do hybrids have a battery? I'm obviously not talking about the standard lead acid 12volt DC battery

the reason I'm asking, hybrids have been selling really good or so I've been told

Yes, that's what hybrids are, a hybrid between an electric and combustion engine car, I.e. they have both.

It wouldn't be able to function as an electric car at all without a battery. Think of the battery as the EV version of the gas tank. It has to have somewhere to store its energy.
