Batter capacity degradation indication

A vehicle comprising:

• a battery having a battery type and a battery capacity;
• an electrical motor to receive electricity from the battery and to provide motive force;
• a controller to provide state of charge of the battery, temperature, and vehicle off time;
• a display to provide data representing at least one display image presenting information related to a state that contributes to degrading battery capacity;
• a display generator to generate visual data for display in the at least one display image to provide a visual, representing the state, which is based on the state of charge (SOC), temperature, and vehicle off time, and user selected options to reduce battery capacity decay, to the user, wherein the visual data is at least in part based on usage data of the vehicle and the battery type;
• and
• wherein the display generator is to generate a visual display based on using the vehicle off time that includes extended vehicle parking time, a battery capacity decay visual data based on prior vehicle storage and charge for a same day one week prior to current day, or a combination thereof.

Vehicle comprising:

• a battery having battery capacity;
• an electrical motor powered by the battery to provide motive force;
• a controller to provide battery state-of-charge, temperature, and non-use time;
• means for displaying visual data showing a relationship of state-of-charge and ambient temperature versus non-use time, extended parking time, historic same-day vehicle usage and battery type from the controller;
• and
• means for prompting a vehicle user to alter vehicle conditions to manage both battery capacity and battery life using displayed visual data to reduce battery capacity degradation.
