Rush and All, I agree that the information can be quite confusing. I tried my best to make it clear that what the engineer told me. It was that 0% on the instrumentation is about 20% in the pack, and that 100% on the instrumentation is about 80% in the pack. Thjis was the best that they could do to remove the customer error factor in the charging protocol. If you charge it to 80% per the instrumentation, it will not hurt your pack, but you will of course experience lower range because you are not charging to the full potential.
Hope this helps to clear things up some, -Tom On Wed, Oct 5, 2016 at 1:34 PM, Mark Hanson via EV <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks folks > > So if the Leaf charges at the 100% setting to 4.12vpc and 80% to 4.05vpc > and battery university says max life of 2k cycles is at 4.00vpc then I > should change my charge cut off at 80% for daily short trips of 15 miles > typical.
