How long will the battery last in a Honda Jazz Hybrid?

I'm thinking of buying a new Honda Jazz Hybrid. My only concern is the lifespan of the batteries powering the motors. I intend to keep the car for 10 or more years so what's the likelihood of the batteries lasting that long?

Batteries from older hybrid and electric cars seem to be standing the test of time. Honda has found that the battery in the Civic IMA (from 2002) usually lasts 10-14 years, and no replacements have yet been needed for newer models such as the Insight and Jazz Hybrid. The battery in the Jazz is covered by a comprehensive warranty for the first five years or 90,000 miles – whichever comes first.
