In another part of this forum, it was stated:

So if I read this comment correctly, if the SOC is never brought below 20% it will never give you a SOH reading? I have a Soul EV 2021 with over 20k km on it that has never been charged above 85% since being driven off the lot, or drained any lower than 28%. In Soul EV Spy it just says no info yet for SOH, which makes sense if I'm reading the above comment correctly. Sounds like it'll keep saying that until it's drained below 20% and charged back up to 100%, if so. Can anyone confirm?
EVDee said:Biggest factor at play: you need the battery to recalibrate itself vs giving you old & outdated data.
Basically:
- the temperature outside needs to be above 10C
- the battery needs to be fully charged then discharged to 10-15%
- then the battery needs to be fully charged again without interruption
- the battery recalibration will occur
Otherwise taking a reading will be worthless as its just the value from the last calibration which was likely before it sat and degraded.
Best of luck!
