Hybrid bat. monitoring with a scangauge

Here's what I use. I bought my first SG-II, was mightily impressed with it and so got another on eBay. The ROM was an old version, so I contacted Linear-Logic, who sent me the upgrade (NO CHARGE! ) and even told me not to bother to return the old one. The brain-transplant wasn't too difficult for this ex-Electronics-Tech. I Have 8 items displayed, 4 (on the upper SG-II) for the ICE and AuxBattery, and the 4 on the lower for the TractionBattery & MPG - hope this helps:

Version 4.13 (ROM version)

Upper: ICE(RPM) ICE(degF)
AuxBat(V) ICE(HP)

Lower: TracBat(Soc)/(csd)/(bTV) TracBat(+/-btA)
Inst(MPG) JAvg(MPG)

 

For the cost of a $6 Android app and a $20 adaptor, you could use your Androd phone/tablet to see lots of hybrid battery and car data all on one screen.

 

Only one? Mmmm, that's difficult; perhaps StateofCharge (SoC) although that is also shown on the MFD; perhaps current in/out (Bta), or ICE(HP) since that shows what the ICE is doing (i.e. it is providing power or acting as a sink for any excess energy). I think I like @ericbecky 's suggestion, which allows you to see everything (although take care not to get too distracted! )

 

It is all there in previous posts (of which there are many), but from memory, I bought my 2009 Gen II with 83k miles on odometer back in Jan 2014, and (from memory) the SoC used to spend most of its time in the higher green (~5>6 bars?) occasionally going to the max (8 bars?). When I started using the Prolong Grid System, I noticed that the SoC would spend most of its time in the upper green, and after the last "Full Monty" (see threads passim) back at YuleTide, I have seen it get up to 81%, but it spends most of its time from 65->75% - hope this helps - Wil
