@DaveinOlyWA I haven't done any quick charging with the new pack. Except for about an hour on L2, at the dealership before I picked it up, it's all been trickle charging. I commute about 16 miles to work, mostly downhill, and then back, almost entirely freeway (the return trip is usually stop...

@TimLee: Thanks for your reply. Makes sense that something in the software wasn't updated or reset. I'll see if I can contact the technician and ask them if this is something that needs to be corrected. At least I'm relieved to hear that the shunting is normal. Wish I was seeing AHrs in the 66...

I posted my experience in the 'how long til 4th bar drops' thread, but haven't gotten any replies yet. My new pack was installed on 11/5, and my leafspy data is puzzling. On a full charge, I get around 292 GIDS, and 92 miles on the GOM, but AHr is only 64.38, SOH is 65% (which is what it was...

@714JPP Sounds like a good find! How many miles does it have? Also, just make sure you are calculating the 5 year warranty from the car's in-service date. As long as you have sufficient mileage, 16 months should be a fairly safe bet to get to the 41-42 AHr range, IMHO. You might also want to...

Here's a screenshot:

So fully charged, the GOM shows 91 miles and LeafSpy reports 64.379 AHr and 292 gids. Went up to 100 miles after a long downhill stretch. But SOH still reads 65%, which is unchanged from my old battery. Hx has fluctuated from 99.86 to 100.07. Is this normal for my SOH to not change? And to not...

Got my new battery installed today. Took about 6 hours. I probably should've let them charge it on L2 overnight, but wasn't convenient, so we picked it up with 30 miles on the GOM, and had about 7 miles left when we got home. On the trickle charger, it estimated 23 hours to full charge! Not used...

@futureleaf Do you know the in-service date of your leaf? That's when the 60 month warranty began, so if it was before the end of 2012, you could have less than 15 months to hit your target. For example, if your in-service date was January 15, 2012, then you'd only have until January 15, 2017...

@newmanji Congratulations!! I am still waiting on my new battery to be delivered to Oahu. The dealership told me it could take 2 months, which seems to be a longer estimate than most people receive. It's only been 17 days, so I have a ways to go. If you're on the mainland, it seems like many...

@TimLee Thanks! I'll try to confirm the defect warranty when I go in on Monday. Looks like the capacity warranty is kind of a moot point, since the odds of a new battery dropping 4 bars in the remainder of a typical warranty period (or even 1 year), is slim to none, unless the battery is...

@BradFoxUS Congrats! The replacement will be a 24 kWh pack. The 30 kWh pack isn't backwards compatible with pre-2016 leafs (unfortunately).

@baustin That makes a lot of sense, and it would be nice for the folks that have to pay for the replacement if they got the full 5 year/60k warranty, too. If I learn that I will only have a very short warranty, I guess I will tend toward babying the new battery. Since I am not the car's...

I know this is an old thread, but it was so entertaining to read, and I think it's interesting that when you click the original eBay link, you get a popup that says the "seller was suspended." :P Not sure if that's just a standard message when an old auction link is clicked, or if the seller...

@RCEV13: that's great news!! :D One thing I'm still trying to find out, is if the replacement batteries come with a warranty. It could make a difference in my driving/charging behaviors once I get the new battery. Seems like a lot of people in hot climates, who initially babied their...

@RCEV13 Sorry to hear of your plight. Totally understand not wanting to waste another minute on this, but hopefully Nissan will come through on what you've already done, and at least offer you a partial break on the new battery. Does anyone know if the replacement batteries come with a...
