For comparison, my 2014 Leaf at 41K miles is at 77% SOH. I've treated the battery very well since I purchased it used with 8,700 miles in 2017. At the time LeafSpy reported 100% SOH. I'm located in the midwest for temperature comparisons. I would say compared to mine yours is holding up well...

To close out this thread, I used the adapter coupled to a Motive Power Bleeder to bleed the brakes on my 2014 Leaf. I used the "dry" method and kept refilling the reservoir instead of putting the fluid in the Motive bottle. The adapter worked perfectly. For $20 it's a steal.

You are welcome! Let me know how it goes. I plan to do my actual flush and fill this weekend.

Found this pressure cap for $20. Worked perfectly on my 2014 Leaf. I mentioned it in this thread: https://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=624400 https://www.cosda.com.tw/brake-bleeder-adapter-for-nissan-sd-1209-6.html

Color me skeptical, but this pressure brake bleed cap worked perfectly. Arrived today, taking 19 days to arrive from Taiwan. After work I attached it to the Motive Power Brake Bleeder and attached it to the Leaf's reservoir. Pumped it up to 15 PSI and it didn't drop for about the 5 minutes I...

I'll try and remember to post how it works out.

Stumbled on this cap for brake bleeding. Going to give it a shot. With shipping from Taiwan it's $20. https://www.cosda.com.tw/brake-bleeder-adapter-for-nissan-sd-1209-6.html

Thanks all! This has been very helpful for my friend.

Tapping into the hive wisdom. My friend sent me the message below. How would you advise him to make this work for a potential Leaf tenant so everyone wins? Thanks! "I’ve got someone who looked at the apartment and has a leaf. She charges with a regular extension cable. I have screw in fuses in...

I managed to perform a brake service on the passenger front and rear so far on my 2014 Leaf. I was having bad squealing from a sticking parking brake when I reversed the car. I found this excellent video on rear brake service including the parking brake: https://youtu.be/3REPy7rm4a8

I recently made a 40-mile drive on the highway going around 63 mph for most of the trip. Perfect weather. I was about 85% SOH and fully charged. At the end I used about 45% of the battery. I've updated my stats at the link below. Still at 12 bars at 27,559 miles...

Last stats as this experiment is probably ending. I'm purchasing a LR EV. Planning to keep the Leaf as a town car but will to start charging to the percent needed to make the car more viable. I was trying to keep the range as high as possible for longer trips but that won't be important with...

Update after another 1,000 miles of living below 40% during a hot summer. Stats from last post, 62.48 AHr, 95.53% SOH, 93.90% Hx, stayed stable over the past 6 weeks. I made two longer-range pulse drives this weekend. The first drive went from 100% SOC to low 30's. Numbers dropped to: 60.82AHr...

Update: Finally made a long 108 mile RT pulse-driving run (lunch with mom :D ). I L2 charged to 100% (97.1% actual) at home. LeafSpy reported 275 GIDS on a full charge. This was the first time in 34 days I’ve charged beyond 40%. I drove 406 miles in between these dates. Starting stats: Hx...
