Hi all
Following my previous suspicion on my battery. I also notice on a few occasions (tho I do not run into that scenario very often anyway so it could have been more chances of that happened)
I was told from day one that I have the LFP battery (SR 50kwh) which needs to be charged to 100% and not the 20/80 Rule like others. So my habit was to top it up to 100% as and when so very rarely dropped down before 50% anyway.
So here is a thing, last night I left the car at 50% (uncharged), this morning it was at 40% with no preconditioning and no heating set. Did my school run which comprised a 5 mile round trip, came back at 31%..
considering I usually get 15 miles per 10% in this kind of weather and no heating was use , something is seriously not right. And what is more strange is that when it drops to like 25%, from 25% to 15% it behaves back to normal with more acceptable mileage.
Considering the driving conditions are same or very similar, (no heat as well), I cannot work out what went wrong.
And since my car is due for a service next month, can the dealership check for battery health and how accurate is it? and until what state it is considered to be a warranty job if needing for replacement? Just wondering ..
Thanks all
