[eq1]

Thanks all, very helpful. Currently I'm debating whether to dig in to the pack or drive some more to get a better sense of how the pack is performing as-is. I haven't driven it much overall, and just last night and today I've had some unusual, but perhaps positive IMA/battery behavior.

It quickly discharged with little assist yesterday, but then, it took quite a long time to charge it up - about 35 miles yesterday to bring it back up to about 15 bars, and then another 10 or so today to bring it up to 20 bars. Yesterday I was only getting engine-charging and coasting regen; today I was able to get both coasting and braking regen, with high charge rates (according to the gauge cluster charge gauge). Hit 19 bars in maybe 10 miles, 20 in another 5-10, and then by the end of my 60 mile trip I was able to top it off so that it would take no more charge. That's where I want it to be when I take the pack apart for cycling...

But, I'm thinking that now it actually might have some juice in it and assist will work better, longer. I'd never seen that charging behavior before. I'll rejuvenate the pack regardless, but maybe it's worth waiting and driving more so I know the true performance of the pack before I do the rejuvenating... I'm getting impatient though and want to get going on it... plus, I don't have any external, more accurate gauge to quantify the behavior, anyway...
