Hello all, i bought a 141 Lexus IS300H F sport and im wondering could anybody share some knowlage / experience with me . As i am new to the car i am looking closely at the energy monitor screen trying to figure it out as im driving. I have noticed that the battery bars only go to 6 and never the 8 and i have read this is normal. My question is when it gets to 6 bars should it stay charged and hold at the 6 bars for long as it seems to drop down faster than i thought. Bare in mind the driving i am doing is short stop and starts around the city and housing estates /streets. I got the hybrid certificate done when i bought the car and it all passed so i was just wondering is it normal for the battery bars to bounce from 6 to 2 up and down in the short space while doing that type of driving ?? And what would be an indicator if the battery was losing its goodness and not doing the job properly ? And the last question if the battery was to go bad can the car still be able to drive using the petrol engine. Thanks in advance much appreciated.
Wayne.
