    2003 honda civic hybrid red battery light on.
    I have a 2003 civic hybrid. I changed the IMA battery 6 weeks ago. Car ran great until 5 days ago when the red battery light came on. I will drive the car with red light on. The headlights become weak. The controls begin to fail, then the car dies. I will wait 20-30 minutes then the car will start up again. No lugging on the battery at start up. I can drive car fine until the problem happens again. This sometimes happens after one , sometimes after 5 miles. This is a reoccurring problem. Please advise. Thank you

    Begin by having the starting/charging system inpected and tested. What you've described sounds like the cranking battery is not being properly recharged and you are actually running the car directly off the battery until it doesn't have enough to continue resulting in shutting things down until the battery recovers, only to deplete it again.
