What size battery is found in a hybrid electric vehicle?

The batteries found in electric cars are pretty massive, but since a hybrid has both an engine and a motor, what size battery would you find in a hybrid electric vehicle?

That’s a keen observation. You would find a 12-volt lead-acid battery in a hybrid electric vehicle.
The battery in a
hybrid
electric car is designed to fully power the car for distances between 10-40 miles.
The reinforcement of the engine allows the battery found in a hybrid vehicle to be smaller than the battery found in an EV. Fully electric cars run exclusively on the energy stored in the battery and are expected to travel for longer ranges on a full battery charge.
