Hi,
A couple of quick notes: - Dept. of Energy, UT Battelle - there are a number of Prius studies done in 2002-2006 that cover key Prius systems and the transaxle. Google 'em up and you'll find the charts showing Voltage as a function of RPM.
- "B" - uses the engine as a brake when descending hills. This is a good thing because charging the traction battery, fully charging the traction battery, heats it up ... a bad thing. Use "B" for long and steep grades.
