Allen84, Just purchased a 2010 Fusion Hybrid with 131000 miles, and really keep in good shape I was lucky. Out of the box the EV just didn't seem right. We owned a Prius prior, so I knew something just didn't feel right with how the car was driving on just the engine even at a lower speed. Did some research and bam, found your forum and instructions on how to reset the battery. Bought the bbfly from Amazon you suggested, no issues and windows 10 auto installed the drivers. Only issue I had was that I downloaded the Forscan extended key to my main PC not the laptop I was going to use the software on. Resent the Forscan peeps for another key, got it in 30 minutes, loaded up the laptop, headed out to the fusion and Bingo Bango 5 minutes later the car drives like its brand new. I went from 30 mpg to over 42 mpg just like that after resetting MPG and EV settings. The EV is running at even 40 mph once I get to speed and feather the gas pedal down, battery is doing just as described and maintaining a perfect even charge. I found a quote from a dealership in the owner's manual for a new battery and install priced at over $5000.00. Hence why he probably sold the car to the same dealership, and why the dealer had the car priced so low. I am so glad we purchased the car, and thank you so much the instructions, the suggestion on the bbfly, the links to everything, and how easy everything was to follow and was right on the money. I joined just to thank you, but I am learning so much from all the great information throughout all the forums!

So glad to have been able to lend a "hand"! It's amazing being able to use the info in forums like this and get stuff working properly / better. ?
