SOH is the State of Health of the battery, and is not directly tied to the State of Charge. If the car was made in February and sold in December, it likely sat on a dealers lot at 100% charge for 10 months. Even in a cooler climate, that is still hard on the battery.Scaramanga wrote:So I read this post and started thinking about my car, and fussed a bit, fiddled. There's a couple things I just don't understand I guess, namely the relationship between SOH in LeafSpy, GIDS and bars. I have 12/12 bars with 1800 miles as you'd expect, but even after a full charge last night and topping it off (just to be sure) this morning, my SOH @ 92% is not as high as I thought it would be. Perhaps you can help me interpret the results.

That's an interesting point, I hadn't thought of that, I'll have to do some research and get a spreadsheet going to see when I'll lose my first battery bar, it sounds like the pack might not be a long lived as I'd like it to be, BUT I will say I drive very short miles, usually 15 miles a day and then for errands on the weekends. About once a month I drive into the office (instead of taking the train) about 70 miles round trip. So it may not be that difficult to live with.baustin wrote:SOH is the State of Health of the battery, and is not directly tied to the State of Charge.

Agree with this assessment 100%. This is why its critical to examine the car fax on these cars since you can pretty much tell how long they sat where.baustin wrote:SOH is the State of Health of the battery, and is not directly tied to the State of Charge.

I'm in almost the exact same boat (numbers in previous posts). That said, it's not getting worse and it's still way more than enough to get to work and back a few time between charges so I'm still happy with it. I do wonder if it'll make the 100k 9 bar warranty.jbuntz wrote:Mine is also one that sat on a lot in Texas for almost a year. It is now at 70.75 AHr 89% SOH and 5175 mi. It has been fairly consistent for the last 2 months. When I bought it last Dec it was at 86% SOH, so it has improved a bit. It will be interesting to see how it does this summer.
Good call, but no I only charge it two days a week, I think I just drive it so few miles that I may not be 'exercising' the pack well enough. I could just let it get below 25% and then charge it up fully on a evening before I have to drive a longer trip, or all the way into the office.LeftieBiker wrote:Do you charge to 100% often? Always? If you just charged it full once, then it may improve with a few full charges. just make sure you drive it a bit, soon after it's fully charged.

I dumped my LeafSpy data into a spreadsheet and I'm tracking it closely now vs. the standard battery bar breakpoints vs. warranty expectations here:
