I'm spending most of the day at 5 temp bars and only right when I get home do I get to 6 temp bars, even after a full L2 charge in 95 degree heat (granted, the garage is covered but is exposed directly to the outdoors). Anyone else seen this?
Agreed. I am noticing the pack getting hotter but also cooling much faster. When it was cooler, I would see my pack take nearly 24 hours or more to cool to ambient on my 2013 and this getting it no higher than 7 TBs but my 2016, I had it up to 10 TBs and it was almost back to ambient less than 10 hours later
Sorry for diverting from your help with VAB5, but just wanted to throw out some more data on the battery heating/cooling.
yesterday, I drove to santa clarita (1200 feet elevation gain). QC'd for 31 minutes (13.5kwh added) and temp bars went from 6 to 10. LeafSpy showed 123 F (while ambient was ~80 F @ 8pm). Drove for 48 miles (~an hour), and battery temp was still at 122 F.
12 hrs later(with overnight L2 charging), battery temp was still at 98.6 (7 bars) - Ambient was 70.
