Re: Who has daily battery dumps or recals?
For my car to throw the IMA battery deterioration code, it took roughly 1 recal (full cycle from 7-8 bars, to 1-2 bars, back to 8) per 2-3 miles city driving along with near-instant recals upon starting the car. This is with the latest software. The IMA light came on just before the SoC would start jumping up to 8 bars.
I took it in to a local dealer yesterday, and once they saw deterioration codes they ordered a replacement pack with no questions asked.

The last three to five days have been extremely rough with recals. I am getting a minimum of two recals every trip I take. My daily commute to work consists of 35 miles one way. I am getting a total of four recals each day. I also have noticed my avg mpg has went from 44.5 to 40.4 off a full tank of gas. The forced charge duration has been getting shorter and shorter and have noticed rapid jumps in SoC, 3 bars to 8 bars.

Also, does your invoice say "REMAN" anywhere?

How long have you been dealing with recal?

RENG: GENERAL ENGINE
CK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON
Caused by
CHECKED OUT AND HAS A FAULTY IMA BATTERY REPLACED ASSEMBLY
Corrected by 1181H5: (03217)
Work performed by <technician's name here> (276)
Installed 1D100-RMX-405RM : IMA BATTERY ASSY. Qty: 1
Freight: FEDEX OVERNIGHT
No REMAN- forgot to ask the advisor if he knew whether it was new or refurbished.
The first 20 miles of city driving after the pack was installed yielded 51.2 MPG- quite happy with that. So nice to have the IMA system working as it should.

After the new upgrade, I now have them every time I stop the car (has been 3 days like that) I took the car to the dealer yesterday again and they are looking at it.
I posted a video of what it does on Youtube:
