Default IMA & Mountain Driving

Haven't tried it yet, but am curious...what happens to the battery system when going up very long grades. Driving over passes in Washington involves uphill grades for many miles. In watching the assist for my normal commute and driving up the I5 corridor, it looks like a very long grade would exhaust the IMA battery. What happens then? Anybody have experience pulling very long grades?

Thanks,

Will
