I've been charging to 100% and leaving it connected until the lights go out. I was wondering how it could be at 84% SOH and not have dropped a bar and then it lost a bar yesterday afternoon. I've had a LEAF for over three years now (first a 2013 and now a 2015), so I'm reasonably aware of...

Am I correct in my understanding that red means the balancer is drawing current from that cell?

The blue bar is towards the short end of the range of voltages, but is usually not the lowest. Voltage distribution was around 15mV when I checked. It does not drop more than the others on acceleration or rise above the others on regen, so the cell internal resistance seems to be ok.

A few months ago, my mother-in-law bought a 2013 LEAF with about 40k miles on it. My bluetooth dongle wasn't working at the time, so she bought it without a LEAF spy scan. (The price was low enough that it was worth it even if it was about to lose its first capacity bar) It has seemed to have...

We updated the software on our '13 Leaf, and were told that should fix the problem. We should swing by the last place we had the problem (downtown Raleigh, Nash Square) to confirm. We were also told that if we encounter the problem again, to return the cord to the charger, power cycle the car...

The sustainability Durham ones were fixed some time ago, but I just ran in to some in Raleigh, at Nash Square that still haven't been fixed. They had notes on them saying that they don't work with 2013 or newer LEAF. I'd love to find out the technical details of the incompatibility and build...
