My first hybrid is this car is a bit foreign to me.
My car's battery is completely dead. I charged it for 5 minutes with my truck, and it turns on; so I drove it around for another 5 minutes around the neighborhood. But I feel the car was driving on electricity; not gas. So I wasn't sure if the alternator is turning and charging the battery. Then after parking the car for an hour, the car's battery is gone again.
How can I bring a hybrid car's battery back to life? Can I force the gas engine to run?
