I have a 2011 SL and recently got Leaf Spy Pro to get the AHr.
It's at 9bars 44.75ahr now and I'm at 53.5k miles and till July.
We're in the SF bay area.
What are my chances of getting down to 4BL before my time's up?
If so, any suggestions to secure my chances?
Thanks!
For those interested, here's the progression I'm making.

Like many others, I noticed AHr going up end of Jan. This was when I charged more aggressively both L2/QC to keep it as full as possible. My theory is that when you QC it balances the batteries better, which causes the AHr to go up. If so, it means that AHr calculation depends more on the min voltage rather than average, and perhaps the bars losses are based on average voltage, which would explain why there's a range in AHr when people lose 4 bars? If that's the case I can imagine the car will start doing as much balancing as possible before losing the 4th bar which also may explain why the last bit of the bar is so sticky.
Well whatever the case may be, I stopped doing the "keep it full as possible" tactic and seems like I've been able to lose in a steady pace. I guess I'm still on the border and need to cross my fingers...
