    Hi all, what level should the hybrid battery stay at while driving my 2009 Prius?

    I am guessing you are looking at a gauge. It will tend to stay about 75% 'full' while cruising. Should you descend a mountain, it can 'fill up' the whole way. I find mine gets down to 1/4 'full' as I ease around in a drive thru, then the engine turns on.
