Yes, by capacity gauge I mean the outer column of battery bars. That column
still has the number of bars that were there before the battery cells were
swapped.
LeafSpy now reports AHr=62.44 SOH=96% 89.3%. A few hours after a full charge
(100%), there are 266 GIDs. It is about 2000 miles since the swap. These
numbers rose fairly rapidly for about 1000 miles (maybe 0.5AHr per day -- more
if I drove about 50% and let it sit unplugged for several hours -- less if I
drove less or plugged it in, even without charging, right away). Then they
stayed fairly constant for a while. Now they seem to be creeping up again.
I'm sorry I don't have better data.
