Battery degradation

[drmcw]

Just seen this which although on a Thailand based car must be good watching for current owners?

Does anyone know why Bjorn adds 4% in his calculation for battery capacity?
His calculation is distance travelled (Km) X efficiency (Wh/Km) / 0.96. I am wondering about the division by 0.96 which adds 4% to the battery size. Is this to allow for cable losses do you think?

He took the battery down to 4%

He took the battery down to 4%

Of course, thanks

this is also an advantage of our mgzs, the faster the battery can charge and the greater the capacity of the battery, the greater the degradation. our battery is not large and does not charge quickly, but it does last a long time I had already experienced it myself with my obd2 app. 100% soh after 10000km.

Age is a factor and nice to see that after 2 years no signs of degradation. Interesting if there is a reduction in the top or bottom buffer, but considering the largest drop is typically in the first year then those results are certainly heartening.

my Home charger is 10 Amp. No degradation of battery.

Saic said this about the battery: the battery will degrade less than 20 percent in five years and 100,000 kilometersless and less than 30 percent in eight years and 120,000 km. Good news
