Question about SOH
Posted: Wed May 27, 2026 5:01 pm
As far as I understand, SOH is a measure of how worn out your battery is, ie the % of the installed capacity that the battery can still charge.
After 2.5 years, mine says it has lost 6 % ie SOH = 94 %.
This got me wondering :
a) is this normal ?
b) are there any charts of expected SOH over time ?
c) is using 'force charge' responsible for the decline ?
Wondering if this is a linear thing ie lose 10% installed capacity every 3 years, or if it declines at an increasing rate over time ? Trying to get an idea of how many years of life I've got left in the batteries before they no longer meet my needs ( installed capacity 16.5 kwh, need minimum 10 kwh, currently daily charged energy = 12.6 ).
