If 17 4 is the usable capacity then losing 1 3 kwh from a battery in a spark sold over 3 years ago really shouldn t be frowned upon.
Chevy spark battery degradation.
Then to my surprise last month it went up to 15 9.
With spark you know how much your battery has degraded.
I can only imagine we have our legal brethren to thank for this.
My chevy bolt ev just passed 100 000 miles so let s look at how much capacity.
So i got a used spark ev in july 2018 and the obd torque pro battery capacity read 15 8 kwh.
That would suggest that warranty replacement could occur when the a123 battery degraded to 14 3 kw within eight years and 100 000 miles.
There is a feature on the spark where you can figure out quite easily how much your battery has deteriorated over time travel.
Mine has lost more than 15 in eighteen months and 17k miles.

Since june 10 i have used torquepro and an obdlink mx adapter to measure the battery capacity in my 2016 spark ev.
So i just finished compiling my historical data and calculating my battery degradation after 70 000 miles of driving.

And just this week it went up again to 16 0.
