Traditional hybrid models utilize both a conventional battery and a hybrid battery that powers the hybrid powertrain system. While the conventional battery will set you back the same as a conventional battery in any traditional vehicle, the sticker price of a hybrid battery can be a bit of a shock if you don?t know what to expect. Hybrid vehicles need both batteries to function. So, unfortunately, when the hybrid battery dies it will need quick replacement in order for the vehicle to run.

The good news is that Toyota hybrid batteries in models like the Prius and Camry Hybrid were built to last and should reliably get you from point A to point B for many years before needing replacement.

How long should Toyota hybrid batteries last?

The lifespan of a hybrid battery is dependent on a variety of factors including the make and model of your vehicle, driving conditions, maintenance and care, and more. In general, people can expect their hybrid batteries to last somewhere between 5-10 years though some Toyota drivers have reported longer lifespans. If you are concerned about your Toyota hybrid battery, a technician at your local Toyota service center should be able to perform diagnostic tests to determine its current health.
