Hi, first post here, I wanted to know if someone had any data or graph of the DOD cycles until end of life of battery but with different % of Degradation. I only find online data for DOD cycles of a brand new battery.
Im asking this because Im getting a 2013 S in a deal (not living in the US), the dealer cut back 6k of the price because the battery is really degradated, 5/12 bars, you read that right, 3 white ones with only 69k miles on it.
So I know I have to replace the battery and the dealer already discounted the price for it, BUT, I was thinking how much miles can it go with that kind of Degradation. I have a short commute and can charge at work, but how many miles can I "steal" from this old battery?
