The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act requires manufacturers to supply replacement parts while the warranty is in effect. For a hybrid batter that is 10 years.

However, they don't have to make them economical. A replacement battery for my Spark is $22,000. I'm betting they made one, set it on the shelf, and have fulfilled the legal requirement. It seems priced to guarantee that nobody will buy one.
