No real set time, I’ve seen them go as soon as 5 years while others are still running on the factory orginals.

Depends on what kind of battery ( $$$$ ) and how it has been maintained . Each time it's drained for whatever reason it takes a little bit of life out of it . You can buy a 2 year battery or spend twice as much on an interstate battery .
Suggest you check the Owners Manual and attached Documents in the Glove Box. Used to be 10/10. 10 years or 100,000 miles.
I wouldn't buy a 9 year old hybrid. It's right in the window for the battery, the big battery, to quit. They're very expensive to replace and not a job for the do it yourselfer! Hope that helps! Jim
My treatise on Electric Car BATTERIES. All batteries come out of the factory the same, but better manufacturers buy better batteries, so Tesla & Toyota batteries will last longer than Ford or Nissan, it's how they're treated that can make the difference whether they last five years or twenty-five years. Fast charging, like thirty minutes to reach 80%, generates a LOT of heat and that kills a battery quickly. Slow charging, like at home, derives longevity. Also, don't charge a battery more than a couple times per week..... To evaluate an electric car, review service records, and find out, if you can, how many times the battery was subjected to quick-chargers. A nine-year-old electric car is basically a bad consideration, unless it's free. Beyond that, if you can determine that the car and battery have been cared for well, it could have another ten years or more left and by then, battery prices might have fallen even further than they already have.
