I could swear I responded here weeks ago with the solution. Anyway, you guys were right. I found an AGM battery (Duralast) at AutoZone -- exact same size. My battery was so dead they would have had to try to charge it to even measure the charge. It was a super-easy install -- at least it wasn't...

I thought I had posted this but I can't find it here: I bought a Duralast AGM battery at AutoZone for $240; exact same size as original; installation was a snap; and everything returned to normal instantly, no resets needed. It'll be interesting to see if the headlights are any brighter at night...

I didn't know there was a battery heater. So if there wasn't one, I'd be looking at a lot less than the 40 miles it's showing me on a 20º day? (And I know 20º can seem almost balmy to somebody who has to endure 0º or less.) I'm just wondering if there's any validity to the claim that warming...

I wish we had a 240v line, but we didn't bother with it in this house -- it was great in our previous house, but we drove the car a lot more there (Los Angeles). If it would help keep the car warm and preserve miles we might go the 240v route -- the car has a maximum 50-mile range in winter here...

Thanks for the reality check. Maybe the 5-20 minute warmup is the best I can do.

Well, everything I read about keeping the LI battery warm talks only about doing that by warming up the cabin. Like there's no external heater that will do that if you don't have a heated garage. I also read that starting the car on cold days while keeping it plugged into the trickle charger and...

Our 2012 Leaf is in a carport, not a garage, so it's not much warmer than being on the street. Is it safe to plug car into the trickle charger and keep the car on and heater going all night? Trying to counteract frigid temps. The socket is standard 110/120. Generally the car gets charged fully...

Our 2012 Leaf (bought new) with 24K miles, 2-3 bars down, suddenly won't start and several warning lights come on: Master warning light Brake system warning light EV system warning light Supplemental air bag warning light The battery light shows full charge. UPDATE: I just realized that if...
