Trying to get through the huge manual. Is there a way to determine the level of charge left on the hybrid batteries? Wondering since we may go several days without driving the car for any prolonged distance.

You didn't list the model you were asking about but hybrid narrows it down to 2 (so far) models RX-350h and RX-500h
I only have the 500h and you would have to look at the graphic of the power flow to see the charge of the battery. This is the only place I remember seeing any charge indicator. The 500h uses the battery for some mild EV coasting but there is no dedicated EV mode.
If it's only fpr several days then you'll be fine. If it's going to be more than a few weeks then you might want to start the car and leave it to idle every couple of days for 30 mins or so.

There are two places to get the state of the hybrid traction battery charge while in the car, the Multi-information display and the Center display. See the info from the manual and photos from my car. I would suggest not using the Center display while driving because it is a distraction from driving. The Multi-Information display makes it easier to keep focused on the road and it is one screen down from the Trip mpg screen. I toggle between the two all of the time, but wish they would add the trip mpg to the energy screen. I hope this is what you were asking.
Here is the battery charge indicator on the instrument cluster. It was one bar higher before driving 1/2 mile in EV mode, in a parking lot.
I have not seen my indicator go higher than half yet in the week that I've had the vehicle. Maybe I just haven't driven it long enough to build up a charge?
I have had my 23 RX 350h AWD Premium Plus for a week today. Still trying to figure out all the bells and whistles on it. I got the MIca Red with Palomino interior. It was better looking than I thought--pictures didn't do it justice. Unfortunately, I had to drive to Houston to get it. We don't have a Lexus dealer in our area, so it involves driving anywhere from 200-500 miles to get to a dealer. I noticed the bars varied while driving in freeway traffic--3-4 bars and it recharged rather quickly in city driving.

Any way to tell hybrid battery charge level?
