Excellent helpful post. Thank you.

Yes, possibly less expensive. But the advantage the prototype he demonstrated has is that you can convert a CHAdeMO vehicle to be compatible with both CHAdeMO & CCS. 😁

I agree with your recommendation Gerry. My 2011 LEAF recently required new tires. Factory OEM was Ecopia, and all replacements had been Ecopia for first replacement and Ecopia 422 Plus for other replacements. I was sick and tired of their poor tread life and poor wet performance. I wanted...

Thanks Gerry. I had forgotten about the main pack having to be above 25% staus of charge for HVAC to work while LEAF is ON and charging. That is probably why DC to DC was not available to put current into the 12V. And as you point out, the cutout does not reset once SOC is above 25 percent, till...

On my 2011 LEAF, I recently observed that while L2 charging the main pack, that if the LEAF is ON, the DC-DC converter is inactive and NOT available to charge the 12V battery while the traction battery is charging. I only discovered this because I left the LEAF ON to keep the 12V auxiliary...

The service functions are disabled each time LEAFSpy Pro exits. To enable: Choose Settings (Three horizontal lines , sometimes called Hamburger, at top right of screen) Click Gear Icon Settings on pop-up menu. Service Screen Enable Option is fourth group from the top. Check Enable and restart...

All the signs of unstable 12V buss voltage. A battery that is nearing failure can be fully charged on a trickle charger, show good voltage at posts, and have adequate voltage for a LEAF to start, but be so marginal that it then goes unstable on voltage and the LEAF brakes eratically and throws...

Thanks for the great info. My Blink quit five years ago. I got lucky and swapped my 120V non-modified convenience charger with someone wanting one for a lease return, and have been using their 240V upgraded convenience charger. But fixing the SD seems like a likely easy fix when I find time to...

Welcome. Thank you for the very informative post. I also think you may have a bad high load on the 12V buss. I agree with you that 100A charging of the 12V can be very bad. But I do not think the LEAF has any means to control the current flow into the 12V. When the windshield wipers are...

Interesting approach, and probably why you haven't had any more 12V problems. How did you come up with that idea? I never thought of doing that, probably assuming disconnection of the 12V battery current sensor would cause some problematic fault. What does the CANBUS show the 12V current to...

Yes, when LEAFSpy shows 12 V amps being positive, current is flowing into the 12V battery at the 12V buss voltage shown. (At least for my 2011 LEAF, but I believe that is correct for all model year LEAFs). But the 12V amps is NOT always a positive number. If the 12V battery is fully charged...

The new Ooltewah, TN (Mailing address. Is actally in Collegedale city limits. About 16 miles east north east of downtown Chattanooga. I75 Exit 11) is really pretty at night. The soft green lighting is impressive! Haven't used it yet. Hope its there and WORKING for many years. The Murphy...

It depends on the battery tolerance. A made in China Sunbeam brand 2032 from Dollar Tree did NOT work in my 2011 fob. I'll try Advance Auto 2025 at two for $4. My current one is Harbor Freight 2025. They are cheap but don't last very long.

All replacements have been brand new batteries. 66.14 AHr Miles varies based on driving. But with new battery the Distance to Empty (aka Guessometer) typically showed between 95 and 110 for my moderate driving. Realistic range from100% to Low Battery warning was more like 65 to 80 in warm...

All get the 2015 model year forward more heat resistant chemistry.

No. I also asked my dealer service manager who drives a 2011 LEAF about it two weeks back. Dealers have not gotten any info yet either. The need for new wireless also applies to some other Nissan products beside the LEAF.

Unless Nissan allows a good will ouside of warranty either partial or total replacement. I dropped the fourth bar two weeks late and Nissan did 100% replacement. But no clear formula on when and why Nissan does or does not do good will.

LEAF Spy Pro is theoretical maximum SOC. LEAF charging stops before theoretical maximum. Dash adjusts to make max charge 100%. I think dash 0% is either turtle or possibly dead in the water pack auto disconnect.

I'm not sure how significant the impact is other than inaccurate data from the BMS. With time it will catch up. But may take months. The reason and only appropriate use in Consult III of the Clear Long Term Capacity Data function is when a new pack is installed. Many technicians have NOT...
