Default Perhaps off Topic Here, But?

Hi everyone,

This is not a specific 460 LS topic but hoping someone can answer this.

I have heard that here is an Iphone app that allows ones to easily check the health of their battery, and specifically a hybrid battery pack?

Reason I ask is I also have a 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid now with 57k that even new got at best 36mpg all city driving, and now gets only 28.
And yes, my wife and I are older folks who baby our all city driving and keep the Camry new tires, and properly serviced.

We know hybrid battery performance deteriorates over time, boy has it ever. I called the dealer and he said sorry about the mph thing
and no, there is no way to test the hybrid batter, that warning will come on if it has a problem.

So when I heard about an Iphone app to check it myself I did some searching and could not find anything.
Perhaps they are referring to the newer Lexus's with hybrid power now...........?

It is a little off topic and I'll leave your thread here, but you might also want to start a thread in Car Chat where you will get a much wider audience.

Frankly I would be skeptical of an app for that purpose. I would seem that you would have to have some type of physical connection to the battery,
