifically designed for.
hybrid cars can charge up by battery and fill up with gas.
hybrid cars runs on battery and gas. when you go really fast and use a hybrid car then you stop... you use a whole bunch of the battery... while you are waiting,, the battery charges and then VOULA... theres your charged battery.........sky...
The alternator is connected to a gas powered engine. This charges the battery.
The biggest concern consumers should have when buying a used hybrid car is about the battery. Depending on the hybrid vehicle, batteries have a lifetime between 3 and 10 years, but most batteries deplete much sooner. In addition to the final sale price of a used hybrid car, a consumer may have to pay several thousand more dollars for a battery replacement. It's important to remember that original batteries have a limited warranty which may expire by the time a used hybrid is sold.
