A quick little observation from leafdd - gen. 1
No figures before then. Note I tended to charge to 80% 240V 10A until around May 2013, then switched to 100% 240V 16A charge
Oct 2013 Hx=79.62 C=59.30
Nov 2013 Hx=80.46, C=59.64
Mar 2013 (b4 trip) Hx=80.85, C=59.80
Mar 2014 (after trip) Hx=87.10, C=61.77 (ambient 12C)
Additionally a charge to around 255 GID is now around 260 GID.
So *according to these figures* my battery has been getting slightly better, and long trips (825 miles, quite a few RCs in decent days) are good for the battery.
I'm aware temp can be a strong factor and sadly I don't have ambients for the older figures, but I've taken many more readings than those above and there seems a gradual shift rather than quick changes based on weather
Of course there's no real guarantee as to what these figures mean.... so all of this could mean nothing in terms of the battery itself. but still ...
Ummm....
