10 bar capacity battery is 71% capacity according to my calculations. For a 40 kilowatt hour battery that is not bad. Now for a 24 kilowatt hour battery that is not very good. It is too bad the refurbished batteries are only available in Japan. Is it true that the new replacement 40 kilowatt...

I was reading an article. They were saying new refabricated battery packs were about $3,000 in cost for the Nissan electric cars. Does anyone know anything about this? If so, what is the life or warranty on the Nissan electric car refabricated battery packs? Is it just the 24 kilowatt hour...

I apologize but I am not interested in derailing from the original subject yet. I have no intentions of going with third party batteries in a Nissan electric car. I am curious if anyone knows what a 30 KiloWatt Hour battery replacement cost is in a Nissan Leaf?

I am not trying to replace a 30 KiloWatt Hour lithium ion battery presently. I just wanted to know the approximate future replacement cost of a degraded battery. I know the old Nissan Leaf 24 KiloWatt Hour batteries cannot be upgraded unless you go with a third party battery installation. I...

Hi, I apologize if this has been already asked. (I searched the forum already and could not find an answer.) How much would a 30 KiloWatt hour battery be to replace in a 2016 Nissan Leaf SV? I have read the 24 KiloWatt hour batteries are around $6,250 in cost to replace presently in January 2017.

Reports like these make me want a battery electric vehicle. Only thing holding me back is the lack of range with these cars. Hopefully the 2017 Nissan electric car range gets a boost of up to 130 miles.

I became turned off to the BMW i3 when I heard the cost of simple replacement parts. An electric car charging port for an i3 was $2,000 with labor and parts. That is ridiculous.

Nissan Battery electric vehicles are very good at ranges of about 70 miles and less currently. If you want a vehicle for long range trips (over 150 miles) go with a plug-in hybrid car for the best gasoline mileage. Some you may want to look at are: Toyota Prius Plug In 2014 Honda Accord Plug...

I read Nissan is launching a battery electric vehicle with a gasoline range-extender in 2016. This is not going to be a Nissan Leaf. Were there any numbers thrown out on the range of the battery electric and how much range the gasoline generator will extend it? The BMW i3 is about 65 miles...

It's not unbelievable to me that they could up the Nissan Leaf range to around 177 to 210 miles in range with a 60 kilowatt per hour battery for a decent price by the end of 2019. Volkswagon and Ford along with Chevrolet are stating 186 miles to 200 miles in range by 2019. General Motors is...

So is the new guarantee on the 2016 Nissan Leaf lithium ion battery to not go below 70% capacity for up to 8 years or 100,000 miles? On another subject I am hoping the next year 2017 Nissan Leaf battery is increased to 36 kilowatts per hour capacity for a range of around 103 to 125 miles on a...

Has anyone heard what the replacement cost of the 30 kilowatt battery is in the 2016 Nissan Leaf? Is it the same $6,000 as the 2015 Nissan Leaf 24 kilowatt batteries?

That is disheartening to hear that no third party company can presently expand electric car range. No one knows of one that does quality work other than a manufacturer? Guess I will just have to wait for the 2nd generation of electric vehicles. I likely won't even look at the General Motors...

Makes me wonder also even if one were not to get this big third party battery expansion pack. Lithium ion batteries are now improving in capacity. With the same 2016 Nissan Leaf SL using the same battery weight in five years it might get you 15% further just by replacing the lithium ion...

What safety variables are you concerned with? Rear end collisions and possible projectiles from the expanded battery?

I have been reading about this third party expansion pack for the Nissan Leaf (for 2011 to 2014). It is $6,500 in cost. They claim to be able to double the range of your Nissan Leaf. I personally think adding 660 pounds of batteries to a Nissan Leaf that only has a 950 pound weight limit is...

I would call that dealership and ask. I am guessing it was the small battery that was replaced but there is no way of knowing without asking more questions.

If I were to get the 2013 or 2014 model of the Nissan Leaf what battery degradation can I expect if I am charging to 95 or 100 percent five days a week. My work commute is a 57 mile trip to and from work. An 80 percent charge would be pushing it to close driving at 60 to 70 miles per hour both...

So the 2015 and later models have the improved battery chemistry. It looks like I will only want to buy the used 2013 and later models eventually because there will be no extra cost on battery installation. The 2012 and 2011 models of the Leaf need adjustments made for the new battery technology.

Which years of the Nissan Leaf have the improved battery that is less sensitive to higher temperatures? I have read it was the 2014 and later model years. Also, if you buy a used Nissan Leaf can you still get the battery replaced for $5,500 plus tax and installation fees from a Nissan Dealer?
