NOW YOU TELL ME.... Ha ha. Thanks. I understand your opinion. You may have a point. However Jun, July Aug, Sept it is hotter than the hinges of hades. I have some advantage with shade from house in morning, shade in afternoon from tree, but in summer that is less as sun is high in sky. After...

What kind of battery needs to be at or charge at 14.8 volts? I assume you have flooded lead acid (FLA), not AGM or LiFePo4. "The 12v battery charger is always on, attempting to get the battery to 14.4v . It is charging the 12V despite the 12V being at 14.3v disconnected from the car, which is...

Thanks for all the suggestions, cough. I found a nice cover $34, w/ tax + free shipping Amazon about $37. Looks wrinkled, it is. There is no cut out for aft roof antenna. Hard to locate the snap in bushing. I tried but made a mess and it was not located. With antenna on angle ot would make hard...

I am going to be using garage for project and 2015 LEAF is going to be parked outside on driveway for awhile. Want to get a cover. I looked at eBay, Amazon. I LIKE to keep it sub $60. Suggestions?

I have a 2015 SV since end of 2017. It had 12 bar and 23k miles. It has 48k miles and down to 10 bars. It wrnt 12 to 11 six (6) months after I bought it. I was looking to. I found Green Rec or Tech. I recall 40kWh was $9k. 60kWh was $14k, which included new suspension springs for weight. I...

I bought a Walmart Everstart Group Size 51r battery. This was 5 yrs ago, $109. No regrets. The original OEM battery kept dying. More on that later. But the replacement has never died. If you have OEM battery over 3yrs and it dies on you repace it. Life will be good. A couple of things, the load...

Green Tec is 3 hrs away, Goodlettsville TN, North of Nashville. I'll give them a call. The one I Ref is Franklin TN South of Nashville, "hybrid and electric car sales & repair center". I talked to owner and lead technician. He was honest he'd work on LEAF swap, he just did not like to, thought...

Any one pay for this. If so what was labor. The 40kWh pack (used, rebuilt, aftermarket) is a factor. I am really interested in sourcing my own pack. However a turn key solution is in table. DIY - Youtube has several videos. The big deal (pun intended) is the weight of the pack. New cable or...

I am looking for a 40kWh pack for my 2015 LEAF SV. I noticed many LEAF packs new from China.... About $5K. That is cheap. I noticed they want to sell two at a time. So it would require someone to do group buy.

Up date I found a shop near Nashville. Two things... One he only did one LEAF battery swap and he hated it. Two he said I should just sell my 2015 and get the current credit being offered (on used EV's). He is more of a used EV car dealer but claims he does repairs and rebuild battery packs...

I know there are shops o plenty in OR, CA, North East... But Mid Atlantic not so much. I have 4 Nissan dealers within a 30 mile radius. Dealer will not do this kind of swap (I think correct me if I am wrong). I am looking for a 40 kWh battery to upgrade my 24 kWh.... It makes no sense to...

Thanks that was what I needed. I bought the LEAFSpy Pro... and updated to latest Rev. Cheers....

The LEAF is a solid choice based on many factors. The BIG PRO of Tesla has been it's network of Super Chargers..... Of course there are Nissan Dealers, Commercial networks to charrge on road. If you only drive local as I do, charge at home the network of Tesla chargers is less important...

is there a direct reading of charge power being uploaded, like other brands have.... Don't need it just curious. Was this added on later LEAF's. App? All LEAF's of my vintage no longer have Nissan Connect.... I do have LEAF SPY... I have not plugged it in over a year. I do know Leafspy SOC...

This is my opinion AND common advice: Keep battery between 20% and 80% Do not use fast DC charge CHAdeMO routinely** Do charge when temps are cooler (just before sunrise) Do charge to 100% as needed or on occasion, but don't let it sit day or days at 100%, use a full charge fairly soon after...
