Went to the car wash yesterday. Hot day, A/C on, unknown SOC. Although the car wasn't in the wash track for an inordinate amount of time, and it was turned off while it was being dried & Windex'd, when I started it up to drive away, the SOC showed only one bar.
I know when the car is in N, it will not turn on the ICE to recharge the battery. In hindsight, I prolly should have turned the A/C off and double-checked the SOC before I gave them the car, but this has never happened before, and I've taken it to this car wash many times.
Any possible damage to the battery by allowing the SOC to go below its intended range? I'm guessing no, but I'm curious whatcha all think.
