The 40KWH Battery Topic

[danrjones]

For comparison I get 4.8-4.9 in the summer & around 3.7-3.9 in the winter and of course in between in spring & fall. Any chance your tire psi is at 39 cold?

I haven't checked the tires for about a month. It was blazing hot outside at that time, but ever since I brought it home I've been around 4.1 and my wife upper 3's on average. Part of it might be lots of shorts drives, so each time it has to cool the cabin down. Its just getting cool inside and my drive is done. I also don't use eco mode. I'm not too worried about it. Pretty sure my wife is lower because she drives it harder.

In the morning I'll get something like 4.5 going to work. Lunch maybe 4.0. Going home like 3.6. Could be elevation, more likely AC usage. Not sure yet if it will flip this winter.

All in all, i'm happy with it. Gas is 3.49 right now and at night my power is 0.12 / kWh. I'm well ahead.

[HerdingElectrons]

We're all WAY ahead, gas is now 3.69/gal here & $.16/kWh so I feel ya there. I was doing 4.2 last summer when I first got the car so there's potential if you care to play the efficiency game more but it's already so much cheaper that's simply more for personal challenge than real economic savings.

Updated Battery Stats below. As the weather has cooled, you can see SOH decline rate dropped, and HX has started dropping.

Can't remember my ODO at the moment and leafspy never reports it correctly, so I'll add it later. Battery Temps this AM were around 68 for the three averaged.

My 40kWh and 60kWh Leaf seem to be following the same degradation curve. The SOH drops uncomfortably quickly until the odometer reached 7000 miles, and then the decline slows down to about 1/3 the rate. That’s after taking out the big drops every 90 days, of course.

my drop is now 5 days late (never more than 2 days off the 90 day cycle before) and considering the last adjustment went up, I am thinking the BMS is simply a lot slower getting a fix on the pack than previous models

In July and October I had an upward correction of .47% and .52% this left me with a total loss for the summer (6 months) of only .17%
The first year was the bad one where I lost 7.49%. My total loss at 19 months is 7.69%, so for the last 7 months I have a very small loss or the BMS is just making up for it’s over zealous first year estimate. Who knows

[LeftieBiker]

I'm coming up on the 18 month mark on November 1st. I'll check mine then.

2018 Nissan Leaf SL

46,000 kms = 28,583 miles
SOH : 93.96%

I check it weekly with LeafSpy and I have never seen my SOH go up it just goes down daily at a rate of .02%

[Dala]

I checked the stats on the 40kWh I have in storage



2018 / x? model
6 000km
SOH = 95,9%

[golfcart]

Holding relatively steady in the 94.xx% range. After the large drop in May/June I've just been seeing very slow degradation of about 0.2% each month.
