Help on what to do with my Honda hybrid

Asked by GuruZJ3P9 Dec 12, 2017 at 12:21 PM about the 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid FWD

Question type: Car Selling & Trading In

I bought my 2003 Honda hybrid civic in April 2017 and I
didn’t realize right away that the battery light was on
because the check engine light didnt turn on until after I
took the car home after paying for it. After 3,000 miles
right before I was going to do the oil change the car shut
down. So I jump started it and it turned on so I took it to a
mechanic and it turned off right in front of the auto shop.
The mechanic later said I had to take it to a hybrid
specialist because he didn’t know. So I jump started it to
take it back home. I bought a new regular battery
(YouTube video recommended it) and it didn’t seem to
solve anything. Should I sell it? I don’t have the money to
buy a new battery.

Could it be your alternator? Because your car, if the alternator isn't functioning properly, will attempt to run solely on battery power.
