(bah! Top of the page blues. See my last post first: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=13247&p=319070#p319070" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false
Voltages on the battery page also seem to coincide with this health figure - knowing the battery is only "feeling" 70% of its former perkiness, I observe the graph dipping under load pretty clearly. (BTW, a pack voltage readout and histogram, made from a sum of the bar graph values, would be very useful. ) The drop in voltage also represents a higher amp load to extract the same number of watts from the pack, versus a healthier battery that has less of a voltage drop at the same load.
That means health also influences drive efficiency (miles/kWh or kWh/KM). When you accelerate, the voltage drops less in a healthy battery. As long as I've got my math straight regarding watts and amps...
