    Chademo killed my new 2018 Leaf

    Hi Dave, Do we need to organize a DO NOT BUY NISSAN campaign until Nissan figures out how to make the 2018 Charge at least as good as the 2016?

    ELM327-type OBD Bluetooth devices for Android Apps

    I have an ELM327 and it worked well for almost a year. When LeafSpy Pro updated to version 0.39.97 it dropped the connection and I went through the process you described to get bluetooth connecting again. Now it works with the car on, but during charging, the SOC opdates when the EVSE is...

    Why the Leaf?

    Hello tattoogunman, I have had a 13SL for almost a year. I have paid a lot attention to Battery Temp. That is the key to managing range degradation. So, do you have a garage to park the car in?? You are hot enough it Texas that if your car is out in the sun you might have a problem, but you...

    2013 LEAF capacity bars

    My 2013SL is about 2000 cars newer than baustin's, but we both have the same "old" battery chemistry and the new charger in the front and the heat pump. I am in a little cooler climate. I have 32000miles and 12 bars, about 90% SOH. I think the moving the charger to the front of the car made a...

    Will my tire and wheels fit? ( from 2009 prius touring)

    No, the wheels will not fit. Nissan has a larger bolt pattern.

    Looking at buying 2013, Battery question

    Hi Mike, Get a car Fax to see where the care lived. Or check "home" in the nav". I got a 13SL about the same sales date. Lived in Vancouver Wa and now have 38,000 miles. 12 bars and 90%SOH. So if it lived in a cool climate the Battery can still have lots of life. Enjoy, Dan

    6.6 kw charger on 2013 S model.

    I do not know how the Leaf charge would be set up. But I do know that 12a instant-on will spark when plugged in to an extention cord and that the female connector on the extention cord will go bad in about 6 months of usage in this fashon. Thanks, Dan

    Portable Generator minimum spec

    This is all very interesting. Where on LeafSpy do you see the current transfer? I have put a 12v charger onto the car and seen 7 amps just seem to disappear with the 12v battery not being charged much. I did not look to see if I was getting charge into the HV Battery. Thanks, Dan

    Brakeless brake lights for B-mode?

    This issue is not new and is not only with regen. 20 years ago I drove 1960s British sports cars to work. I had people keep telling me that the brake lights were out, when the problem was a down shift. So yes, it would be safer to base lights on deceleration. Probably both pedal and...

    Tip: How to Recharge the 12-volt Battery

    Hi Tim, I have not had any more events since Aug 2nd. However, I am thinking that the problem is really that the "brains" in the car, or in the NissanConnect system are, on occasion, turning something on. I have had 3 or 4 events between April and August where I went out to the car in the...

    Tip: How to Recharge the 12-volt Battery

    The ODB-II current is trivial. I have had it plugged in with no use of the car for several days before with no problems. When my 12v battery went down the current draw was several amps. It was obvious that something else was drawing a lot of power. Also this current draw did not stop until...

    Tip: How to Recharge the 12-volt Battery

    Thanks for being patient with me telling this story between my other daily tasks. When I first got the car to go into accessory mode and connect to LeafSpy, the cabin fan was on. I turned that off and realized that the car had not completely booted up and I had a red triangle. I tried it again...

    Tip: How to Recharge the 12-volt Battery

    Hello Marktm, Yes, I understand what you are saying. However the battery is now up and will hold the 12v for some time. It is not acting like what I have seen before for a dead cell. I will publish more data later when I get it. Thanks, Dan

    Tip: How to Recharge the 12-volt Battery

    Hello soldcake, I did not say it went from 12v to <8v instantly. I said I did not get data in that timeframe. I assume it went down sometime during the Aug 2nd time that LeafSpy did not get data. Thanks, Dan

    Leaf spy outside temp reading

    In order for the sensor to read accurately you need lots of airflow through the grill. The stuff behind the sensor can get hot. The charger and the AC radiator. This gives abnormal high readings if the car is not moving or if the radiator fans are not running. I expect this is the reason Nissan...
