So I have seen numerous posts about range decreasing and the wonky BMS, but no one has actually addressed the problem with that. Of course, that's assuming you don't have a faulty battery. I feel like in those cases you'd be able to tell pretty easily.
Does having a BMS that's drifted cause any navigation issues or is it mostly just all your OCD? For example, would it ever reroute you to a charger thinking it wouldn't have enough range if it thinks say, 50mi are unavailable, in an otherwise healthy pack? Realistically, this is an edge case and most of the time a dozen miles of drift likely won't matter on long trips. I guess to rephrase, is there really any major benefit to correcting the drift?
My car is about a month old and I've only been charging every few days (generally like 50-80%). I'm curious if that will keep the BMS in alignment or if that's more of a hassle than it's worth, if there really isn't a major downside other than the number on the screen
