Battery Degradation Estimator
Estimate battery health degradation over time based on usage patterns and charging habits
Important: Battery degradation is complex and varies significantly between vehicles, battery chemistries, and usage patterns. This calculator provides rough estimates based on research and typical degradation rates.

🔋 Tips to Minimize Degradation
- Keep battery between 20-80% for daily use
- Minimize DC fast charging when not necessary
- Avoid leaving car at 100% or 0% for extended periods
- Park in shade or garage when possible in hot climates
- Pre-condition battery before fast charging in cold weather
- Use scheduled charging to avoid leaving battery at 100%
