...Was I mistaken in understanding that 27 kWh = 100% SOH, and 110% comes from Kia unofficially installing overcapacity 30 kWh batteries in new models?.. Yes. 27 kWh = 100% SOH of Usable Capacity. The actual total capacity of a 27 kWh Soul EV is 30.5kWh Part of this extra capacity is a buffer that ...

... - in short for (Gamble on) 113000 KM car , HV battery replacement warranty will be on my shoulder , but other wear and tear will be less that will be my benefit am i thinking right way ? ... Yes. I would make the same choice as you. I did buy a used Soul 2015 EV a few months ago. I didn't worry...

... because i heard that they don't install new battery they just match 70% capacity with cell replacement ... This is not true. They have been replacing batteries with new ones that are 100% or better. Many owners have said their replacement battery gives greater range than when the car was first ...

- Popescuiulian26 - I guess that your SOH is about 75% and that you should wait a few more months. You could check for yourself by running one of the diagnostic programs like Torque or SoulEVSpy. ...In the shop they had made an upgrade to the battery and drive train , and checked the Soh at 100% . T...

- I would start the replacement process now. Your battery won't last another year, so why wait another month. I wrote on June 9th when you first posted here. 3 months later we can see the battery getting worse. These are strange readings, and taken together with the voltage deviation of one cell tha...

- Okay. Here's some guesswork, based on previous cases. The car was at 89% SOH when it went into the dealer lot before the summer. It has been sitting in the sun throughout the summer fully charged. If you had many days with 40C temperatures, this is very, very bad for the battery. The car could eas...

.. Can I take the dealer's SOH reading at face value, and if so, is 89% over 3 years 'normal'? Is that 89% of 27 kWh or 30kWh? And can I use this with my recently recorded 3.9mi/kWh to accurately measure my expected range?... The 89% SOH is a real reading of what the BMS ( the computer that control...

...I was able to track my 2011 L eaf pack capacity in this manner for the last five years, and (happily) learned to ignore the inaccurate BMS readouts.. Hi edatoakrun, its been a long time since you last wrote on this forum. Last time here back in April 2016 you wrote ...it seems likely to me that ...

- My white Soul EV has lost 5% SOH in the last 5 weeks. Now down to 79.8% SOH according to Elmil's formula. Am wondering if this fast loss will slow down now the summer is over. Had a look at another way to measure capacity loss. More for fun than accuracy. My white Soul EV takes 4 hours to fully ch...

...I'm not sure but it seems to me (whilst driving a car with a bad battery) that you could sense the battery getting worse every week. Perhaps due to the fact I had to do more quick charging than usual, and especially because it was summer. My guess is that the air cooling is good enough for a nor...
