Battery went to ZERO bars - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

Well thanks to the snow and ice here in Memphis Yesterday I was stuck going 0 - 3 MPH for an hour and my battery dropped to NO bars. Once traffic opened up and I was able to actually drive some speed and do some braking the battery life went to full in about 10 minutes.

Is it bad to let the battery get to no bars ?

no it's fine. I believe they have the battery health/safety buffer built in beyond the range that's usable to us.

I doubt it, but thanks for being the first to test it out for us.

iv hit zero twice. when at zero bars, if you park, the car will idle a little higher than normal to charge the battery
