The battery in mine is 6-7 years old, and still provides excellent assist. I can get low-level assist for the better part of 15 minutes, and on a drive last night I used mostly full assist over a 7 mile / 2000ft ascent of a small mountain around here, and it took almost 20 miles of low-level regen to top it back off again.
Don't mind Balto; he bough an Insight with a weak / bad battery, and now complains about hybrid batteries. Heat is what kills them, and I don't think you'll have much of a problem with that in the northwest.
