Although hybrid batteries were intended to last the lifetime of the vehicle, some battery packs are losing power and performance earlier than their owners would like. Tell-tale signs include low energy, reduced torque, quick loss of battery charge, limited performance and significantly lower gas mileage.
Keep in mind: The symptoms of a faulty starter are similar to that of a dead battery. Without the power from the battery, the starter cannot get the engine in motion. In order to determine if the problem is the battery or starter, test the lights, radio, and horn. If they do not work, a dead battery is likely. If they work, it is more likely a problem with the starter.
