    Depends on how you drive the car. If you do lots of stop and go local driving then the battery gauge will cycle (slowly) up & down. I do lots of highway driving- mine stays 5-7 bars.

    Also, it can take a week or two before the HV battery ecu "learns" the condition of the pack- mine takes that long after a 12V disconnect before the gauge "settles down" and cycles less.

    Well it’s my wife’s car I have a Prius C she uses her 09 a lot on the hwy and sometimes around town. I use mine Prius c 2012 around town and the on hwy. I only had the 12v replaced by the triple aaa once when it died in the Annapolis mall where I work. My Prius c 2012 stays in the 8 bars area a lot.

    Update my wife Nicole has been driving it a lot and it works great after about a 1 week and half it works great the new hybrid battery and 12v work great. It stays in the blue bars alot. She goes back to work at six flags next month in Bowie. So hopefully it the car will last until then she drives do her Errands and other stuff until she goes back to work next month. Hopefully my Prius 2012 C hybrid battery won’t need to be replaced anytime soon.
