Would like comments on how my battery is holding up? See numbers below. Hard for me to discern the trend, with Ahr/HX/SOH bouncing all over (not to mention some numbers conflict between LeafSpy and LeafStat, why is that?). Located in Albany, NY area.
2015 Leaf S w/ QC
Mfg: Sept. 2014
Purchased: Nov. 2014
Odo: 33,300
Daily charging habits:
- Wife commutes to work each day, 48 miles round trip. She usually gets home with about 45% remaining in the summer, closer to 25-30% remaining in the dead of winter.
- Almost always charge to 100%. But instead of using the car's own charging timer, I use the delay timer on the home L2 and work the math so that it starts charing around 4am or so, and is fully charged as close to my wife's departure time as possible. Most days it isn't at 100% for more than 30-45mins before she hops in and goes. Using the car's own timer would lessen the brain load but I notice it tends to overestimate the time needed to reach full charge, and so it sits in the garage at 100% for a longer time than necessary. Maybe that's splitting hairs, but I'll continue with my delay timer habit until it's too much of a bother.
- Almost never arrive home with less than 20%. If we do happen to get down in the 15% range, I immediately charge it up to around 30%, then let it sit for most of the night and begin it's normal charge at 4am.
- We're blessed with a garage, so that helps to keep the worst of the cold (and heat) at bay. My wife is a school counselor, and the parking lot is completely open with no shade, but since she's not parking there in the hottest weeks of the summer, that extra heat strain is lessened as well.
