You'll have to search the forum for the thread about how to do the draw down test. That is the only way to see how much battery you actually have. There's nothing you can plug in to tell the capacity on a meter.
Well - in a way, your 4 hour drive did the same thing. Just look at how many kWh's you used on that trip. That's the battery capacity. Probably the best real world consistently driven draw down test ever done.
triangles said:The battery loses capacity with age and usage. After your long trip you had used 16.3 kWh. That is your battery's useable capacity. When the car was new it should have been about 18.5-19.5 kWh. With your car having about 63,000km on it and being a few years old 16.3kWh is about what would be expected given the cars age and distance traveled.
