The same as a conventional car. They have an alternator connected to the gas powered engine. My hybrid has a special battery and when I bought it I was warned not to jump it or let anyone but the dealership work with it. The car uses the battery in a different way than the normal battery and will switch from gas to battery operation to save gas. It charges while I drive it and as I break.
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...
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.
The alternator is connected to a gas powered engine. This charges the battery.
Some can, some can't. In the system used by Honda if the hybrid battery dies the car will still run fine as an ordinary gasoline powered car, but acceleration will be a little weak. In the system used by Toyota as the transmission is electric if the hybrid battery dies the car can not move.
If you require a hybrid battery repair, then chances are that you probably require a new hybrid battery as well. The entire process of changing a battery within a hybrid vehicle can be quite time consuming and expensive. A full set of batteries for a hybrid car will cost anywhere from $2,500 to $3,500. In addition, there are often fees charged by dealerships to install these batteries for hybrid cars.
