Hi,
I have a 2-month old 2004 Prius with 4000km (=3000 miles) on the clock. I'm driving around Sydney, which has its share of hills and gullys, so the Prius is constantly charging and discharging its battery pack. On the Energy Monitor screen, the Battery charge indicator has shown any level from a full charge (very occasionally) down to about a half-charge capacity. The typical reading is around 3/4 charge - that is, the top 2 "bars" on the charge indicator are blank (=white background colour). I was just wondering if this is typical - do other Prius' exhibit the same sort of charge levels, or do other owners find the level is typically higher (or lower) ? I just want to understand if this is "normal" behaviour...
Thanks for all advice.
David
