I’m considering an electric 451, and the dealer claims the HV battery is at 90%. The car’s been sitting for months, charged sporadically. In a recent test, the CAP min was 52 Ah. If the new reading is 45 Ah, how does that translate to battery performance percentage?
 
A new battery should have at least 50 Ah. So, 51.4 Ah for an old car is really good. 45 Ah would be 90% of new. 51.4 Ah is like 102.8% of new, which is awesome for an old battery. I don't get what you mean by "percentage of battery performance."

By "percentage of battery performance," I meant how the current capacity compares to the original battery's range and efficiency. It sounds like 45 Ah still offers decent performance.
