    Hey guys, so I finally got everything i needed to run a Dr Prius scan. The car passed all tests. When i did a life expectancy test, i did all the steps except when i had about 200 seconds left, the car went to charging mode which made it abort the test early. However, it still gave me feedback that my battery was in fair condition and at 67%. How accurate is this? Is this a pretty decent test that Toyota does?

    You're at 67% state of charge seems reasonable . Run the hale out of it . how does the energy monitor look when you're driving the car for an hour or so you get decent coverage of magenta to blue to green and back . You can generally tell your car's battery condition and charging condition in general driving business by watching the energy monitor while on a good drive for like longer than hour .

    Thanks for the heads up, I generally only drive the car for 30 minutes periods. I was worried because I bought this car from a buy here pay here lot but I think it’s looking like a good deal so far.

    I paid like 7k out the door for 161k miles. Happy with it so far. The car is currently got two bars of gas left but it’s around 320 ish miles. I was hoping to get 400-500. Is that common?
