I believe that's accurate..once the sub pack disconnects it no longer regens...not that it's likely you'd need much more than the Main would be capable of absorbing in all but the most rare circumstances. Even with my NiMH pack in the Prius and it's strict SOC limits I exceed the regen capabilities maybe 5 times a year...and then, not by much.evnow said:efusco said:That information was incorrect, all 3 packs can charge via regen. The chart below shows the up and down of charge/discharge during driving.
I guess once a battery gets to 20% and "disconnects" it can't be used during regen ?
In anyway, I don't really understand the need to for packs, instead of one. Also 13-15 miles out of a 5 kwh battery sounds less.
