6. GID Gary Giddings found on the CAN bus is not the SOC, it's
watt-hours / 80. If you multiply "GIDs" * 80, You get the true
capacity in watt hours In a brand new LEAF, the number of GID = 281
240 * 80 = 19,200 Wh %GID = 240/281 = 85.4% Make sure to set Wh/Gid
= 80 on ur Leafspy
11. To minimize battery capacity loss: Avoid parking in the sun
, try to park in the shade. Keep the SOC in the 30-40% range as
much of the time as reasonably possible. Charge to 80% or 100%
right before you need to make a longer drive. Shallower cycling
(DOD) of the battery pack when possible. For example, two cycles of
60% to 30% SOC rather than one cycle of 90% to 30% should be better
for the battery pack. Drive and accelerate more slowly and more
efficiently. Avoid full charging and deep discharging. Charge your
EV at night. Source:
