That’s a good looking chicken as your profile pic

That is Squeaker (Squeak), she was my beloved ringneck dove that I had since I was 11. She passed away a couple years ago now. But thank you, she was a pretty bird

Yeah I'm not convinced that state of health has any significant meaning except in cases of extreme values.

When I pulled the state of health on this truck immediately after purchase, it showed 98%. Today when I just checked it, it showed 99.5%.

I hope you're right! It's just disconcerting to me since mine always read 100, and now has dropped twice in the same day.

But the values seem small and given the age and use of my truck (lots of DCFC every summer on cross country towing trips), I guess some minor wear really isn't unexpected.

i just bought a '25 Lightning. How do you check the SOH and what's SOH mean?

Most folks who care about stats like that get an OBD scanner and use an app (like Car Scanner Plus) to pull values including SoH (State of Health).

As to what State of Health means? Dunno. AFAICT, nobody really does. It's just a number that loosely maps to the age/wear of your battery -- but it has a lot of jitter in it. As I posted above: I'm pretty sure it's not a useful metric except in situations where it's extremely bad.

Perfect, thank you.

It actually tracks the BECM Battery Capacity metric and how it relates as a percentage of design capacity (397Ah).

Like the stock market, just don't check every day?
