How to Check Tesla Battery Health (State of Health Guide)
Understanding Your Tesla's Battery Health Battery health, often referred to as State of Health (SoH), is a measure of your battery's current capacity compared to its original capacity when it was brand new. All lithium-ion batteries, including those powering your Tesla, undergo a natural process of degradation over time and with use. This means their ability to hold a charge gradually diminishes, which can subtly reduce your vehicle's maximum range. Tesla's battery technology is renowned for its durability. Real-world data frequently demonstrates that most Tesla batteries retain a significant portion of their original capacity, often 85-90%, even after extensive mileage, when properly cared for. This longevity is a testament to Tesla's sophisticated Battery Management System (BMS), which actively works to optimize performance and slow down degradation. Why Battery Health Matters Monitoring your Tesla's battery health isn't just about curiosity; it offers tangib…
