Will the battery in my hybrid keep going?

With gas prices still relatively high, more and more people are considering hybrid cars. But some readers are wondering how long the batteries in a hybrid vehicle will last. These NiMH batteries generally come with a standard warranty of 8 years or 80,000 miles. In California and several other states, the warranty is required to be 10 years or 100,000 miles. From all indications so far, these batteries have been very reliable.
