You ordered one yet, voyeur?

I realised I hadn’t done a charge to 100% in many months which means the cells would need balanced. It’s obviously not a complicated process, just charge to 100% every month or two.
Charged my 77kWh Born to 100%, left it for a few hours and then drove for 15 miles. The SoC dropped 11% over just 15 miles, which is obviously concerning. So I charged to 100% again and did the same trip. This time it dropped 5% for the same distance and the GoM recorded much better efficiency.
So if you are doing the 80% rule, don’t forget to do a 100% charge now and again to balance the cells.
Battery SoH is reported as 96% on car scanner app and that was at 14c for the battery. Not bad for a 2 year 8 month old EV with 25300 miles on it.

It would be cheaper to get a recording of engine sounds to play!
