Re: Is my battery dying ?

Simon,
Thanks for all your data and investigations.
Do you have any information on the temperature of the batteries?
Despite our mild climate, heavy use and rapid charging can heat up the cells and on a few wintery days, I have rapid charged which has heated up the battery and increased the range.
I haven't yet got canion as I think it would give me a bad case of battery degradation anxiety.
My RR display has lots of variability too despite my drives, conditions and driving style being fairly consistent. How exposed are the roads that you are driving on?
As we both live in "the windiest country in Europe", the wind can have a massive impact on the range especially at higher speeds.
I have noticed that wind seems to be the biggest factor in my range. I also do a lot of driving on 70mph dual carriageways. If I keep the power meter under 1/3 of full power my speed varies from 50mph to 70 mph and slip-streaming a bus can make all the difference
.
My car is the same age as yours and I am interested in the response from peugeot. If this warranty information is correct, I have just under a year's warranty on the battery.
Happy driving.
