CSP 23B12 - High Voltage Battery Module Replacement for Previously Repaired Vehicles

[Tampamike]

Thanks! I Could've sworn it was going at a higher rate before. I realize it's not necessarily reliable due to hallucinations(or input error) but I asked Chat GTP & it reported that about 19kw was expected, but I had neglected to add the 240v in the question. Adding in 240v it came up with 9.6kw minus a bit of loss sounds right.

Before the repair, if I remote started, when I unplugged, I'd hear a distinctive click and the set charge target was intact. Now I don't hear the click & the charge has dropped a couple of percent. I haven't changed any of the settings in the charger itself. I have been charging to 90% the past few days to help get the BMS balanced. I'll go back to my usual 60% target & give it a week to see if it improves.

Thanks

Why do you only charge to 60% regularly?

Why do you only charge to 60% regularly?

(Sorry for straying so far off topic from 23B12!)

If you do a YouTube search for "extending electric car battery longevity", you'll get many results that warn against regularly charging over 80%, or draining down to empty. I saw one particular video that claimed that by regularly charging to around 60% and usually only draining down to around 40% you can extend the life of your battery dramatically. My daily driving almost never exceeds 20% of range use, so it's easy to do & if it makes the pack last longer that's great. I doubt it hurts it. I do charge to 100% just before road trips. Keeping the car plugged in & not parking in hot sun are also recommended. I don't really know how much of a difference these steps will make, but it's easy for me to do...
