Kers

We're on a drive and notice that the Kers 3 isn’t working correctly. Usually it regenerates -20 but it’s only giving -7. Why could this be? Car is currently 95% charged.

Car is currently 95% charged.

I think you're right on the borderline where KERS is reduced, perhaps especially if the battery is cold. Look again in a few miles.

Yes, if the battery is basically full it isn’t able to store the Kers charge fully. So it reduces the regen.

Kers works better as the battery SOC reduces. I find under 80% kers3 is most effective.
