So the battery seems to be working fine, but my problem is my driving never allows it to get charged, so I still gotta use clutch switch to keep it from assisting. It's just hanging out at 3 bars because when hypermiling I you know try to not accelerate more than I need to. I'm the slowest car on the road, hanging out in the right lane. FCD right now for current tank says 3.1 l/100km with 145km on the tank. That's like 90 miles at over 70mpg for the Americans in here. I don't ever DFCO + regen because I'll just use EFAS and EoC instead of letting the car regen. I guess for hypermiling not having a battery is better.
