GGD, when you go down-hill from your house, is the battery completely empty? If the battery is let's say 75% charged, then it will quickly charge to 100% before you reach the bottom of the hill and thus there is some energy that could have been stored but it's wasted since the battery is full. would be interesting to see what happens if you leave the house with the battery on a very low charge, let's say 10%, although I am not sure if the computer will ever leave it get that low.
