I assume the build date on the car is before 4/'13?

My used '13 Leaf SV w/build month of May 2013 and 1st in service date (from previous lease) of near the end of 6/2013 is at 30.6K miles and still has all 12 bars. I'm in a hotter part of the SF Bay Area (e.g. NOT a cooler place like city of SF) but my area is probably generally cooler than Irvine. Hx and SOH for me is still hovering between high ~87% and 90%, or so, sometimes 91%.

It's manufacture on 02/2013 purchased on 04/30/13.

Thanks. You have added to the evidence that suggests that 2013 Leafs built before April of 2013 have substantially higher rates of battery degradation.

My 2013 SV lost its 1st bar at 51k miles. I purchased it new in March 2013.
I'm wondering if this might have been caused by the dealer doing a level-3 charge on it while I had it set to 100% (which I don't do often). I had brought it in for a front wheel bearing replacement (under warranty) and lost that 1st bar within a day or two of coming home from the dealer.
What do you think? Coincidence? Does the Leaf slow its charge speed to level-2 between 80% and 100% when connected to a level-3 charger?

3 years 51k miles and you lose the 1St bar? That's actually pretty good. It would help if you posted where you're located.

I doubt it has anything to do with it.
I just lost my first bar at 42k miles. My leaf had 270+ quick charges on it when I bought it and has hovered between 86 and 84% SOH since I bought it last summer.

Every Level 3 charge I have done (Aeroenvironment, Nissan, others) slows at about 80% and it seems like it's about at Level 2 at that point.

How do I see % SOH?
You need the Leaf Spy app on a smartphone, and a bluetooth OBDII diagnostic port reading device.

My 2013 SV lost its first bar a few weeks ago. I would guess I noticed within a few days, as both my wife and I drive it. I will attach a pic of Leafspy from the day I noticed it was down 1 bar.
3/4/16
Ahr 55.78
SOH 85%
Hx 81.54
45,310 mi
289 QC/1347 L1/L2
Inservice 9/2013 IIRC, I purchased used with 37k mi in 8/2015

2013 leaf SV lost my 3rd bars at 28.5k. Car is manufactured 02/13 and leased on 04/30/13. Payout is $17500 and dealer offer $7500 off on lease buyout. anyone interested to buy? Few months ago I leased i3rex already, so I don't need another ev. Or should I buy and sell after received battery replacement?

Mine 2013SV was manufactured in January 2013. I bought it in March 2015, and lost my first bar in October 2015. I checked it again today, just to see where it's at. AHr is down to 48.58, SOH is 74%, and Hx is 68.12%.

I thought the first bar disappeared around 54-54.5 amp hours. 55.78 is the highest 1-bar loser I have seen.

Pretty impressive .The assemblers must have got a raise that day at Smyrna.DaveinOlyWA said:
30 days ago I was at 60.2 Ah 20.4 kWh ( Bat temp 59 F average) , now low 57's Ah 19.4 kWh ( bat temp 74 F) . seems a fine line between degradation and healthy pack.
After 3 years pretty much the same battery capacity as the average 13 model (manufactured summer 13).
The next EV I own, , Bolt or e-NV200 or whatever WILL have tms, and of course a large battery.
Hopefully I won't need a really long extension cord before that happens. :?
