Do you lose battery % overnight?

Joking. Impressive range. I have too much city driving and short routes to ever achieve that.

Hi

Never saw this commented on the forum (and I've been a pretty avid reader in the last months while waiting for the car).

Basically, what happens is that I never have the same battery level between when I go to sleep and when I wake up the next day.

Assuming my wife isn't taking the car out during the night to go party, it's probably battery temperature related but wanted to confirm it.

For example, yesterday evening I parked the car with 88% charge while the battery temperature was 32C

This morning, when I entered the car, I had 85% while the battery temperature was 20C

It's always 1-3%

Do you experience the same?

Not had that experience.

Suspect it is the battery temperature.

Important to understand: a battery is not like a gas tank, i.e. with a "known" amount of content.
The percentage reading is an estimate (calculated with various parameters).

Plus, as you said, temperature is a critical parameter. So is the SOC (the closer you are to 50%, the lesser you would loose overnight).

Try less than 50% and see if it goes up...?

That explains why the car refuses to lose % now that I'm at 50%

I'll charge it up today after a trip
