Do mild hybrids suffer from the same battery issues as full hybrids?
Do mild hybrids suffer the same problems as all other hybrids, not suitable for regular short journeys.
Because manufactures are fitting low capacity 12 volt battery and inadequate charging systems, compared to my ICE vehicle fitted with all the closing down systems and never have a problem 70 amp battery with standard alternator.
Would you say all hybrids are not suitable for every day use around town, or do mild hybrids fit into that slot?

Some owners of full hybrid vehicles have found that if the vehicle is parked up for several days that the 12V system becomes depleted, but this depends on the individual use case and it is more about the frequency of the journeys than how long they are. We have seen fewer complaints from owners of mild hybrids suffering with this issue.
