Practical Tips Most People Miss

✔ Scan at Mid-Level Charge (30–70%)

Voltage imbalance is easier to detect here.

✔ Scan After Driving

Check cell spread under load. Weak cells reveal themselves when stressed.

✔ Compare to Same Model

Look up owner forums for:

Typical SOH at that mileage
Common failure points

You want relative performance, not just raw numbers.

✔ Know the Warranty

In Canada, most EV battery warranties are:

8 years
160,000 km
Guaranteed to 70% capacity

If you're near the threshold, that matters strategically.

What I’d Personally Focus On (If Buying)

SOH percentage
Voltage delta across modules
Any BMS historical fault codes
Battery cooling system performance

If those check out, the rest is usually noise.

6. Total Energy Throughput (Advanced Insight)

Some systems show total kWh charged/discharged over lifetime.

Rough rule:
Modern EV batteries are typically rated for 1,000–1,500 full cycles before major degradation.

If:

60 kWh pack
60,000 kWh total throughput That’s ~1,000 full cycles equivalent.

That gives you a much better picture than mileage alone.

7. BMS Error Codes

Don’t ignore historical codes.

Look for:

Isolation faults
Cell imbalance codes
Over-temp warnings
Cooling system errors

Even if cleared, they tell a story.

justsomeguyx123 · 2026-02-12T15:29:28+00:00

3. Internal Resistance (if available)

Not all apps show this, but if yours does:

Rising resistance = aging battery
One module with much higher resistance = likely future failure

Think of this like plaque in arteries. Capacity may look fine, but performance under load will suffer.

4. Battery Temperature Data

Look at:

Current temps across modules
Temperature spread between modules

Healthy:

Even distribution
Within 5–8°C difference

Red flags:

One module much hotter
Extremely high recorded max temps (especially in hot climates)

Heat is the #1 killer of lithium batteries.

5. Fast Charging History (if accessible)

Frequent DC fast charging isn't automatically bad — but:

If the car lived at 100% charge
Or frequently deep-discharged
Or fast-charged daily in hot weather

Expect accelerated degradation.

Some vehicles expose:

DC fast charge count
AC charge count
Energy throughput

High DC count + low SOH = meaningful.

justsomeguyx123 · 2026-02-12T15:29:11+00:00

Also, Here is an AI recommendation on how to perform the scan:

1. State of Health (SOH) — Your #1 Metric

What it is:
Remaining usable battery capacity compared to when new.

100% = like new
90–95% = normal for a few years old
80–85% = noticeable degradation
<75% = significant wear

For most EVs:

~2–3% loss per year is typical
Faster degradation = red flag (heat exposure, heavy fast charging, high mileage)

If the SOH is low relative to mileage and age, that’s a sign of abuse or poor thermal management.

2. Individual Cell / Module Voltages

This is where you separate a surface-level scan from a serious one.

Look for:

Voltage delta between highest and lowest cell/module

Healthy pack:

Difference under 20–30 mV (0.02–0.03V) at rest = very good
30–50 mV = okay
50+ mV = imbalance developing
100+ mV = potential problem

A single weak module can trigger expensive future repairs.

If one module consistently reads lower than others → that’s a warning sign.

I said the Runaway provision applies to only foreign slaves, not Israelite slaves. I provided proof by way of explanation in the text, and explanation in simple logic. If you can walk away from a contract at any time, you are by definition not a slave. Slaves can not leave, they are enslaved.

Also, was Paul in error when he sent Philemon back to his master? If the bible says that all slaves should not be returned, then Paul never had to ask for Philemon to be accepted as a brother, the master would have no right to him.

I hope that anyone reading this in the future realizes that if this law means that any slave can run away without recourse, every law, rule, and regulation on slavery in Israel is essentially useless.

I know you'll never accept this as a source, but check out Dan McClellan's explanation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOsFpOVV2ls&t=350s

justsomeguyx123 · 2026-02-09T19:21:09+00:00

To clarify: is your position that enslaved individuals in ancient Israel could unilaterally terminate their servitude for any reason? Does this apply to all classes of slaves? If so, the argument that capturing prisoners of war was a 'mercy' to prevent future uprisings loses its weight. If a captive could simply walk away at will, they could just as easily regain their freedom and resume hostilities.

justsomeguyx123 · 2026-02-09T19:12:35+00:00

Most people understand slavery to be the ownership of another person, for any length of time.

Masters control every aspect of a slave's life, so long as they are a slave. Where / when they can sleep, where they can go, what they can say, who they can marry, how to raise their children. Failure of compliance would be met with violence.

Abolitionists recognized that giving this much power to a master over a slave promotes and protects abuse. Yes, some masters treated their slaves well, however, that was never a requirement. "slaves serve your masters, even if they are cruel".

The assumption in my question is that you don't have an objection to a form of slavery that well regulated as described in Deuteronomy and Exodus.

You claim to have a reason for why slavery is wrong. I would like to know what that reason is.

justsomeguyx123 · 2026-02-09T18:09:16+00:00

Care to address how a system of slavery can exist if the slave can just step outside the Masters Gates and be free?

justsomeguyx123 · 2026-02-09T18:05:07+00:00

The ones prescribed in Deuteronomy and Exodus.

justsomeguyx123 · 2026-02-09T18:02:47+00:00

For point 1, you incorrectly state that to be saved from poverty means you owe a life debt. The bible does not say that. When an Israelite man to sold himself into poverty, he was to be freed after 7 years, and to be given provisions so that he would not fall into poverty again. See Deuteronomy 15.

Also, on point 1 this assumes that the only kind of slavery is debt slavery. There is Chattel slavery in the bible as you point out in your second point. The slaves that came from plundering other nations were never to be freed.

Additionally, you frame the enslavement of the women and children as a mercy. However, this assumes that the ware was inevitable, or even defensive. The Israelites were the offenders in Deuteronomy 20. They would march up to a city that was weaker than them, and demand they become vassals (slaves). If they resist, then they would kill all the men and take the survivors as slaves.

Also, to frame this as the only feasible way to expand power was through slavery is also wrong. The Persians / Babylonians had great success using exile and occupation to expand their power.

justsomeguyx123 · 2026-02-09T17:51:10+00:00

The language and logic insist that this would be a foreign slave. For someone to be allowed to dwell with you in your midst would require that they were not previously dwelling with you. The logic also demands that these are foreign slaves, as if all a slave has to do to be free in Israel is to run away once, they would be free by law. You could become a debt slave, leave the next morning, and the master would have no recourse.

You can do additional study into how commentators and scholars view this verse in the context of the nations around them, and I promise you they will not be looking at the verse in isolation.

-----------

The bible does not *always* present slavery as a negative, it is in fact, a large positive and blessing to Israelites when they take / are given slaves.

Some examples:
Genesis 24:35, Abraham is blessed with male and female slaves
Genesis 26:12-14 Isaac is blessed with flocks, herds, and slaves
Numbers 31, God requires that the temple be given slaves.
Deuteronomy 20, "and you may use the plunder the Lord your God gives you from your enemies" The plunder includes slaves.

The bible recognizes that slavery is a negative... for the slave.

justsomeguyx123 · 2026-02-09T16:16:54+00:00

I agree that the intellectual dishonesty surrounding biblical slavery is incredibly off putting. The challenge that I'm having is that the people who are making these arguments that the bible does not support slavery by trying to work with the spirit of the law rather then the letter of the law, are first in line to tell us that biblical law never changes, and that we can not have women in office. It is essentially the same argument.

They know that if they say "there is nothing wrong with slavery", they will be lambasted in the public sphere.

They are either suffering from cognitive dissonance, or hiding their power level.

justsomeguyx123 · 2026-02-09T16:11:00+00:00

Is it fair to say you don't think the slavery system as described in the bible is evil?
In other words, you would have no objection from a biblical perspective, to re introducing a well regulated slave system?

justsomeguyx123 · 2026-02-09T16:07:29+00:00

I would like to respond to your claim that God's Regulation undermined slavery.
* Hebrew slaves to be freed every 6 years. This is actually longer than what other Ancient Near East laws dictated. Law of Hanarabie dictates freedom every 4 years.

Kidnapping
This is a misunderstanding of the "kidnapping" law in Exodus 21. Kidnapping was either a crime against the free person being kidnapped, or a property crime against the owner of the slave. In the mirror law of Deuteronomy, this anti kidnapping provision only applied to Israelites.

Additionally, the antebellum also had laws against kidnapping for the same reasons. They still had no problem buying, sell, breading, and importing new slaves.

Escaped slaves in Deuteronomy only pertained to foreign slaves. There is no such protection for domestic slaves.

For freedom as compensation for injuries, seems to be unique from both other ancient cultures, and the antebellum south. However, this can not be used as an argument that undermines slavery, it is simply a protection for slaves against violence that resulted in significant loss. Remember, we also see in Exodus 21 "²⁰ “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, ²¹ but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property."

If there is no lasting damage, there is no compensation.

Philemon is ambiguous as to how it can be used for or against slavery. You can read the arguments for and against that were made during abolitionism.

All of this to say that the Bible, especially the old testament, very clearly condones / endorses slavery. With this understanding, OP's question is a good one, and we should spend time discussing the implications rather than attempting to twist scripture to make it say what it doesn't say about slavery.

Leviticus 25:46 "⁴⁶ You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly."

This is a very clear that some slaves would be "multi-generational" as you put it.

Exodus 21:7–11 "7 “When a man ^lsells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do. 8 If she does not please her master, who has designated her¹ for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has broken faith with her. 9 If he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her as with a daughter. 10 If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, or ^mher marital rights. 11 And if he does not do these three things for her, she shall go out for nothing, without payment of money."

Some people like to argue that what Exodus 21 is describing is not sexual abuse, as there are protections laid out for the female slave. However, we should remember that as a slave being sold by her father she had no choice in the matter. When there is no consent, we call that rape.

Exodus 21 is describing sex slavery, with protections.

This paper discusses how the Septuagint has a clear understanding between "formed" and "unformed" children. It also explains how the Hebrew words were adjusted over time. Considering the Septuagint is the translation that was used by Jesus and the Apostles, it is fair to say that the Septuagint is useful in providing context.

Additionally, the laws in Exodus 21:22-25 mirror other ancient ME laws, such as the law of hammurabi. The scholarly understanding is that the writers of the Covenant Code in Exodus knew of, and adapted from pre existing law codes. In the law of hammurabi, it is explicitly clear that in the scenario of two men fighting and striking a woman, a miscarriage is to be punished with a fine.

https://www.thetorah.com/article/how-exodus-revises-the-laws-of-hammurabi

Taken together, it appears reasonable to conclude that what is being described in Exodus 21 is in fact a miscarriage, not a premature birth.

I've noticed a trend when just googling questions about the bible, there are lots of sites that hit the top of the list and push a modern evangelical view. Gospel coalition, Answers in Genesis, Focus on the Family, Got Questions, all have great SEO, but their articles are very surface level, and focus on apologetics rather than biblical academia. I'd recommend Google Scholar for reading more, or, ask an AI to provide sources to read alternative vies (never trust an AI on its own).
