Default 08 HCH Battery

I have someconcerns regarding my -08 hch. I have 125 k and the battery is depleting. I am concerned about the cost to replace and debating if I should just work on getting a new car. Purchased in PA and I drive 600+ miles weekly

Check the alternator, if it is putting out lower voltage than normal, it will be much cheaper to replace than the whole car.

New car for sure not worth the investment, you are looking at least 3-4k to replace it, hybrids don't have alternators FYI haha
