Would love to see a tutorial on this. One of mine went out a few months ago so I bought one at a junkyard for $60 Would like to fix the one I have to have one as a spare.

I know this was a very long time ago but I was wondering how you went about fixing your issue is you ever did? My LED headlight just went out on my 2011 and don't want to pay the ridiculous amount they are asking to fix it which is close to the trade in value of the car.

This is how happy I was; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKlxjbhB9HE

I would try taking it in and have them do an evaluation on it since it is way below in AHr then what it should be when it drops.

:shock: I can't believe it hasn't dropped yet.

Lol

With 2 weeks to go before the 5 year expiration date and 58500 miles, I have finally dropped the 4th bar. My status were 43.41 AHr and 66% SOH. AHr started jumping around. The night before it was at 43.41 and yesterday morning when I turned on the car it read 43.7 AHr but I looked at the...

That's exactly why it is so ridiculous to use the bars as the measure for getting a battery. They can program those bars to be 50% before you lose the fourth bar or may be even 75% but they can't mess with the actual capacity of the battery.

So recalculating subtracting the 8% Nissan claims for saving the battery. That would make it a 22 Kw battery pack which would make each bar worth 1.83 Kw (22/12). My max Kw at 100% charge is 16 Kw so I have a loss of 6 Kw (22 - 16). 6Kw(loss)/1.83Kw(per bar) = 3.27 bars, so I should have...

What I don't understand is why the class action lawsuit doesn't insist on going with capacity vice bars. Bars can be programmed to show what ever they want especially when money is on the line. I purchased a 24 kh battery as per their advertisements and specifications. Now according to the...

It was a bad day for green vehicles. Another LEAF also met up with a tree as well and 2 Priuses said hello to an airplane at Montgomery Field. Here is the news story. They also talk about your LEAF...

For the first time, I saw 3 LEAFs including myself at one stop light with out it being planned. Goes to show the amount of LEAFs in San Diego is growing. We were all exiting Otay ranch Mall on Town Center Dr at Olympic Pkwy. It was quite a sight. How many have you guys seen excluding planned...

Wow, I live in San Diego too and purchased the car in Aug 2011, I have 36,000 miles. I have only lost 1 bar, you must have purchased a vehicle with a bad battery. Although I kind of wish I would loose the 4 bars before the 5 years or 60K so I can get a new battery but it appears that won't happen.

Very true.

I test drove the Fiat it's a little too plain and much smaller than the LEAF. But it will get you from point A to point B it has about the same range as a LEAF.
