I will stop driving immediately. I am not sure when my warranty is up. My service report shows del date of 12 oct 12. In regard to running the ac, would this show up on the warranty report, I would hate to not get it. Would it be better to drain it via ac the QC I only live 5 miles away from one and only have a total of 40 QC.QueenBee said:kjpowers said:Hey All, I wanted to know what you guy think of my results and if you think it is possible to hit the 8 bar drop.

You don't say when your warranty expires but if you have the calendar time if I were you I would stop driving the car now leaving it plugged in, with the climate control timer set to go off everyday. THis will do four things. First it'll keep the 12 volt battery charged, then it'll keep the traction battery at a relatively high SOC, and it'll cause the battery to cycle a bit as the climate control while plugged in does this pattern of discharging the battery and then charging it back up, and it will keep the inside nice and dry. Then figure out how many miles you can drive it per week such that the calendar warranty expiration and the mileage expiration line up. This will allow you to continue to monitor the progression of the battery capacity degradation.
