Tesla Battery: When It Improves and When It Doesn’t
Below are two Tesla charging examples. Both show cell voltage behavior during charging. The difference becomes clear near the upper SOC range. One case shows balancing recovery.The other shows a condition where balancing can no longer recover the imbalance. Case 1: Balancing Recovers In the first graph, look at the circled area near high SOC. As charging progresses, the thickness of the cell voltage band becomes thinner. The spread between the highest and lowest cells gradual

Tesla Cell Balancing: Why Cell Imbalance Matters and How Slow Charging Helps
One of our Dr.EV users recently asked us a common question: “Why is CB-R bad? And what can I actually do about it?” CB-R is a Dr.EV indicator designed to detect cell imbalance. Why cell imbalance is not good for your Tesla. When cells are imbalanced, the usable energy of the entire battery pack is limited by the weakest cell. In this case, we guide slow charging help passive cell balancing working well. Here is real graph. As SOC goes up, cell voltage differences usually get

Most people miss this when calculating EV battery life
People usually think about it like this. If a battery is rated for 1,000 cycles, and one full charge lets you drive 500 km, then the battery should last about 500,000 km. But there is one important thing missing from this calculation: regenerative braking. In an electric vehicle, when you slow down or brake, energy flows back into the battery and is then used again for driving. This process still counts as battery usage. For example, if during a drive the energy reused throug

Here’s one reason Tesla recommends 80% charging
This charging session is not Supercharging. As battery level approaches ~80%, the current starts to decrease, so charging speed goes down. Even so, the battery module temperature keeps rising continuously and exceeds 50 °C over about 10 minutes. In other words, temperature increases despite lower charging power, mainly at high battery level. This is one practical reason Tesla recommends daily charging up to around 80%. It’s not only about fast charging, but about reducing tim

Week 8 Update After Tesla BMS a079 Symptoms (Trying to Avoid the Error Code as Much as Possible)
This experiment is based on a user scenario involving a vehicle that is already out of warranty and has shown signs of the BMS a079 symptom. The approach focuses on keeping the vehicle operating as stably as possible for as long as possible, while accepting a certain level of inconvenience. It has now been eight weeks since the BMS a079 symptom was first detected. So far, the BMS a079 error code has not occurred even once. Around the third week, the battery condition showed s

Second Week Results After Tesla BMS a079 Symptoms (Avoiding the Error as Much as Possible)
This is the second week’s result since the first detection of the BMS a079 phenomenon last week. So far, the BMS a079 error code has not yet appeared. As shown in the left graph, even under the same charging conditions, the maximum cell deviation remains around 0.05 V, similar to last week. However, in the right graph, the maximum deviation has increased significantly to about 0.08 V. This difference is also clearly visible in the statistical data. While it’s possible to redu
