Dear Friends
I'm hoping to buy this car and did the condition test. see the attached, will some one advice me how is the battery condition . this is 2011 Fid hybrit one
SOC - 72%
usable IMA battery capacity - 25%
SOC is not an absolute value. Its a relative value with no more than 80% of available capacity as max limit.
"Ageing" can happen in forms of
-Capacity fade (Loss of active Li+ions)
-Power fade (Impedance rise)
A good explanation using Nissan Leaf as an example.
It seems there is a Lawsuit against Nissan because the battery can loose more than 27% of its capacity EVERY year in a Hot climate(like Sri Lanka!)
