If hybrid battery dies, can I continue to drive the car?

No.

 

I love the honest and direct kind of answers.

Look up the "Greenbean" company. For the love of Pete. Why would you use a car dealer?

 

Because Green beans may not last as long

 

Yeah, well if they don't it will be because they don't know how to or to refuse to charge people for their generally overpriced and incompetent "service." As we all know, the "dealer" service depts are primarily set up to sell stuff at a premium, whether it helps you out with your issues or not. (Blanket statement to be sure, but a reasonable rule of thumb).

Just to be clear too for the recent poster or anyone else who comes along behind, I have no direct experience with greenbean. I learned about them on this site and looked them up in case I might ever need their services. The advantage, for the most recent poster is that they come to you - no need to try to drive a dead car.

 

the battery starts the engine every few seconds/minutes depending on circumstances. you need it all the time. but most failing batteries will still get you to a repair shop, they don't generally die suddenly.
