Batteries lose capacity over the years and loading cycles. Is there any statement in the terms of warranty concerning a "normal" loss of capacity vs a status that needs the battery to be replaced?
Any experiences from the other Hybrids?

Found The following interesting paragraph in my CR-Z Diver's Manual:

„For your Attention:
If the car is not used for more than one month, the life time of the 100 Volt NiMH Battery will be reduced and the battery may get damaged permanently.“

(Translated from German manual, p.405)

It showed me full a few times after driving a down-hill route. Usually I don't get more than 6 of 8 bars on the monitor (mixed traffic, I have not been on the highway so far).
