KD,
for what it's worth... :? I too just recently bought my 2001 5spd. It as about the same miles as yours does. When I picked it up the battery meter was about 1/2. But ever since I started driving it, it always shows full or maybe 1-2 bars lower. I drive about 100 miles per day averaging around 65mph and mine stays full.
Last weekend I only drive in town (a/c off) and the lowest I saw was about 3 bars from the top. I wondering if I'm using enough assist? I do drive it easy and usually try to coast to a stop light and it shows about 4-5 bars on the re-charge with out using the brakes. If it just touch the brakes mine show full charging.
Just another persons experience. I'm certainly no where near an expert at this yet. But I'm having a great driving my Insight!
