Default Re: Dead Battery Experience

Wow! I've killed the battery a few times in my HCH and it was really easy to revive. And the car recharged just fine in Park. I always wondered what would happen to full-hybrids with dead batteries. The HCH is on the high end of mild-hybrid but isn't quite a full-hybrid, so the car can still launch on gasoline ICE alone.

.

Hope is like a candle held against the night.
