If you received a jump start and the car started, my guess is the starting battery is weak and
needs replacing. Driving the vehicle across town once started is not enough to fully charge
up an old battery, or it is so old it won't hold a charge. If you haven't replaced your battery
since owning it, you are due. I always replace mine after I buy a used car since I don't know
how old it is. Batteries last on average 5 years. The battery I am referring to is the one that
starts your car, not the Hybrid batteries. Any decent auto parts store can test your battery
for free, remove it and take it over to them and bring back a new one.
