We had a new 24Kwh battery installed, after core return, I believe the cost was 4500 or so.
For us, the range became an issue. The charging infrastructure in our neck of the woods is not conducive to short trips with a quick fill up, so we opted to upgrade the car.
In our opinion, battery...
Decided to go ahead and purchase a new battery to be installed Thursday. Will be nice to have full range again. As expected, we lost our 4th bar sometime last week, well past the October 26th warranty period. Basically, though, for 6 grand, we'll have what we consider to be a "new" car. We'll...
I have no verification of the original capacity. I guess I assume (?) given that that was what was advertised, that was delivered.
We currently sit at 44.09 amp hours.
Still a decrease of 20 miles in a pretty big deal especially in the greatly abundant charging network. (Bit tongue and...

As our Leaf quickly approaches bar 8 out of warranty, we're interested in replacing our battery in our 2011 Leaf in the next few months and thought we would look into Nissan's Battery Replacement Program as to be prepared as it were.
After a few phone calls to Nissan's EV Customer Service Group...
Nice discussion and good references.
Ultimately, what matters for the owner is to have some knowledge regarding if and maybe when their Leaf battery might fall under warranty replacement and the math in this discussion helps provide one with some ballpark orientations.
We're currently sitting...
I had a run in with a Turkey Vulture the other night totally dropping the passenger side headlight assembly off it's mounting bracket and was wondering if anyone had any experience replacing the assembly. It looks pretty simple but an extruded drawing or overview would be helpful before tearing...
