Before my new pack was installed, I would drive as long as possible to drain the battery to turtle mode in the heat. I was amazed at the amount of power that was available at the lower end of the battery. Now I charge only to 80% and plan on babying the new pack. Keeping it cool as possible...

Congratulations on the 4th bar. Now you can leave the range anxiety behind when going across town.

New battery in today. Planning a long ride tomorrow. Charging set now for 80%. Will be installing swamp cooler in garage for summers. Will be charging @ night in summer so battery will remain as cool as possible.

New battery on the way.

New battery is on the way.

They did a battery test and sent results to Nissan. Waiting for my service advisor to call me back. Will stop by tomorrow if I don't hear from him by 10 am.

When I went in 3 months ago, the bad module was replaced because my capacity was reading 10 bars. I made sure the latest update to the software was downloaded and checked that the previous owner didn't opt out of the class. I was told what not to do by the dealership to degrade the battery any...

At drop to 8 bars, 42.15 Ahr, 64% SOH, 43.02 HX, 30,990 OD, 2 quick and 2007 L1/L2 charges. 2011 silver SL #4639. DOM 05/11. Delivered in June 2011. I recall the car spent time in a northern New England state. When I purchased it, it would read 60 miles range and would go only 15 miles to 0...

Just dropped to 8 bars this morning @ 42.15 Ahr. SOH 64% HX 43.02 OD 30,990 mi. 2 quick 2007 L1, L2. Guessometer was reading about 50 in drive and 54 in eco. On the highway at 70-75mph I'd get about 40 miles before range anxiety. Probably about 50 or so to turtle on side streets in eco. Going to...

Just dropped to 8 bars this morning. Went to dealer and have to bring it back Monday for the test and get the new pack ordered.

Sorry for the lack of an update. The dealer replaced module 48. The car after 1 month dropped to bar 9. I recently got an OBD II reader and Leaf Spy. I am currently at 42.1 AH, so I should be dropping to 8 bars any day. I have till June before the warranty runs out, so I'll get the new pack anyways.

Tim, the warranty is on the car not the purchaser. The settlement terms of the class action suit clearly state that the battery packs will no longer be restored and will be replaced with a new battery pack.

Increased tire size would increase the distance covered per revolution of the tires. This also would slightly increase the power needed per revolution and decrease actual odometer and speedometer readings. In theory it should decrease the miles per KWh.

I thought if possibly there was a way to disconnect #9 and tie it to #10. This way it would flash up on start and be lit up when the new battery is installed. I would never do this of course, just a thought.

Now @ 42.29 AH 64 SOH 43.25HX 30,681 OD 2 QC and 1988 L1, L2 charges. Just got the proper Bluetooth OBD Ii that will work with Leaf Spy. This is my 3rd check and it's a steady decline from 42.40 AH. Anyone purchasing a Bluetooth OBD II reader needs to be careful to get a reader that is...
