I am noticing Lvl 3 Fast Chargers are not getting my to 80% nearly as quickly before.
Latest sessions at different locations I see 62% at 380V and <40 AMPS.
I had a 2pm appt today to get it checked out but I'm totally broke at the moment in case they find no fault since it's on LEASE until Feb 2018.
Advisor has never seen a battery go bad so he doesn't really know the signs of a failing battery... and when weak performance is just weak enough to have the battery replaced. He insisted that I should wait for error lights to show up on my dashboard.
Not that it matters much, but I came to this same dealer when I had a OBC (on-board controller) Fail on me about 4 months ago.
Performance degradation was first noticed about 3 weeks ago when amperage dropped from 100 Amps to under 50 when reaching 70% with the fast chargers.
1.) Should I be worried esp since I wanted to see the great solar eclipse next week driving from California to Oregon? I figure I can at lease leave a day earlier than planned to use Level 2 Chargers along the way (540 miles there and same returning home). Level 2 Charging seems to be somewhat more reliable aside from a recent night when it refused to top off at 100% the time before I last reached 100%.
2.) My mileage is about 67,000 (warranty covers up to 100,000)
3.) How long does it normally take to order a new battery replacement to be delivered to a dealer if in fact I need a new one.
I'm in Sacramento, CA
4.) If no dashboard lights come on. When is the final crossing line to say, "My battery needs to be replaced". How poorly does it need to perform?? (if the major red flag is that it's not performing nominally and seeing a normal charge go up to 80% without a drop in amps far below 100 amps)
