First time poster, long time visitor. I'm trying to understand the current energy retention level of my 2 year old Powerwall 2's. They don't seem to be holding the kWh's I expect. I'll share some numbers I've got and would like to hear from others if I'm looking at this the right way.
My two Powerwalls are set to 20% reserve and they hit the reserve level around 3 AM this morning. The Tesla app actually showed 18%, the browser version showed 22%. All good so far.
At about 1:10 PM today, the app shows that 17 kWh's were sent to the PW 2's and both the app and browser show 100% batteries.
Here's what I'm trying to figure out. 17 kWh's seems low for batteries that are supposed to hold 27 kWh's new. That equates to 63% of the original usable capacity. And that's the "To" the PW number. If the 90% roundtrip number is correct, that's only 15.3% "From" the PW's when I need it.
80% of new would be in the 21.6 kWh range for 2 new batteries. I'm sure there is some degradation, but 63% would be under the warranty provision and concerning.
Attached is a screenshot showing the PW activity I'm referencing.
Looking forward to help on whether I'm looking at this correctly, or this is normal behavior. Thanks.
