IMA Battery Gague

Re: IMA Battery Gague
There are other threads in the forum that talk about the battery SOC being maintained between 40% and 80% to maximize life. I don't know what percentage 3 bars is, but the assumption is that 4 bars is about 40% and 8 bars is 80%.

Re: IMA Battery Gague
hello,
i have a quick question. i've had the new 2006 civic hybrid for a 1 month now. i noticed that the batter never gets full anymore. in the first couple of weeks, the gauge would be full. now, it's one bar short from being full. is it suppose to be like this?
i'm a first time hybrid owner, so please be gentle. thank you.

erio,
It should be dependent upon your driving routes, and on how you drive. I'm surprised to hear that it was often at 8 bars when new. Was this once or twice? If so, it could have just been coincidence. 8 bars doesn't happen to me very often - usually only when I coast down a very long hill, assuming the SOC was already up there around 7 to begin with. Of course, coming down a mountain pass in Tennessee one time I didn't have any trouble getting it to 8 bars, but that's pretty unusual for me...
I wouldn't be concerned at all, unless you see it doing something strange.

in the first couple of weeks, the gauge would be full by the end of the day and never went halfway down. lately, it's short by one bar from becoming full and during driving, the gauge goes halfway down.
