The hybrid has a computer system that maintains the battery charge at 30% to 100% of capacity. So as the batteried deteriate their still have about 50% of working capacity. The hybrid doesn't use much of the battery, in city driving, the biggest fuel savings comes from turing the gasoline engine off at stops.
