This one from August :
1) unknown
2) 96.7%
3) 3900 miles (6275km)
4) 330 kWh
5) May 2022
6) Charged 39 times, 14 charging 95% or more. Charging only 2 times from below 15%
Second one from December :
1) unknown
2) 92.7%
3) 9333 miles (15021km)
4) 493 kWh
5) May 2022

Finland, so cold winters
How does one check their battery SoH?Latest update posted.
You need to purchase/avail of an OBDII scanner/tool and use with (usually) free OBDII readout software e.g. CarScanner. As pointed out in this thread there are cheap Chinese knock-offs out there (that do work fine and that I did in fact purchase w/o realizing TBH!), but also legit companies/developers that sell these for very reasonable cost i.e. ca. US$85. These tools can provide a ton of data beyond basic SoH data and are 100% safe to use with your car - great cheap piece of kit to give you real and useful data on your car.How does one check their battery SoH?
Appreciate the context. I am interested in learning more about the car.You need to purchase/avail of an OBDII scanner/tool and use with (usually) free OBDII readout software e.g. CarScanner.

Interesting! I have not been following the Forum much lately, but wonder if you can see if the majority of these curious samples also are related to the first model, MY2020.Curiously (and not statistically robust at all at this stage) but 4 of the 5 lowest SoH readings to date are in Turbo or Turbo S models.
Concretely, the Vgate vLinker MC+ Bluetooth OBD2 adapter (iOS and Android) and the Car Scanner app worked for me.OK, what should I buy?

Spot on - the data is actually there in the spreadsheet I have posted and keep updated in my first post - all 5 are 2020 (one 2019) builds! (modified chart comment to reflect your post).Interesting!

I think I saw a post (think by @rs38 ???) about different chemistry in the first model year compared to later cars?? That is perhaps linked here?
I am not aware of different chemistry in Taycans!I think I saw a post (think by @rs38 ???) about different chemistry in the first model year compared to later cars?? That is perhaps linked here?
It’s suggested in this TSB: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10219388-0001.pdfI am not aware of different chemistry in Taycans!
The TSB does not say much though -- it may be a slightly different cell without much impact in practice. That is my guess or otherwise Porsche may have made this more public ??It’s suggested in this TSB: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10219388-0001.pdf
