goes right down and wont charge back up and stay charged. IF it is just
sitting while on its fine. BUt now i am losing all my gas milage and I am not

Did you replace the hybrid battery with a New or Reconditioned battery? It sounds like the hybrid battery is a problem. If you have a quick loss of charge that is usually a sign of bad cells in the battery.

Its not the hybrid batter all the levels are good on it and the last time they hybrid battery went it pulled codes. No code is getting pulled at all its not dying when its on idle its only when I hit the gas. Its like there is no power going through even though both battieres are producing at the voltages they should
