I've seen a few references to this effect, but wondering if people can share what they've seen in detail.
I'm tracking my 2012 leaf, hoping I get a 4 bar drop by the end of Jan 2018. Last week, I felt like I was getting within striking distance - I had dropped to 43.66Ahr, and was feeling pretty good about my chances. I hadn't quick charged for over a month.
Then yesterday I quick-charged to nearly full after hitting LBW. My Ahr jumped to 43.83. Then my wife drove the car for 30 miles today ... 43.87Ahr. A 0.2Ahr jump in a day seems very large. Is this a normal effect? How long have people seen it last? Is this a temporary blip or does it reset the curve, so to speak?
Here's what Ahr did as compared to SOC over the last 2 days; the rapid increase in SOC is the quick charge, of course:
After one quick charge session back in June I saw my Ahr jump and not drop back to the prior values for almost 2 weeks. I hope that doesn't happen this time, as I'm getting awfully close to missing my warranty expiration.
Sigh.
Anecdote or not, I think I'm done with quick charging until my warranty period is over.![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
