Is there a 12 volt battery that needs to be replaced on a regular basis?

What is your question?

Occasionally the start up sequence will fail causing the instrument cluster and headlights to flicker. There will also be various clicks and distortions in the seat belt chime. Once the "Check Hybrid System" came up on the instrument information center, but reset after several startup cycles..

What makes this problem better or worse?

Turning the auto headlights off seems to make it start when it fails to.
