    Hi Prius Community,

    I want to produce a similar results as the below link

    Independent Techstream Testing – Hybrid Automotive

    Is there any guideline how to do that? Getting such results seems a bit gloomy as I don't know how what is what and relations between them.

    As far as reliable, consistent testing is concerned, that test is a bunch of crap.

    Get an OBD adapter and an android phone. Get an app like Hybrid Assistant and Hybrid Reporter. It has a battery check function that you can do a battery test using the AC system. It's pretty repeatable and gives plenty of data to see how healthy or unhealthy your battery is.
