Default Re: IMA Battery Gague

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.

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.
