Any actual brake use is depriving the battery from some of the charge it could recoup since you will not turn the generator as long as if you let it provide all of the retardation.
I guess I'll have to look carefully at the power direction indicator when I have the occasion to actually use the brakes...I do not remember it going to zero, but it stays in the regen area while the brakes are being applied (I could be wrong!).
