    So the $700 Green 07 that I've been driving for I don't know man 6 months now it seems like had a green bean battery in it that I would say was on its way out there were no codes yet The car wasn't lighting up gas mileage was a little down and I noticed that in my consumption screen there were almost never any pips in the green bars or cars in the green bars from my regenerative braking stuff. And I watch this kind of thing and I watch my average gas mileage and all that we were you know around 4142 during this time like I say the battery didn't look horrible in any of the software but you could tell it was well used fast forward to last week or maybe it's been about 9 days now I found the battery in a tow lot that look like it had been purchased maybe 7 months ago or something like that less than a year It was clean inside the bus bars were still copper colored all of it and when I put my test voltage meter on it It said it had a $211.9 volts in it I thought that was strange usually they show a bit different I installed that battery in this 07 car and now it's getting 49 mi to the gallon generally speaking and I have pips in every bar in the consumption screen or cars in every bar in the consumption screen some are stacked four high too high etc so I guess your consumption screen is a good indicator It seems like of battery condition somewhat after watching it in both phases.
