How many miles are on your Civic hybrid? I have an '03 also, bought about a year and a half ago. At around 86,000 miles my IMA light came on, and the code in the computer indicated battery overheating. The battery also seems to have fairly limited capacity, although I can't say how much worse than when it was new since I bought it used. I took it to the local Honda dealer just to see what they would say, since the IMA components are warrantied for 80,000 miles. The service rep told me that if the code comes back than it would be very likely that Honda would be willing to work with me on the replacement cost of the battery. He seemed to suggest that I could expect to pay half or possibly less of the going rate for battery replacement. I doubt he would say that if he didn't think that it is very likely Honda would be willing to do this. I would start by talking to your local Honda dealer or dealers depending on your location.
Just out of curiosity how many miles on your Civic? And can you describe in detail how your battery is performing as of now?
