Stanton said:This turned into to a decent "how to prolong batt pack capacity" thread. Too bad you can't tell that from the title!
I was thinking the same thing, so in an attempt to not veer off topic more, I summarized some of what I've concluded from the discussion here over on the "80% club" thread: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2265&start=150
I am very curious to see over time how the battery pack handles the 100% & 80% L2 charging that some people say they will doing vs the 100% and 80% L1 charging that some are sticking with. the variables are a bit mind boggling, I do wonder if a clear pattern will emerge. No matter how gentle the L2 charging actually is, I think this thread is an example of the tendency for some folks to feel that more gentle is even better.
Seems like we all need to create benchmarks for our current capacity, pick a 70 mile loop that we can periodically clock to see how the capacity is holding up, it would at least have some consistent factors like elevation. We'd need to stick to a relatively constant speed and note the temperature etc. hmm, a new topic for a new thread...
