摘要

How long does a hybrid battery actually last? That's one of the most frequently asked questions by fleet managers who are considering hybrid vehicles for the first time. Even though manufacturers routinely keep hybrid batteries under warranty for 100,000 miles, stories on the Internet and in the media often hint that the batteries may have to be replaced much earlier than that. NAFA's informal research shows, however, that the life of a hybrid battery should be among the least of your concerns when you're considering a hybrid vehicle.
