There are companies that offer replacements and can come to you to install the battery.

I assume you know that the Hybrid battery is dead. 1. check the price of new or reconditioned batteries  
2. Use Kelly Blue Book to have some idea of what your vehicle is worth 3. Decide if you want to spend that kind of money to fix the vehicle

No one but you and who ever else is in your household can make the decision.

What do you mean by the battery is dead?

Do you mean the gas engine runs but the HV battery will not charge properly or stay charged?  
Do you mean you ran the car out of gasoline and then ran on the electric until it too ran out of power?  
Or do you mean that the car will not “power up” to Ready when you turn it on?

These are 3 different problems with 3 different solutions.

Around here the Camry hybrid battery is $1700-1900 installed. But a dead 12v battery is much more common.

I think a dead battery and multiple elec codes will result in a non running/moving hybrid? I don’t think you can drive it with a dead battery. Maybe I’m wrong.
