Firn replied to the thread How Much Battery Capacity And Range Has My Ford F-150 Lightning Lost After 3 Years and 38,000 Miles?.You cant have it both ways. If its measuring capacity based on energy in vs energy out then it is NOT using the voltage to determine...

Firn replied to the thread How Much Battery Capacity And Range Has My Ford F-150 Lightning Lost After 3 Years and 38,000 Miles?.So you are saying the BMS could be using something other than direct measurement of voltage and temp to determine capacity. Like a SOH...

Firn replied to the thread How Much Battery Capacity And Range Has My Ford F-150 Lightning Lost After 3 Years and 38,000 Miles?.Again, a State of Health estimate is also necissary for the BMS to estimate the capacity. Using voltage (and temp) would only calculate...

Firn replied to the thread How Much Battery Capacity And Range Has My Ford F-150 Lightning Lost After 3 Years and 38,000 Miles?.That isnt necessarily a fool proof method for finding SOH. The BMS doesnt "know" the energy to empty (kwh) in the battery, its just...
