Abstract

Methods and systems are described to provide the user with information relating to status of vehicle and battery status based on environment and vehicle use. The user can be educated on the effects of vehicle use and environmental factors on the vehicle battery's status and ability to store charge. This is intended to alter the user's behavior to improve battery performance. A display can provide data representing at least one display image presenting information related to battery status, including capacity decay. A display generator can generate visual data for display in the at least one display image to provide visual stimulation, representing the battery state, which is based on the state of charge (SOC), temperature, and vehicle off time, and user selected options to reduce possible battery capacity decay, to the user.
