Sometimes customers ask us, “If a hybrid battery dies, can you still drive the car?” The answer is, it depends on which battery died. Fortunately, most hybrid cars have two batteries: the hybrid battery and a much smaller battery to operate the electronics in your vehicle. If the smaller battery dies, it’s not a problem. You can still drive it around Reading. However, if the main hybrid car battery is dead, do not attempt to drive the vehicle and make a service appointment at Springfield Mitsubishi - Reading immediately.
