regenerative braking

It depends on a number of factors including your speed and the amount of current that the battery is able to accept (at the time), but it's not a hard or sudden cut-off point either. There is actually a gradual transition from full regenerative braking to partial friction braking to mostly friction braking depending on how hard you push the pedal.

 

Do you have a ScanGauge or something to monitor the amount of current going into or out of the HV pack? I monitor that value (BTA on many tables) w/my SG.

I used to think I was braking very lightly, until I got my SG.

 

Attila Vass' work might be of interest to you.

 

Do you know if the brake pedal values he's referring to directly correspond to the bps value mentioned at http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-ii-prius-technical-discussion/68477-updated-list-gen-ii-xgauges-scangauge.html?

 

i have a scanguage, do i code in the amp or volt, there is no bta

 

IIRC, I'm using Bta or bta from http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-ii-...list-gen-ii-xgauges-scangauge.html#post950412.

 

That's been my assumption, though I haven't tracked BPS on my CAN-View closely enough or often enough to try to verify. With braking as the least efficient method of slowing (versus gliding or regenerative coasting), I try to avoid it whenever possible and instead focus on parameters such as RPM, BTA, INJ, IGN, and ETF, among others.
