I think it may be much worse than that. Where did you get 100mOhms? I think this is one of the major reasons battery goes bad. I would be surprised if 100mOhms is the correct figure and if we are not talking about a more significant drop. Somewhere I read (years ago) that the amount of current...

Ok. Confirmed. Update is NOT installed. Original delivery date was 05/11/2011

Thanks once more. I appreciate your dedication to helping me out! I will try to call Nissan and find out. Surely they must have a database that they can check against my VIN. Seems silly having to drive there. Toyota stores all my history in their computers, I think Nissan probably does the...

Thanks, that was the answer I was looking for. I hear that regen isn't as aggressive after the update. Is that the case for B driving mode or even when I hit the brakes. In other words, will I lose overall range since I can't recover energy as efficiently?

In truth, this makes me want to stick with my current software. I have not yet encountered problems with any L2 station and I have Leaf Spy for accurately measuring the distance to empty, so I am thinking thanks but no thanks. The only other reason to update would be if I drop capacity bars...

Another one asking for this. What is it with the P3227 that makes it such a must have? I posted my numbers in this thread http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=17703

Makes me wonder though what the update is good for. If all it does is change the way the Leaf displays stuff, then I don't really need it. Why is everyone recommending this?

Hm. Interesting. Your Ah is slightly higher but your Hx is much lower than mine, yet my GID maxes out at around 208. Seems like Hx is quite meaningless.

Point is, I will not put $6k into a battery replacement for a 5 year old car, especially considering that I read recently that Teslas planned Gigafactory can produce Batteries at $100/kw (about $2.4k for a new leaf battery or more for a bigger one). At that point in time, we may have better...

Hm. I was trickle charging at work and it was a warm day as you can see on the temp scale.

Good guess, I have 10 bars :)

Wow. Interesting post. Is there an easy way to check for the update (online) or do I have to roll into a dealership? Either way, I think it will be a throw away car. I have the benefit of using the carpool lane now for the higher depreciation of it. I am somewhat ok with that trade-off and I...

Still playing around with my Leaf Spy app. After my car charged to "100%" and stopped, I ran Leaf Spy and saw that the State of Charge only goes to 92.4% and Gids to 73.7%. Why won't it charge higher? I mean, it is the leaf itself that reports 92.4% through CAN network. I assume Gids is wrt a...

I am not sure what Hx is !? I am also not certain about the battery warranty. I need to check the delivery date of my vehicle, since I am not certain how old it is, but I think I will most likely not qualify (according to the ageing spreadsheet I found here). I think if the cost of the...

Ok, here are my results from Leaf Spy. Battery health isn't all that great, but it seems to have been treated ok (not many QC) and I don't see any shorted out cells. Since I am still new at this, I'd welcome comments.

I ordered a bluetooth OBD2 scanner that I plan to use with leaf spy. Maybe this will get to the bottom of it. Overall, I am disappointed all around by the range of this "car", and this is from a guy who consistently wrestled much better than EPA from every car I have ever owned. I hope that...

I don't know. Is there a way to check? Andre

No I charged to 100% today. First two (12th and 11th were behaving normally) That would be very strange, since I just lost the 11th bar. It just happens to be bar 10. Coincidentally I also have a capacity of 10 bars, which gives some credence to Edy's answer, but I would still be surprised at...

I bought a used Leaf a while ago (probably not such a good decision). I recently noticed that bar 10 on my range bars is much shorter than all the other bars. I only get about 1-2 miles on bar 10, before dropping to 9. Under similar conditions, the others are in the 7-8 mile range. What is...
