e-Stang battery capacity test
8/11-16/2023

25.7 miles driven; yellow light going on regularly but not stuck on so maybe another 1-2 miles before 2.3V cutoff; WAS REGEN SWITCH BROKEN YET?
61.4 Ah capacity
61% proportion of nameplate
59% proportion of new
14.6 years driven on this 2nd Valence pack (replaced under warranty after 2.4 years)
17.8 years estimated life to 50% of nameplate if linear decay
3.2 years left before 50% of nameplate
Nov '26 estimated replacement date at 50% nameplate
63.3 Ah discharged
1.8 Ah charged via regen
3% capacity extended by regen (but clutch switch is currently broken so limited to 12 amps instead of 50 reprogrammed up from 30 which showed 7% increase in range earlier - need to redo this, may be as high as 12% or 28 mile range)
8758 Wh net capacity
57% proportion of nameplate (worse than Ah due to increase in internal resistance)
9040 Wh discharged
2.84 miles per kWh, similar to Mach-e but far less peppy and less cargo
