ZS EV First Service Battery State of Health?

[Data]

Just had my first service carried out on the ZS & everything is fine. My battery SOH is showing as 100% which of course is very pleasing & tbh I was expecting. My dongle showed this prior to the service.

Out of interest I'm wondering the following;

Firstly, just how many of us get a 100% SOH report at the first service? In other words is it common. Just want a flavour of what's happening.

If you DIDN'T get a 100% battery report, what did you get?

Secondly, do you feel it matters what your battery SOH is at the first service? Tell me your views please, and yes we've had some discussions on various aspects of this elsewhere but it's this first service SOH that is of primary interest here please.

Thanks everyone.

I had 100% SOH at my 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th service!
Didn't seem to have any impact when I sold the car however.
This was an MG5 PFL but the principle is the same.

Thanks Alb. That's great.

Thanks Alb. That's great.

It's just a nonsense figure from a lazy or incompetent dealer. No real state of battery health is 100% after a year of use or more, whatever the mileage, lol!

Also, I don't think it really matters, will probably really be somewhere in the upper 90's at this point in your cars life.

Why lazy or incompetent Paulie? Yes, all batteries deteriorated from new. But it's the buffer area that is doing that first & that won't if I'm lucky show up for quite some time. To assist this I do a full & proper equalisation at regular intervals which definitely slows degradation.

How many miles has your car covered @Data
First service I expect it will be fairly low.
Given this, I would not expect anything less than 100% SOH tbh.
Of course there is the temptation by the dealer to write 100% on the service sheet because it’s so new.
Therefore I always asked for a screen shot of their diagnosis computer as well, the dealer kindly obliged.
The screen shot was attached to the service “tick sheet” and cleared displayed the SOH of the traction battery and VIN number of our car in the shot.

How many miles has your car covered @Data

Just 6,000. No miles at all. Likely to be much more this year.

Because they do have access to the real figure, but clearly rather than bother to actually get that, have just written in 100%.

We also got 100% at the first service, but i am fairly sure, when i read the SoH figure about ½ a year ago using the eZS app, it was below that, so unless these are selfhealing batteries, the SoH they give you is bogus.
